Sophia

The phone buzzed again as I reached for it on the table and checked who was calling.

It was Xenois. Perfect timing.

I took a deep breath, composing myself before answering. This was my chance to turn today's meeting with Lumina to my advantage.

"Hello, Xenois," I said, sounding sad and disappointed about my day.

"Sophia, how are you? I wanted to check in on you and Riley. How was your day?"

His voice sounded warm and concerned towards me and I felt a familiar ache in my chest.

This was the Xenois I remembered from years ago, the one who used to care about my well-being above everything else.

"It was... difficult," I said as I sat down on the couch nearby and allowed exhaustion to color my next words.

"I took Riley to the grocery store to pick up some things for dinner, and we ran into your wife."

There was silence on the other end of the call before he spoke. "Lumina was at the store?"

"Yes, with Ollie. And Xenois..." I trailed off, as if I was trying to choose my

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 427

    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

    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

    Chapter 423LUMINA"Why?" Rivers asked suspiciously. "What did this Janice want in return?""A promise," I said. "When I died, when she offered to send me back, I promised that if I got another chance, I would leave Xenois. Would take Ollie and remove us from his life so we wouldn't have to suffer through his neglect again.""But you didn't leave," Silvia observed."No," I agreed. "Because when I came back—when I woke up in my past self one year before everything fell apart—I started investigating. Started paying attention to things I'd dismissed before. And I realized, well it took leaving here with Ollie to seek refuge in Zade's pack that Xenois wasn't choosing to neglect us. He was being magically controlled by Sophia."I looked at Xenois, seeing the same guilt and pain I'd been carrying reflected in his eyes."Once I understood that," I continued, "I couldn't leave him alone,. Couldn't abandon him to that manipulation or let Sophia win, . So I stayed and fought for it.. Exposed h

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 422

    Chapter 422LUMINAI sat in Xenois's office the next evening, surrounded by the people who'd become our inner circle, and tried to find the words to explain something I'd been keeping secret for six months.The room felt too small despite its spacious dimensions. Zade and Lyn occupied the couch, Rivers standing protectively behind them with Thorne mirroring his position near Xenois's desk. Lynn had claimed one of the armchairs, her healer's eyes already assessing me with concern. Silvia and Samuel stood by the window, their expressions carefully neutral but radiating the kind of tension that came from knowing something significant was about to be revealed."Thank you all for coming," Xenois started, his hand finding mine where we sat together behind his desk. "We—Lumina and I—need to tell you something. Something that explains the heart attack and a lot of other things that probably haven't made sense.""You're scaring us," Lyn observed quietly. His gravity manipulation abilities were
