All Chapters of The chosen luna: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

CHAPTER 152Father’s Day“Today is Father’s Day,” John whispered, his nose still bleeding, his eyes darting nervously around the schoolyard.Lydia’s stomach dropped. She stared at him, not understanding at first. “What?”“Everyone’s bringing their dads. There’s games… speeches… food.” John’s voice trailed off. “Don’t you know?”Her throat tightened. She hadn’t known. No one told her. Her hands balled into fists as she looked around. Children clung to their fathers, laughing, playing. Some were lifted high in the air. Others clutched packed lunches made by both parents. But not hers.Her chest ached. Why don’t I have one?The bell rang, cutting through the chatter. Sister Mary clapped her hands for attention. “Children! Into the hall. Today is very special.”They filed inside. Lydia trailed behind, her head low. “It will just pass like every year,” she muttered to herself. Last year she had gone to hide in one of the classrooms. Her mother came for her but it was tagged father's day

Chapter 154The next morning, Selene’s words still replayed in Lydia’s head: He is not your father.She sat at the kitchen table, her chin propped in her hands, staring at her untouched bowl of porridge. Mary chatted softly in the corner, going over the day’s lesson plans, but Lydia barely listened.Her mother’s anger hurt worse than the teasing at school. She had thought Mom would be happy. Instead, she yelled.Why doesn’t she understand?“Eat, Lydia,” Selene said, sliding a plate onto the table. Lydia pouted, pushing the spoon around in circles. She wanted to shout, “He is my daddy, you’re just too scared to admit it.” But she bit her tongue, seeing how hurt she got last night.When Selene turned away, Lydia leaned close to Mary. “Will you walk me to school again today?”Mary glanced at Selene, then nodded. “Of course.”But Lydia had no intention of going straight to school.~~~~~Half an hour later, as they walked down the dusty road lined with pine trees, Lydia slowed her steps,

Chapter 156The next day, early morning before the first cock crow, Selene was up. In her hand was a basket, she tied her hair back, fastening her cloak. “Mary, keep an eye on her. I’ll be back before sunset.”Mary nodded, adjusting her apron. “Don’t worry. She’ll be safe. It’s only the village, and Lydia promised she won’t run off. Right Lydia?”Lydia sat on the stool, her legs swinging nervously. She had promised. After seeing how broken her mother looked, she had sworn to herself she wouldn’t go near the man again. She hated the way her mom’s eyes had filled with tears, and hated that she’d been the cause.So she nodded, smiling faintly. “I’ll be good, Mom.”Selene kissed her forehead, a wide smile on her face. “Don't worry, I'll get you the teddy today.” Lydia waves her bye watching her leave. At first, Lydia tried to keep herself busy. She drew shapes in the dust with a stick, then stacked little stones outside the bar. The village was a small one, surrounded by trees and just

Chapter 158CAIUS'S POV I didn’t stop running until I was far from them. My chest burned, but it wasn’t from the sprint. It was from the look on her face.Selene.Her eyes when she saw me, the shock, recognition, pain, it cut deeper than any blade ever could. And Lydia, sweet Lydia, announcing to the world that I was her father.I pressed my back against the cold stone wall of an abandoned alley, forcing my breath to slow. My hands shook violently. I gripped them into fists.Why did I run?Because if I had taken one more step toward her, I would never have left again. And if I stayed… Darius would find them.I dragged a hand down my face, my nails scraping against my skin. The memory of Selene’s voice whispering my name clawed at me. Six years I had kept my distance, convincing myself it was safer this way. For her and Lydia.But I still couldn't stay far away, every night my feet dragged themselves to her bar watching her from across. Sometimes, I stop by at the bar to watch her for

Chapter 160Selene’s POVThree days passed, and Lydia was always in her room. My wolf told me she might be up to something but I shoved it off.Probably she just needs time alone since I told her to stay away from Caius. I stopped by the milk shop. Picked two cans and dropped the money on the counter. “Heard your daughter found a father.” Mrs. Johnson smiled.I smiled back, “You know kids and their crazy antics once they need something.” Mrs. Johnson nodded. “I've watched you Selene, I don't know what happened to your husband. But that kid really needs a father.”“Thank you Mrs. Johnson.” I bidded farewell.Neither Mary nor I used a cell phone, the last time we had one. We had to leave the place to go to this village. I don't know how, but Darius tracked it and found out the location. I opened the door and walked in, Mary approached me. “Don't you find it strange? Lydia is always in her room.”I shrugged. “She's always been like that since she was little.”“The last time we spo
