Semua Bab Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Bab 121 - Bab 130

Chapter 121: A Good Morning IndeedXENOISThe morning had started perfectly well, with some sort of clarity that I hadn't felt in months. For the first time since Lumina and Ollie had left, my mind was alert and focused, like a fog had lifted off me that I hadn't even realized was there. I'd woken up energized, ready to take control of my life again and start making the changes that needed to be made, quickly now that I had a chance to make it all right.The meetings with the board representatives from another company who wanted to partner with us because they had ideas of expansion for a project that would benefit everyone had gone better than anyone expected. Thorne had warned them beforehand that I'd been in a terrible mood lately, and I was very prone to anger and harsh decisions that reflected poorly on the pack's leadership. But instead of the angsty Alpha they'd been prepared to face, they'd found me reasonable and easy to work with."The quarter projection revision looks so

Chapter 123: The Perfect CrimeSOPHIAThe satisfaction that was coursing through my veins was giving me a rush of dopamine as I pulled Riley from the passenger seat of my car. Everything was falling into place exactly as I'd planned it, each piece of my well thought out scheme coming together like a perfectly designed puzzle.The sound of approaching vehicles made me turn back looking pleased with what I was seeing.Three black SUVs pulled up at the clearing, their engines rumbling in the quiet forest. I'd been expecting them, of course – Bullet and his team of rogues were nothing if not punctual whenever it came to doing the dirty work for me in order to get paid handsomely. They loved money the most and had no morality.The lead vehicle came to a stop just a few feet from where Riley and I stood, and Bullet himself came out from the driver's seat as he slammed the door shut looking around nodding his head absentmindedly. He was exactly what one would expect from a rogue leader. H

Chapter 125: The SearchXENOISThe drive to the forest felt like it took hours, though I knew it had only been twenty minutes since Riley's terrified call had cut off abruptly.It has been the worst twenty minutes of my life.Twenty minutes of my mind going through every possible scenario, each one worse than the last. Thorne sat in the passenger seat beside me, planning and coordinating with the other vehicles that were behind us.We had gathered a convoy of our pack's best warriors, all were well armed to their teeth and ready for whatever we might find."The GPS shows Sophia's phone signal went dead about three miles into the Blackwood Forest," Thorne said, his voice hoarse from the same tension that I was feeling. He may not have liked Sophia much but he was worried about Riley and has accepted him as my own even before I had, and he had come to care for him the same way he did for Ollie."If they're still there, we should be able to track them by scent once we get close."I pre

Chapter 127: In Critical Condition LUMINA The fluorescent lights in the hospital hallway cast everything in a harsh, sterile glow that made my skin look pale and sickly. I'd been pacing this floor for hours now, my footsteps echoing off the walls in a rhythm that matched the frantic beating of my heart. Every few minutes I'd stop and stare through the small window in the door to Ollie's room, hoping to see some change, some sign that my son was getting better instead of worse.But each time I looked, he appeared smaller and more fragile in that hospital bed, surrounded by machines that beeped and hummed with constant rhythm. The doctors had done everything they could, but they'd been honest about his chances – survival was unlikely given the extent of his injuries.Injuries that made no sense. Injuries that shouldn't have been possible."Lumina, you need to sit down," Lyn said gently, appearing at my side with two cups of coffee from the vending machine down the hall. "You've bee

Chapter 129: The Subtext THORNE Despite the fear that was coursing through my body about Riley's disappearance. I had to keep a cool head. This wasn't the time for me to break down. We finally got to the hospital as we rushed Sophia to the doctor who started treatment on her.I took a step back from the room, trying to gather my thoughts. It's been 8 hours since Riley was missing. Search teams took 6 hours of combing through the woods, trying to find a clue about where the rogues would have come from and how they would have gotten to know where Sophia apparently went with Riley.The doctors' examination of Sophia felt like it was taking forever, but I welcomed every minute of it. It gave me time to think, to analyze critically without any rush from anyone about what had happened in those woods, and the more I thought about it, the less I believed her story. There was a huge gap in her story and it seemed that I was the only one who hated her enough to notice it.I stood in the corne
