Chapter 156: Misunderstandings and Revelations

XENOIS

The guard's face went white as he suddenly realized exactly who he was dealing with. These weren't ordinary visitors to be turned away with bureaucratic excuses - this was Thorne, whose reputation for violence preceded him wherever he went.

Fortunately, I managed to grab Thorne's arm before he could get out of the car and demonstrate exactly why his reputation was so well-deserved. "Easy," I said quietly. "Let's not start a diplomatic incident."

The guards immediately waved us through, their earlier officialness replaced by obvious relief at not having to deal with an angry Thorne. As we drove past their checkpoint, I caught sight of one of them reaching for what was probably a phone to warn their superiors about our arrival.

"You need to keep your anger on a leash," I told Thorne as we made our way through the pack's residential areas toward the hospital.

"My anger is perfectly controlled," he replied stiffly. "I didn't actually h

Loved this chapter, although I do think Xenios should have been in constant contact. Can’t wait for the next update xx

    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

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 425

    Chapter 425XENOISI stood in our family room the next morning, watching my children settle into various seats, and wondered how exactly one explained cosmic debts and alternate timelines to a five-year-old.Riley, Lake, and Ollie occupied the couch together, that unconscious closeness they'd developed since the facility rescue making them gravitate toward each other during stressful situations. Shawn sat in an armchair, his seventeen-year-old face already showing concern—he'd picked up that something significant was about to be discussed.Lumina was beside me, her hand in mine, both of us drawing strength from the contact. My parents stood near the window, having insisted on being present for this conversation. Thorne positioned himself by the door, his second-in-command instincts making him want clear exit routes even in our own home."Thank you all for coming," I started, then immediately felt ridiculous. Like this was a business meeting instead of a family conversation about impos

    Chapter 424LUMINA"I'll help," Lynn offered immediately. "I have contacts in magical communities who might know about entities like Janice. If she's old enough to manipulate time, someone has to have encountered her before.""And I'll coordinate with other healers," Lyn added. "See if anyone has medical knowledge about preventing or reversing cardiac events triggered by supernatural forces. The heart attack was a warning. Maybe if we understand the mechanism, we can find a way to protect Lumina when Janice comes to collect."I watched them mobilize, watched these people who'd become family refuse to accept what I'd already resigned myself to, and felt something warm bloom in my chest alongside the fear."Thank you," I said quietly. "All of you. For not just—for not accepting this. For fighting even when I've already given up.""We don't give up on family," Zade said firmly. "That's not how this works. You gave yourself a second chance and used it to save everyone around you. Now it's
