Semua Bab Luna Lyra: Bab 31 - Bab 40

The stone steps of the dungeon felt colder than usual, the chill creeping through my boots as we descended into the depths of the keep. Lyra walked beside me, her face set with determination, but I could see the tension in her jaw and the tightness around her eyes that suggested something deeper.I didn’t know what to expect when we saw the prisoner, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were walking into something far more complicated than either of us realized. The prisoner had been quiet ever since he was brought here, his fate uncertain. We reached the steel door of the holding cells, and the guard standing outside nodded to us as he unlocked the gate. The flickering torchlight cast long shadows on the walls, illuminating the grim stone floor and the narrow, damp hallway. I glanced at Lyra, but she was already stepping forward, her steps measured.Inside the cell, the prisoner sat against the cold wall, his arms chained to a rusted iron ring bolted into the stone. He looked mo

“What? Your half-brother?” Luke asked.I nodded slowly and whispered, “Yes.”“But, how come he doesn’t know you? And why will he come here to kidnap your son? Why…” Luke’s face hardened, and I saw the realization hit him just as it had struck me. He leaned back, his eyes narrowed as he processed the information. "Wait. He doesn’t know you are related?”I shook my head, feeling utterly lost. "No, he doesn’t know. It seems my father hid him from everyone. That’s why I didn’t recognize him the first time he was brought in here.”“So, how did you know he is your half-sibling?”I exhaled loudly. “I’m not 100% sure, but …”“Lyra.” Luke looked straight at me. “What do you mean?”I leaned into the chair and started my story. “Some years ago, my mother found out that my father was cheating on her. When she tried to confront him, he told her that since she couldn’t give him a male child, he was going to get it outside. According to my mom, she noticed that there was a time he was spending more

I noticed that the Luna was there as well. She must have missed her husband a lot. However, Jaxon likes her to stay in the office during some of our meetings. Her wise counsel has helped us on many occasions. I nodded to her in greeting, then turned to my alpha.“Jaxon, you are back,” I greeted him.“Yes, Luke. I trust there was no problem while we were away.”I shook my head, and he nodded. “Good. I have a task for you, but we’ll talk later.”After saying that, the Alpha’s piercing blue eyes locked onto Lyra. “Welcome back, Alpha Jaxon,” Lyra greeted him in a low voice.“Lyra, how are you and the baby?”“We are good, alpha.”His presence was commanding, as always, but his tone was unexpectedly warm. “Lyra,” he began. “You’ll be returning to Axelland soon.”His words hit Lyra like a punch to the gut. She froze, her breath catching audibly. Then the tears came, streaming down her face as sobs wracked her body. “No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “No, I can’t go back. Please, don’t

I smiled to myself, closing my eyes and letting Uru’s words wash over me. For the first time in months, I felt at peace. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, and the room was warm and inviting. My thoughts drifted to the future, to the life I was about to reclaim. I pictured Damien holding our son for the first time, his eyes softening in a way I’d only seen a handful of times before. I imagined him smiling at me, not with duty, but with genuine affection and pride.“We’ll get there,” I whispered, more to myself than to Uru. “One step at a time.”Sleep pulled at me, and I didn’t resist. Later in the night, I have a chaotic dream about meeting Damien. First, he was happy to see us. He was smiling broadly as he came close to me. Then his face turned gloomy, and he frowned while looking at me as if he was not happy to see me. What could this dream mean?****JaxonThe room was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the crackling fireplace. I leaned over the large oak table

The door opened to reveal a younger version of me, a female version of me.“Denise!” I shouted standing up.She looked up at me, her face lighting up with a smile. “Damien!”She came inside, looking every bit the part of a confident, accomplished woman. Her auburn hair was tied back in a neat bun, and her tailored coat gave her an air of sophistication.I walked close to her and pulled her into a tight hug, lifting her off the ground for a moment. She laughed, the sound warm and familiar.“It’s so good to see you,” I said, stepping back to look at her. “You look amazing. The human world has been good to you.”She grinned. “And you look… the same. Still brooding and intense, I see.”I chuckled, shaking my head. “You haven’t changed a bit. Come seat. There’s so much to catch up on.”“Welcome Denise,” Rowan greeted her, also standing.“Hey Rowan,” she answered.I rang the bell and one of the Omega came. I told them to prepare some delicious food for my sister and to help her settle in he
