The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 153
THIRD POVAnton remained seated for several long seconds after the dragging sound stopped, his body rigid, his eyes fixed on the hallway as if staring hard enough would force whatever was there to reveal itself.Nothing moved. Nothing stepped forward. Nothing explained itself.His pulse thudded steadily in his ears. It happened again. A faint movement.Somewhere deeper inside the house.That was enough.He stood up slowly this time, not bothering to convince himself it was imagination anymore. His movements were controlled, slow, careful. If someone was inside the house, he did not want to announce panic.He walked toward the hallway and each step he took felt louder than it should have.The kitchen was first.He flicked on the light.The sudden brightness made him blink, but the room looked exactly as it did before. The chairs were pushed in. The sink was empty. The counters were clear. The back door remained closed.He stepped forward and tested the handle.Locked.He crouched sligh
The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 152
THIRD POVAnton’s forehead creased deeply as he remained seated on the couch, listening.The sound had been faint at first. Subtle. Almost dismissible.But it had been there.And it had not sounded like the ordinary settling of wood or the quiet hum of appliances.It had sounded… like moving in the house.A shift.A movement.He sat still, every muscle alert now, eyes fixed on the hallway that led toward the staircase.The house had gone quiet again.Too quiet.He strained his ears, waiting for the sound to repeat.Nothing.His jaw tightened slightly.Maybe it had been Kira.The thought surfaced quickly, logically.She was injured. She could have woken up disoriented. She might have tried to get up and failed. She might have dropped something.Or maybe she had tried calling his name and he had not heard clearly.That made sense.That was reasonable.He stood up slowly, careful not to make unnecessary noise.“If you need something, I am coming,” he called out toward the staircase, his
The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 151
THIRD POVThe air in the living room had grown heavy by the time Anton finally stopped talking.His voice, which had carried frustration and intensity for so long, had begun to thin with exhaustion. The weight of everything he had poured out lingered between them.Kira looked drained.Not just emotionally.Physically.Her eyelids were drooping despite her attempts to keep them open. The medication she had taken earlier was beginning to settle fully into her system, softening the edges of her awareness.Anton noticed.“You are falling asleep,” he said quietly.“I am not,” she murmured automatically, though her voice lacked conviction.He gave her a faint, tired look.“You just blinked for nearly ten seconds,” Anton said, his lips curling into a faint smile.She attempted a weak smile. “I am listening,” she said with a tired sigh.“I know you are,” he replied gently. “But you need rest.”She shifted slightly and winced despite trying to hide it.His jaw tightened.“Erica said you need
The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 150
KIRA'S POV The glow did not disappear immediately.It pulsed.Soft at first, like a trick of the light. Like maybe the overhead bulb had flickered and reflected strangely against his irises. That was what I told myself in the first second.Then it happened again.Stronger.A brief flash beneath his pupils, almost like something electric had sparked behind his eyes and then retreated.My breath stalled in my chest.He was still talking.Still pacing.Still venting.Completely unaware.“And it is not just about forgetting names,” he was saying, his voice tight with frustration. “It is about forgetting reactions. Instincts. I do not know what I used to fear. I do not know what used to make me happy. I feel like I am performing a version of a man I do not even recognize.”His eyes flashed again.This time there was no mistaking it.A quick shimmer of light beneath the surface.I stared at him, my mouth parting slightly without permission.Was I imagining it?The pain in my ribs throbbed
The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 149
KIRA'S POV He did not answer my question immediately.Instead, he just looked at me.Not defensively. Not angrily.Just… searching.As though he was trying to locate the exact moment in his own mind where hope had begun to slip through his fingers.The room felt still around us. The faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen seemed louder again. The clock on the wall ticked steadily, indifferent to the heaviness sitting between us.“When did I decide?” he repeated quietly, almost to himself.“Yes,” I said gently. “When did you decide that it has already been too long?”He leaned back slightly in the chair, his fingers dragging down his face in frustration.“I do not know,” he admitted. “Maybe it was not one moment. Maybe it was gradual.”“That is usually how doubt works,” I said softly.He let out a breath that almost sounded like a laugh, but it carried no humor. “You make it sound simple.”“It is simple,” I replied. “Not easy. But simple.”His eyes lifted to mine again. “You are
The Moon's Chosen CHAPTER 148
KIRA'S POV The silence after Erica left did not feel as sharp as I expected it to.I tried to adjust myself on the couch, but the moment I attempted to push up with my arms, a sharp ache shot through my ribs and I hissed under my breath.Anton’s expression changed instantly.“What is it?” he asked, stepping closer.“Nothing,” I said automatically, even though my face must have betrayed me.He raised an eyebrow. “That did not look like nothing.”“It is just sore,” I admitted reluctantly. “Everything is sore.”He studied me for a moment, then glanced toward the kitchen.“Do you need water?” he asked.I hesitated.Normally I would have said no out of pride alone.But my throat felt dry, and the idea of trying to stand up and walk there myself seemed… exhausting.“Yes,” I finally said quietly.He nodded once and disappeared into the kitchen.I sank back into the couch cushions, feeling a strange mix of irritation and gratitude twist in my chest.I hated this.Hated that I could not even
