XENOIS

"Then we negotiate while our other teams move into position," I said. "Buy time, keep them talking, make them think we're willing to trade or compromise. Meanwhile, our extraction team finds an alternative entry point and gets Samuel and Silvia out before the negotiation breaks down."

"That's a lot of moving parts," Lake observed. "A lot of things that could go wrong."

"Which is why we're taking twelve hours to plan instead of rushing in immediately," I said. "To identify po

  • Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart    Chapter 455

    Chapter 455OLLIEThere was Grandma. There was Mom. There was—Xena.The name arrived in my head from somewhere, some overheard conversation, some scrap of family history I'd absorbed without really meaning to. Dad's sister. I didn't remember much about her, only that she'd died a long time ago, before I was even born—before any of us were born, actually, years and years before, back when Dad was still young himself. There were a few pictures of her around the house sometimes, tucked into corners, and Grandma got quiet in a particular way whenever her name came up, the kind of quiet that meant you weren't supposed to ask more questions.But it couldn't have been her. She'd died before I was born. There was no way she could have been in the garden with me at three years old, laughing, helping me bury a hair clip like it was pirate treasure.I didn't have a nanny. I was almost sure of that, though the certainty wavered a little the longer I sat with it—surely I would remember something

    Chapter 454OLLIEThe house was quiet in a different way than home was quiet.At home, even at night, there was always some small sound moving through the walls—Riley's footsteps on the floor above mine, or Lake talking in his sleep, or the low murmur of Dad's voice from downstairs if he was still up working. Here, at Grandma and Grandpa's, the quiet was thicker. Older. Like the house itself had settled into sleep along with the people in it, and I was the only thing still awake inside it.I lay in the guest bed with the blanket pulled up to my chin, staring at the ceiling, listening to my own heartbeat instead of anything useful, and told myself to close my eyes and actually sleep this time.It didn't work. It never really did anymore.I waited until I was sure—really sure, the kind of sure that came from lying still long enough to hear the house's breathing settle into something even and unbothered—and then I reached under my pillow and pulled out the little flashlight I'd packed in

    Chapter 453SILVIAHe didn't answer immediately. I watched his shoulders go tense, his whole small body curling slightly over whatever he'd found, and when he finally sat back, there was something cupped carefully in his dirt-stained palms."What did you find?" I asked, leaning closer.He opened his hands slowly, and I saw it—small, faded, half-buried in clinging soil that he brushed away with careful, reverent fingers. A hair clip, or what had once been one, the kind of small, delicate thing a young girl might wear, its original color impossible to determine beneath years of dirt and weather, one edge slightly bent as though it had been stepped on at some point before finding its way into the earth.I frowned, turning it over in my mind, trying to place it. We'd had no young girls in this family in years—not since Xena, and she'd been gone so long now, long before this particular garden bed had even been planted. I couldn't imagine how something like this had come to be buried here,

    Chapter 452SILVIAWe went to the library after, and Ollie disappeared into the children's section with the focused seriousness of someone conducting important business, returning twenty minutes later with a small stack of books about ships and pirates, which made me smile without quite explaining why to him."You used to be obsessed with pirates," I told him, checking the books out at the desk. "Absolutely convinced there was buried treasure somewhere in my garden. Spent an entire summer digging up my rose beds looking for it.""I don't remember that," he said, though something in his expression suggested a faint, half-formed recognition, some echo of the memory even if the specifics had faded."Well, your grandfather remembers it very well," I said. "He had to replant those roses three separate times before you finally gave up the search."Samuel groaned theatrically. "Don't remind me. I still have a scar from where I stepped on the trowel you left buried under the mulch."Ollie lau

    Chapter 451SILVIAHe packed a small bag himself, methodical about it in a way that struck me as older than his years, folding a change of clothes with careful corners, tucking a toothbrush into a side pocket, the wolf going in last, cradled on top like something precious that needed protecting from the rest of the contents.Downstairs, Sophia met us at the door, crouching to Ollie's level with a warm smile. "Have fun with Grandma and Grandpa, sweetheart," she said, and reached to pull him into a hug.I watched him go stiff, just slightly, the same reflexive tension I'd noticed in him for years now around his mother's touch, though he let the hug happen, his arms coming up around her in a mechanical approximation of an embrace that lasted exactly as long as courtesy required and not a second longer."Bye, Mom," he said, stepping back the moment she released him.Xenois appeared then, wiping his hands on a towel, having clearly come from somewhere in the kitchen, and Ollie's whole post

    Chapter 450SILVIASophia sounded surprised when I called, though pleased underneath it, the way she always was when I offered to take one of the boys off her hands for a weekend."Just Ollie?" she asked. "Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like you have to single him out, Silvia, he might feel—""I'm not singling anyone out," I said, which was, strictly speaking, a small lie, since singling Ollie out was exactly what I intended to do, but I'd learned over the years that framing mattered enormously with Sophia, who carried a tender, easily bruised place when it came to anything that hinted her boys might need something she wasn't already providing. "I've had Riley and Lake over plenty this year, you know that. I just want a turn with my grandson. Is that so strange?""No, of course not," Sophia said, warming. "I think he'd like that, actually. He's been a bit—" she paused, searching for a word, and I heard the small hitch of frustration in it, "—withdrawn, lately. Maybe some time
