TASHA

Mother’s eyes narrowed. For a moment she looked like she wanted to take him again, but she smoothed her hair instead. She leaned in and placed her hand on my arm, her voice low. “Promise me you’ll take it.” The words brushed the air between us like a command wrapped in affection.

I nodded once, more out of habit than agreement.

Her expression eased, and she stepped back, turning toward the opposite hall with her posture lifted and confident. “Don’t be late,” she said, already halfway down the corridor. Her heels tapped against the tiles in a firm rhythm that pulled the light with every step, and she vanished behind the curve of the hall before I took another breath.

I adjusted the wrap around Tamrine and pressed my cheek gently to the top of his head. His breathing slowed, and his fingers gripped the fabric of my dress with the soft insistence only a newborn could manage.

The vial sat warm now in my hand, and the hall stretched wide and bright around me, echoing the expectations

  • Rebirth of the mad luna   Chapter 30

    TASHAThe clinic room felt almost too clean, the kind of clean that made every flaw in my body feel exposed. Dr. Marrick guided me inside with a steady hand at my elbow, and the door slid shut behind us before I could catch a full breath. The white panel walls adjusted their light to my pulse, softening along the edges as if the room monitored my stress and tried to flatten it. He lifted Tamrine from the carrier with practiced ease and set him in the built-in crib embedded into the diagnostic counter. The crib warmed beneath him in a slow pulse, reacting to his small Alpha-coded signature, and he settled instantly. I watched the rise of his chest and forced my own lungs to match the rhythm. My body felt heavy, thick in a way that reminded me of the double dose from last night settling behind my eyes like fog. Every limb protested the movement from the hallway to the chair.“Start from the beginning,” Dr. Marrick said while tapping the screen beside me. “List everything you’ve felt the

    TASHADr. Marrick angled himself in front of me and guided my chin upward so he could study my eyes. His expression stayed focused, all clinical calm, and his voice came firm and direct. “Stay with me, Tasha,” he said, and the words cut through the haze gathering behind my temples.My knees loosened again, so he drew my arm over his forearm and held me upright with a practiced ease I had seen him use on patients who came into the clinic after Omega crashes. A passing nurse from the neighborhood health unit hurried over when he signaled, and he reached for the buckles on Tamrine’s carrier.His movements stayed precise and grounded, as if he had practiced this rescue a hundred times. He lifted my son with one arm, brought him against his chest, and secured the strap so the carrier rested comfortably against him. The sight of Tamrine safe in his hold let the air settle in my lungs, even though everything else inside me felt drained and scattered.Dr. Marrick shifted his grip on me and gu

    TASHAA monitor beeped near my ear, rising in pitch until it drowned every sound. I saw the doctor’s mouth moving, forming instructions I already knew by heart. The room brightened until it bleached out the edges of my sight, and every memory I had tried to bury came back in a single sweep—crying without sound, waking disoriented on the cot, swallowing pills I pretended would help me think clearly. In the dream, my hands shook against the restraints and the panic spread through my ribcage until I couldn’t tell where the dream ended and where the memory began.I jerked awake with my pulse slamming against my neck. The room spun in slow circles, and sweat soaked my clothes. I sat up too quickly and the nausea rose so fast I barely made it to the bathroom. I dropped to my knees in front of the sink and threw up until everything in my stomach emptied into the basin. My eyes watered from the force of it, and my body felt drained and uncoordinated.When the retching stopped, I leaned forwar

    TASHAI walked back into my room with the plan to sit for a moment and pull myself together, but my mother was already there, perched on the edge of my bed. Her travel bag sat beside her leg, upright and zipped, and she studied me with an expression that reached past the surface.She stood when she saw how heavily I leaned against the doorframe. Her eyes moved over my face, then dropped to the baby strapped to my chest, then returned to me with a clarity that sent heat up my neck. “Tasha,” she said, and her voice filled the space with the familiarity of someone who raised me through every phase of childhood. “Did you take your pills today?”The question hit me harder than I expected. I opened my mouth to answer, but the words stuck. The day stretched behind me like a fog, and when I tried to search farther than that, the fog only thickened. My mother stepped closer and placed her hand under my chin, guiding my face upward. “Think,” she said gently. “When was the last time you opened t

    TASHAI started the morning certain the house would cooperate with me, and that confidence faded fast. Tamrine fussed against my shoulder while I moved through my room, the hall closet, the nursery, and even the bathroom where I once stored my old textbooks.My school packet was gone—ID, access card, medical clearance, transcripts, even the little orientation booklet the academy mailed out with holographic security tabs along the edges. I lifted blankets, checked under the crib mattress, and searched the pockets of every coat I owned.The panic grew in a slow, hot sweep that pushed me to retrace every step I took the day before, but nothing came back clearly. My head felt thick, as if my thoughts waded through wet wool, and that heaviness stuck to me no matter how many deep breaths I took. I held Tamrine closer and paced the room a final time, hoping something would flash in the corner of my eye, but the walls stayed stubborn and empty.The packhouse felt too bright as I walked down t

    TASHAThe shift in the estate unfolded in ways that felt almost unintentional, like a series of small adjustments made by people who hadn’t planned on noticing me at all. It began with simple greetings from the elders whenever I entered their offices—nods that lingered long enough to register as genuine interest instead of polite obligation.Elder Sera stopped me outside the administrative wing one afternoon and asked how Tamrine handled the new nutrient blend. I answered while balancing him against my shoulder, and she listened with an attentiveness that suggested she actually planned to reference my opinion in her next meeting. Moments like that accumulated slowly, building a rhythm I hadn’t expected.Even the estate’s medical director paused during a routine scan to ask if I wanted to add developmental sessions to our schedule. I found myself saying yes automatically, surprised by how natural the offer felt. People saw me differently. They watched me raise my son with consistency,
