The Human Luna's Goodbye Chapter 167
Orion's POVI stood on the gravel with the car door still open and the engine idling. Celeste faced me beneath the thin roadside light, her arms crossed, the same wounded expression she had worn for years."Was this all you?" I asked.Her head snapped up. "What are you talking about?""The kidnapping. Lily walking alone to Golden Crown after dark. Weston waiting on the exact stretch of road between our territories. The bombs. All of it. Did you orchestrate it?"She stepped back as if my words had struck her. "No. How could you even ask me that? Lily is my daughter. I would never...""Then explain it," I said, my voice low. "Lily is five. She does not know the back roads to Golden Crown. She does not leave pack land alone after dark. Weston does not wait three hours past the county line for a random child unless someone told him exactly when and where she would be.”“Explain the letter. Explain the timing. Explain why the bombs were al
The Human Luna's Goodbye Chapter 166
Elara's POVI didn't bother with Orion anymore. Samuel's phone buzzed with a confirmation text right then, the transfer complete. He looked at Weston."Money's in your account. Cut the bombs. We're leaving."Weston laughed like they were old friends catching up. "Samuel, your idea of modern weapons is a little outdated. Who defuses anything anymore?" He pressed a button on the small device in his hand, and the countdown displays on both bombs stopped cold. He looked entirely pleased with himself. "Just toss them somewhere. Like an old backpack you don't need."Both of us were disgusted by him, the casual cruelty in his tone somehow worse than the bombs themselves had been.Even fairly sure it was safe now, Samuel still pushed me back, moved Sterling and me to a farther distance, and went alone to toss the defused explosives aside.I'll admit, watching his hand touch that thing, my heart nearly stopped in my chest, every muscle in me locked t

Elara's POV"Silverwing wants you back kneeling at the pack gates. Twenty-four hours, in front of everyone. That's the atonement Callan's asking for." Weston looked at Celeste. "Do it, and the girl walks free the second the clock runs out."Celeste dropped to her knees, not in front of Weston, but in front of Orion. "I can't go back, Ori. If I go back, Callan will kill us both the second nobody's watching. There's only one way out of this. Marry me. If I'm your Luna, I don't have to go back at all."I could see exactly what she was doing. She wanted Orion to marry her, and she wanted me standing right here to watch it happen, to see with my own eyes how much he cared about Lily, how far he'd go for the two of them.Orion looked at me, hesitant."Do what you want," I told him. "Don't worry about me. We haven't had anything between us for a long time."Lily started crying, straining against the soldier holding her, the wires on her chest shift
The Human Luna's Goodbye Chapter 164
Elara's POVHearing Orion say that, I actually felt myself relax a little, tension I hadn't realized I was carrying easing just slightly out of my shoulders. It at least meant Celeste had finally gotten what she wanted, which meant she'd probably leave me alone going forward. I took Samuel's hand and got into his car. We drove toward an abandoned factory somewhere past the edge of the city, out where the streetlights thinned out and the road turned to gravel.On the way, Samuel had his acting beta, Rowan, mobilize a portion of Golden Crown's forces as backup, coordinated with whatever Orion was bringing separately along the same route. He called Orion himself to let him know, keeping the conversation short and businesslike. Orion just mocked him through the phone anyway."That's what incompetent men do, isn't it? Call for backup." Orion's voice was pure contempt down the line. "My Argent could tear his throat out in one bite, no army required, no strategy needed
The Human Luna's Goodbye Chapter 163
Elara's POVI hadn't caught whatever Celeste had said before this, only saw Orion shut it down fast, his face going hard in the process. Right then, a video came through from Weston. Lily, sitting alone in a room, and inside it, a cage. Inside the cage, a gray wolf that had clearly gone half-mad, throwing itself against the bars over and over, foam gathering at its jaw.Celeste came apart completely. She begged Orion to get Lily out, over and over, her voice breaking further with every repetition.Then she crawled toward me, crying. "Elara. Please. Tell Orion the truth. Do you still love him? I need to hear you actually say it."I had no idea what game she thought she was playing, no idea what that "last road" she'd mentioned earlier even meant. I could only give her the truth as I actually had it. "Of course I don't. I stopped loving him a long time ago." I took Samuel's hand. "I love Samuel. We're getting married soon. So there's no version of this wher
The Human Luna's Goodbye Chapter 162
Elara's POVOrion didn't say much, just handed the letter over to Samuel without a word, his face unreadable in the dim hallway light. Celeste, who'd been sitting on the couch downstairs crying, came toward us instead, hollowed out with despair, her steps unsteady, her arms wrapped around herself like she was holding something together by force."Whatever you're angry about, come at me for it," she said, voice thin and shaking. "If you want my treatment patent, take it. All of it. I won't fight you for a single piece of it, I never wanted the credit that badly. But why would you let Sterling get my daughter killed?" Her voice cracked. "Don't tell me this was unintentional. It can't be. Not with everything else that's happened tonight."I had no idea what to do with that, the accusation landing somewhere I couldn't quite process yet. I looked to Orion instead, hoping he could make sense of what I clearly couldn't.He explained. The kidnapper had already ca
