The Luna He Didn’t Choose 182
Bella’s POVI screamed her name.“NO!”The girl who looked exactly like me was disappearing.Her body wasn’t falling.It was breaking apart into tiny pieces of light, like someone had taken a photograph and shattered it into thousands of pieces.I reached for her.My fingers passed through empty air.“Come back!”Her eyes met mine one last time.And then she was gone.The room became completely silent.I couldn’t move.I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t even cry.She had taken a bullet meant for me.A person I had spent my entire life believing was nothing more than a memory had just died in front of me.And somehow, I knew her.Not because she looked like me.Not because she said she was the original Bella.But because something inside me was screaming that she had always been part of me.“Bella.”Ethan’s voice brought me back.His arms wrapped around me.I turned toward him and grabbed his shirt.“She saved me.”“I know.”“She saved me.”“I know.”I buried my face against his chest.He

Bella POVI had been waiting for Bella for twenty years.Twenty years was a long time to be alone.At first, I counted the days.Then I counted the months.Eventually, I stopped counting because time didn’t mean anything inside the memory network.There were no mornings here.No nights.No birthdays.No seasons.There was only silence.And memories.Thousands of them.I had watched people live entire lives through memories that weren’t mine.I had watched children grow up.I had watched mothers hold babies.I had watched people fall in love and then lose each other.I had watched Bella.Over and over again.I knew every version of her.The angry Bella.The frightened Bella.The little girl who used to cry whenever the lights went out.The teenager who learned to hide her fear behind sarcasm.The girl who fell in love with Ethan without understanding why she felt like she had known him forever.But I had never been allowed to meet her.Until now.She was standing in front of me.The gi

Bella’s POVThe first gunshot echoed through the corridor.Ethan pulled me behind him so quickly that I almost fell.“Stay behind me!”James appeared from the opposite hallway and fired toward the armed men.“Move!”Maya grabbed Noah’s arm.“Come on!”Elena was already running.I stood frozen for half a second.Then Ethan grabbed my hand.“Bella!”I ran.We sprinted through the corridor while bullets struck the walls around us.My heart was pounding so hard that I could barely hear anything else.I could feel Ethan’s fingers wrapped tightly around mine.He didn’t let go.Not once.We reached a metal staircase.James pushed open the emergency door.“Up!”We ran.One floor.Then another.Then another.The alarms continued screaming.Suddenly, Noah stopped.“Wait.”Maya turned.“What?”He looked at the wall.“There.”There was a small panel hidden behind a loose section of metal.Noah pulled it open.Inside was a keypad.“What is that?” I asked.“A shutdown system.”My heart jumped.“Can

Bella’s POVI couldn’t look at Ethan.Not because I didn’t trust him.Because I was terrified of what I might remember if I did.The room was completely dark now, except for the tiny red light blinking on the machine between us.Once.Twice.Three times.The same rhythm as Ethan’s old promise.Three squeezes.I’m here.But now the sound made my stomach twist.“What was the last memory?” Ethan asked quietly.I swallowed.“I don’t know.”It was a lie.Somewhere inside my mind, I knew.I could feel it.Like a locked door buried underneath everything I had remembered.And behind that door was something I had deliberately forgotten.Ethan stepped closer.“Bella.”I moved backward.“Don’t.”He stopped immediately.His face fell.“I won’t touch you.”I looked at him.He was trying so hard not to look hurt.That somehow hurt me more.“I need to know the truth,” I whispered.“I know.”“And if the truth is something terrible…”“I’ll stay.”“You don’t know that.”“I do.”“How?”He smiled sadly.

Bella’s POVThe door slammed shut behind us.I spun around and grabbed the handle.It wouldn’t move.“Ethan!”“I know.”He pulled at it harder.Nothing.The red lights above us flashed faster, filling the room with an eerie glow that made everything look like it was covered in blood.Elena was gone.Noah was gone.James and Maya were gone.It was just Ethan and me.And the machine.I turned slowly.The machine was humming louder now.A screen flickered on.Then another.Then another.Hundreds of photographs appeared across the walls.Children.Doctors.Laboratory rooms.Families.And me.So many pictures of me that my stomach turned.“Why are there so many?”Ethan didn’t answer.He was staring at one photograph.I followed his gaze.It showed me at seven years old.I was sitting in a hospital bed.Beside me was the little girl from the photograph.The girl who looked exactly like me.Except she had a small scar beneath her chin.I touched my own chin.I had the same scar.My breathing

Bella’s POVEvery memory hit me at once.I screamed.It felt like my head had been split open, and suddenly I wasn’t standing in the hospital anymore.I was somewhere else.Somewhere colder.Somewhere I had spent years trying to forget.The red room.But this time, I wasn’t eight.I was older.Sixteen.I was standing in front of a glass wall, staring at myself.There were wires attached to my arms.Blood was running down one side of my forehead.And Ethan was standing behind me.Except he wasn’t the Ethan I knew.He looked exactly the same.Same eyes.Same smile.Same stupid little expression he made whenever he was trying to hide that he was scared.“Bella,” he whispered.I turned around.“Are you okay?”“I don’t know.”He reached for me.I grabbed his hand.Three squeezes.I’m here.He squeezed back.Three times.I’m here too.Then the door opened.My father walked inside.Behind him was Dr. Vale.And behind them was my mother.My heart stopped.I watched the memory unfold.My mothe

Bella POVI had just finished arranging the jars of herbs in the small medicine cabinet in my room when my phone suddenly rang on the table beside me.For a moment I simply stared at the screen without moving, because Ethan’s name was flashing across it.My heart immediately started beating faster.

Bella POVAt that exact moment, his phone suddenly rang.The sound broke the heavy silence in the room.Ethan glanced at the screen and immediately answered the call.His voice softened slightly when he spoke.“Hello?”A familiar female voice echoed faintly from the phone speaker.“Ethan,” Clara sa

Bella POVFor a moment, Ethan didn’t move at all. His face was completely blank, and the silence between us stretched so long that my heart started racing again.Then he laughed but it wasn’t a happy laugh, It was short, cold, and full of disbelief.“You’re pregnant?” he repeated.I nodded quickly.
The Luna He Didn’t Choose Chapter 1
Bella POVI still remember the moment I found out I was pregnant, because everything around me suddenly felt strange.The hospital room was quiet and cold, and I sat nervously on the small examination bed while the doctor looked over my test results.After a short moment, he looked up and said simp
