THE LUNA HE TOOK FOR GRANTED Chapter 65: She is back
“Aurelia?”The woman standing in the doorway stepped into the light.She looked to be in her early fifties, with dark hair threaded with silver and a thin scar running from the corner of her mouth toward her jaw. Her clothes were simple, her boots covered in dust, and her eyes carried the exhaustion of someone who had spent years looking over her shoulder.But it was the way she looked at Aurelia that made Lyra's heart tighten.Not like a stranger meeting a relative.Like a daughter returning to the woman who had mourned her.Aurelia rose unsteadily from the bench.“Eveline?”The woman nodded.For a moment, Aurelia seemed unable to move. Then she crossed the chapel and stopped just inches from the stranger, afraid that reaching out might make her disappear.“I buried you,” she whispered.“No. You buried the child they told you I was.”Aurelia's face crumpled.She touched Eveline's cheek with trembling fingers, tracing the scar as if she needed proof that the woman before her was real.

The Twin Nobody ClaimedThe Twin Nobody ClaimedFor several seconds, nobody moved.Lyra looked from Aurelia to Darian, waiting for one of them to explain how another set of twins had become entangled in a family already torn apart by secrets.“Elara had a twin?” she repeated.Aurelia nodded slowly. “They were born three days before Elena gave birth to you and Liora. My daughter was named Elara. Her sister was named Eveline.”“Where is Eveline now?”“I don't know.”Darian gave a bitter laugh. “That's the problem with this family. Everyone has a missing daughter, and somehow I'm always the one expected to explain it.”Lyra turned on him. “You could start by telling the truth.”He met her gaze, but his expression remained guarded.“I will. But you need to understand something first. Elara and Eveline were not ordinary children in the eyes of the council. Their birth records were altered before they were a year old. One was registered under Aurelia's name. The other was registered under a

Aurelia took a step backward. “No,” she whispered. “That cannot be Darian.” Lyra moved toward the entrance, but Kael caught her arm. “Wait.” The knock came again, harder this time. “Aurelia,” the voice called. “I know you're in there.” Liora had gone strangely quiet. She stood beside the altar, staring at the door as though she were watching something nobody else could see. Lyra squeezed her hand. “Stay behind me.” When the door finally opened, Darian stood beneath the fading evening light. His shirt was torn, and a dark bruise covered one side of his face. There was dried blood near his collar, but he remained on his feet. Behind him stood Rowan, looking thoroughly displeased. “He insisted on coming here,” Rowan explained. “I thought you should hear what he had to say before deciding whether to throw him back into a cell.” Darian barely acknowledged him. His eyes were fixed on Aurelia. For a long moment, neither spoke. Then Aurelia crossed the chapel and sl
THE LUNA HE TOOK FOR GRANTED Chapter 62: The Secret Aurelia Kept.
"Aurelia?”Lyra stared at her sister, waiting for an explanation that would make sense of everything.The woman had spent years hiding from the council. She had helped Elena and Elias, survived the destruction of the old alliance, and returned Lyra to her mother when everyone else believed the child had been lost.Now Liora was suggesting that Aurelia had once been known by another name.“How do you know?” Lyra asked.Liora shook her head, pressing her fingers against her temple. “I don't know how to explain it. I remember a room with blue curtains. Mama was there, and Aurelia stood beside a window. Mama called her Elara.”Lyra turned toward Kael.He looked as confused as she felt.“Aurelia has never mentioned having a daughter,” he said.“Perhaps because she was never allowed to acknowledge her,” Rowan suggested.The words settled heavily between them.Lyra folded Darian's message and slipped it into her pocket. “We're going to the old chapel in Riverhaven. If someone knows what happ

The Daughter Nobody RememberedThe passage was so narrow that Lyra could barely walk without brushing her shoulders against the damp stone walls. Behind her, Liora stumbled twice, and each time Lyra reached back to steady her.Neither of them spoke until the noise from the hidden room faded.Then Liora whispered, “Lyra, what did that man mean?”Lyra kept moving. “Which part?”“The daughter of Elara.”She had been asking herself the same question.Darian had said Elara was their grandmother's sister. The stranger had insisted that Elara's daughter was the one they wanted. Yet everyone believed Elara had died without leaving children.Someone was lying.Possibly everyone.“I don't know yet,” Lyra admitted. “But we'll find out.”They reached a wooden door at the end of the passage. Lyra pushed against it, and it opened onto a deserted storage shed behind the abandoned building. Afternoon light slipped through cracks in the roof, illuminating old baskets and broken furniture.Liora emerge
THE LUNA HE TOOK FOR GRANTED Chapter 60: The Woman Named Elara
“Who is Elara Voss?”Lyra kept her eyes on Darian, refusing to let him escape the question. The document trembled slightly in her hands, but she forced herself to keep reading the name.Elara Voss.Another woman carrying her family's surname. Another piece of a past everyone seemed determined to bury.Darian rubbed a hand over his face.“She was your grandmother's younger sister.”Lyra blinked. “My grandmother?”“Your mother's mother. Elara disappeared before Elena was old enough to understand what had happened. The family was told she died during a border attack.”“And you knew about her?”“I knew the name. I never met her.”“Then why are you frightened?”His silence answered before he did.“Because Elara wasn't supposed to be on that document.”Liora moved beside Lyra, studying the paper. “Maybe she helped Daddy.”Darian turned sharply toward her.“Why would you say that?”Liora frowned, as though the answer were obvious. “Because I remember her.”Lyra's fingers tightened around the
