Chapter 10

Xenois

As we drove toward their home that was located in the less populated area of the town, Riley quickly fell asleep in the backseat, clearly suffering from jet lag.

"How is Ollie really doing?" Sophia asked quietly, once she was sure her son was asleep. "Any improvement?"

I fixed my eyes on the road unwilling to admit to her how little I knew about my own son's condition.

"He seemed better this morning, actually. More energetic and bouncing off the walls."

"That's wonderful new

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 431

    Chapter 431JANICEI had done this eleven times before Lumina.Eleven threads unraveled and rewoven, eleven people sent back to fix a moment that broke them, eleven debts collected when the balance came due. I remembered each one, though most people would think a thing like me couldn't remember anything at all—that I was just a force, a rule, a law of nature wearing a woman's shape. They were wrong. I remembered everything. That was the curse of what I was. I never got to forget.Lumina thought I was cruel. I understood why. From where she stood, cruelty and inevitability probably looked the same. But I wasn't cruel. I was constrained.Let me explain it the way I wished I could have explained it to her, if there had been time, if the rules had allowed for more than the little I'd already bent.The world does not like being changed. This is the first thing I learned, centuries ago, when I still had a name that wasn't Janice and a life that wasn't this one. Time is not a river, no matte

    Chapter 430LUMINAChapter 430LUMINAThere was no floor beneath me, and yet I was standing.That was the first wrong thing. The second was the color of the world—or the lack of it. Everything around me was gray, but not the gray of fog or stone. It was the gray of nothing. Like someone had erased the world and forgotten to draw it back in."Where am I?" My voice came out smaller than I wanted."Somewhere between," Janice said.She was there suddenly, though I hadn't seen her arrive. She looked the same as she had in my dying moment six months ago—tall, still, her eyes holding centuries I couldn't count. She didn't look cruel. That was the worst part. She looked almost kind."Between what?" I asked."Between what was and what will be," she said. "It's easier to talk here. No distractions. No pack bonds pulling at you. No heartbeat to worry about."My hand went to my chest without thinking. No heartbeat. She was right. I couldn't feel it beating at all, and the panic that should have c

    Chapter 429THORNENightwalkers poured from the shadows—not from inside the warehouse, but from the surrounding buildings we'd thought were clear. They'd been waiting, watching us breach the empty structure, timing their assault for maximum effectiveness."Contact!" I shouted, opening fire. "Multiple hostiles, ambush pattern!"My team responded instantly, forming defensive positions and returning fire. But we were caught in the open, halfway between the compromised warehouse and actual cover, exactly where any competent tactical planner would want their enemies.Jerome was proving to be a very competent tactical planner."Alpha Command, Delta Team under heavy assault!" I reported between bursts of gunfire. "Ambush force, estimated twenty plus combatants, requesting immediate support!""All teams reporting similar attacks," Xenois responded, his voice tight. "This is a coordinated counteroffensive. We walked into a trap. All teams fall back to rally points, regroup and—"Static cut off

    Chapter 428THORNEI crouched in the darkness behind an abandoned warehouse on the eastern edge of Jerome's primary operational territory, watching my strike team make final equipment checks, and tried to ignore the crawling sensation between my shoulder blades that suggested something was about to go catastrophically wrong."Comms check," I whispered into my radio. "All teams report in."The responses came in sequence—Alpha Team positioned at the northern compound, Beta securing the western safe house, Gamma ready to breach the southern supply cache. Twelve separate strike forces spread across four territories, all waiting for my signal to attack simultaneously.It was the largest coordinated offensive operation our coalition had ever attempted. And it was about to kick off in approximately three minutes."We're really doing this," Marcus said beside me, his enhanced hearing probably picking up movement inside the warehouse that my normal senses couldn't detect yet. "Actually declari

    Chapter 427XENOIS"We're going to figure this out," I said firmly. "All of us together. We'll research, we'll plan, we'll find a way to satisfy Janice's debt without losing Lumina. And if we can't find a way—" I met Shawn's eyes, "—then we fight. Cosmic entity or not, she wants to take our family member, she's going to face resistance.""That could trigger the timeline reset," Thorne warned from his position by the door."Then we make sure our resistance is measured enough not to cross that line," I said. "We defend without attacking. We protect without threatening. We show Janice that taking Lumina comes with complications she might not have anticipated.""That's a very thin line to walk," my father observed."We're Blackwoods," my mother said. "We specialize in walking thin lines. It's practically our family motto.""I thought our family motto was 'tactical innovation through controlled chaos,'" Riley said, his tears stopping as he engaged with the practical discussion."That's th

    Chapter 426XENOIS"I got you killed in another timeline," Riley said flatly."No, Sophia got him killed," I corrected. "And me. And Lumina. We all failed in that timeline because we were being manipulated by someone who'd spent years perfecting her control techniques. But this isn't that timeline, Riley. This is the one where we got it right.""Because Mom died and came back knowing what to look for," Riley said."Because someone gave me a second chance," Lumina agreed. "And that brings us to the part of this conversation you really need to understand."She explained about Janice—the necromancer who'd sent her back, the promise she'd made and broken, the debt that was now coming due. I watched our children's faces as they processed increasingly impossible information.Lake looked confused but accepting—he dealt with dimensional portals daily, so time manipulation probably didn't seem that far-fetched. Ollie seemed scared but trying to be brave. Riley's expression was calculating, his
