All Chapters of Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 1: The Forgotten Dinner LUMINA The grandfather clock that was in the dining room struck seven. Ollie sat at the table, his small fingers busy with tracing the patterns on the tablecloth as he stared at the empty chair across from him. His father's chair. Again. "Is Daddy coming home for dinner?" he asked, his voice sounding so pained that it nearly broke me. I forced a smile on my face, it was a smile that I had perfected after five years of being married to Xenois Blackwood—Alpha King of the Silver Creek Pack, CEO of Blackwood Enterprises, and the city's most beloved mayor. Also known as my mate. The man who had been absent for most of our son's life. "He texted that he's running late, sweetheart. Let's start without him." Ollie's shoulders slumped down in disappointment, but he nodded his head, used to the fact that this has become a normal occurrence for him. I placed his plate in front of him, it was a dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, which happened to be his

Chapter 3LUMINA"Mommy, will Daddy really come to my birthday?"Ollie's hopeful eyes broke my heart as I helped him wear his coat.It was another doctor's appointment, which meant another day of tests and worried looks from medical professionals who couldn't find out what was draining the life from my son."He promised, sweetheart," I said, adjusting his scarf as I dusted it down as well. It was very cold for this time of year, and Ollie's condition made him sensitive to temperature changes and a lot weaker too."Like he promised last time?" He stated although it didn't sound like an accusation, only a firm reality that carried disappointment in his tone.I knelt, taking his small hands in mine. "I'm going to make sure he's there. This will be your best birthday ever."His smile, although it was weaker than it used to be, filled his pale face as he looked hopeful. "Can we have chocolate cake with dinosaurs on it?""Absolutely. And ice cream too.""And will Riley be there?" The questi

Chapter 5:Lumina Finally it was the morning of Ollie's birthday.He'd been home from the hospital for five days, and though still weak, he was so excited that he was bouncing up on the wall despite his weak state. He was unable to stay in one place."Is Daddy home?" were his first words when he entered the kitchen, his dinosaur pajamas rumpled from sleep.I looked up from the birthday pancakes I was making—green with chocolate chip "spots" to look like his favorite dinosaur. "He had an early meeting, sweetheart, but he promised to be back for your party this afternoon."The fact I lied to him was making my stomach churn with guilt. Xenois hadn't come home at all last night. His side of the bed remained untouched, his phone going straight to voicemail when I called. But I couldn't bear to start his birthday with disappointment."Can I open one present now?" he asked, as he climbed onto a kitchen stool, his blue eyes- so like his father's -filled with excitement."One small one," I

ONE YEAR AGO Chapter 7: XenoisThe early morning sunlight was pouring into the room, the curtains being light enough for the rays to pass through , casting golden stripes across our bedroom.I stirred, reaching for Luna beside me, but found her side of the bed empty and already cold. It seemed like she had been up for a while.It was strange. Luna was the kind of person who always slept in when she could.The house seemed to be different too.There was a warm scent in the air. It felt richer, warmer. Pancakes? The scent of butter and maple syrup drifted up the stairs, as it woke me up completely from sleep.My wolf moved for a moment inside me, oddly restless. Something felt... off. . I shook the feeling away and headed for the shower.I stood under the cold shower which woke me up completely as I washed myself while my mind went astray thinking of the responsibilities that had been thrust in my hands.Alpha.Mayor. Father.Lover.I had so many roles to fill and not enough of me t

Chapter 9Xenois That was only what she texted to me.It seemed like she didn't care. There was no anger, no disappointment. As if she'd already expected me to fail her again.The text should have relieved me, there was no fight or any guilt trip but instead, it left me feeling uneasy. The Luna I knew would have not given in quite easily. She would have demanded explanations, and made me work for her forgiveness. This quiet acceptance was something that I could not see her doing.*Is everything okay?* I texted back, . This was a rare moment, feeling genuine concern for my mate.The three dots appeared, indicating she was typing, then it disappeared. Appeared again. Disappeared.Finally my phone buzzed with a reply: Everything's fine, Xenois. Take care of your 'something.' We'll manage without you. We always do.Her using my full name felt like I had been punched out of nowhere. Luna hasn't called me "Xenois" since we got mated. The only time she used that full name was when she was
