The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 39: The Woman in the Portrait
•Lisa•I couldn’t move.I stood in front of the portrait with my hand pressed against my mouth, staring at the woman who looked so much like Milo that my mind refused to accept what my eyes were seeing.It wasn’t just the shape of her face.It was her eyes.The same dark eyes Milo had inherited.The same slight curve of the lips.Even the way her hair fell around her shoulders reminded me of him.My heart pounded.“No.”I stepped closer.The woman in the painting looked young. She couldn’t have been much older than I was now.Who was she?Why was her portrait hidden beneath the villa?And why was it labeled The First Blood Heir?My fingers moved toward the plaque.I stopped before touching it.A floorboard creaked behind me.I spun around.Ronan stood at the entrance.My heart jumped into my throat.He looked at me.Then his eyes moved past me.Straight toward the portrait.For one second, neither of us spoke.His expression changed.Not surprise.Not confusion.Recognition.I noticed
The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 38: The Basement Opens
•Lisa•I couldn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the silver arrow buried in the tree.Then I saw Ronan standing between me and the attacker.Then I remembered the way his hand had touched my cheek.I rolled onto my side and stared at the ceiling.I hated that my heart still reacted to him.After everything that had happened, after five years of forcing myself to move on, one look from him could still make me forget how to breathe.I sat up.Milo wasn't here.He was still in the city, recovering under the care of the doctors.The thought made my chest tighten.I had promised myself I would protect him.That meant I needed answers.I slipped out of bed and opened the door.The hallway was quiet.Two guards stood near the staircase.They nodded when they saw me.I walked past them.I wasn't going anywhere.At least, that was what they believed.My eyes moved around the villa.Something had been bothering me since I arrived.The house was too large for the
The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 37: Milo’s First Shift
•Milo•My heart was one thing that always made me feel the cool breeze of the city rather than being surrounded by bushes.I had gone there because of my heart again… it’s always failing me and I don’t know why and this time it was a little worse.I woke up sweating.My blanket was wet beneath my back, and my heart was beating so hard that I could hear it.I opened my eyes.The hospital room was dark.Only the small light above the door was on.“Mom?”No answer.I turned toward the empty chair beside my bed.My mother wasn’t there.I remembered her telling me she would come back.She always came back.I pulled the blanket closer to my chest.“Mom?”Still nothing.A strange heat moved through my body.I kicked the blanket away.My chest hurt.I pressed both hands against it.Something was wrong.My heartbeat became faster.Then slower.Then faster again.I tried to call the nurse, but my voice wouldn’t come out.The room suddenly felt too warm.I closed my eyes.A strange sound came fr
The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 36: Victor’s Nightmare
•Victor•The baby was crying.I could hear him.The sound came from somewhere beyond the darkness, small and frightened.I tried to move toward him.My legs wouldn’t obey.“Take me to him.”No one answered.The crying grew louder.I looked around.Blood covered the ground beneath my feet.My breath caught.I knew this place.The cliff.The same cliff I had tried to forget.A woman stood at the edge.Her back was turned toward me.She held something in her arms.A baby.“No.”My heart began pounding.“Don’t.”She turned slightly.I couldn’t see her face.Only her eyes.They looked familiar.Too familiar.“Give him to me.”She stepped backward.The baby cried again.I rushed forward.The ground disappeared beneath me.I fell.“NO!”I woke up screaming.My body jerked upright.Sweat covered my face.For several seconds, I couldn’t remember where I was.The room slowly came into focus.My bed.The curtains.The dim lamp beside me.My chest rose and fell heavily.I pressed a trembling hand
The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 35: The Hidden Archive
•Desmond•The words on the paper refused to leave my mind.The child is next.I read them again before folding the paper and placing it inside my jacket.Someone had warned me.No.Someone had threatened me.The difference mattered.I looked toward the locked door.Whoever had slipped that message beneath it had entered the villa grounds without being noticed.That alone was enough to worry me.But the mention of the child made everything worse.Milo.I couldn’t stop thinking about him.A sick little boy who had appeared in Lisa’s life shortly after she disappeared.A child Ronan didn’t know existed.A child Victor wanted found.And now someone else knew about him.I needed answers.The arrowhead was the only thing I had.I pulled it from my pocket again and placed it on the table.The strange marking near its base caught the light.I had seen that symbol before.Not just in the old investigation.In the pack archives.I remembered an old record room beneath the eastern wing of the Al
The Dead Luna's Secret Son Chapter 34: The Assassin Escapes
•Desmond•The forest swallowed the last trace of the attacker.I stood between the trees, listening.Nothing.No footsteps.No movement.Not even the sound of leaves shifting beneath someone’s feet.I raised my head and breathed in slowly.The scent was faint.Human.But there was something else beneath it.A bitter smell that reminded me of old metal and burnt herbs.I moved forward.A guard appeared between the trees.“Nothing on this side.”“Keep searching.”He nodded and disappeared.I continued alone.The moonlight barely reached the forest floor. Broken branches lay scattered around the area where the attacker had escaped.I crouched.There.A footprint.Then another.I brushed away the leaves surrounding it.Boots.Not paws.Not claws.Boots.I stared at the impression.The person had come prepared.That bothered me more than the attack itself.Whoever had done this knew exactly where to stand.They knew when Lisa would be beneath the tree.They knew Ronan would be close enough
