All Chapters of Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12Lumina (Luna)I wanted to check who it was. Because I wasn't expecting Xenois but Ollie was faster than me and I could barely grab onto him from running towards the sound of the door."Daddy?" Ollie called out, already running toward the hallway.I followed behind slowly, feeling dread as well as anger. What was he doing home? More importantly, why was he here instead of with Sophia and Riley?Xenois stood in the entryway, looking a bit hesitant like he had been caught doing something wrong. When Ollie threw himself at his father's legs, I saw something flash across his face. It looked a lot like guilt but it was gone as quickly as it appeared."Hey, buddy," he said, his voice sounding cheerful like it was forced. It was odd. Did something happen? "What have you been up to today?""I made an art project!" Ollie yelled excitedly waving his hand around as he turned back to check if I was there before tugging at his hand. "Mom said you wouldn't be home, but you are! Come see

Chapter 14Lumina(Luna)I joined them at the counter, sipping my own coffee as I watched them talking to each other both animated in the conversation that they were engrossed in. It was moments like these, especially how rare they were—that had kept me hoping in my previous life. But I know better now. These moments were small, soon to be covered completely by broken promises and empty chairs at dinner tables."Ollie, finish up," I said, checking the time. "We need to get you dressed for school.""About that," Xenois said, setting down his coffee cup as he looked at me. "I thought I might take Ollie to school today."I raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised by this offer. "You have time for that?""I moved some meetings around," he said, not quite meeting my eyes, "I thought it would be nice to spend some time with him."I glanced at Ollie, who was looking between us with a slight frown on his face, clearly taken back at his father's words. Even at five, he was observant enough to se

Chapter 16Lumina"We've enrolled him at Silver Creek Elementary," Sophia replied smoothly. "A fresh start, away from the... previous pack."I nodded, understanding the subtext she was saying. Sophia was the mate of the former Alpha who died..and especially with them trying to find a replacement, Riley as the son of the Alpha would have faced challenges from other stronger wolves, especially if his own wolf was as gentle as he appeared."Ollie goes there as well," I said, directing my words to Riley. "Perhaps you'll be in the same class."The boy's face lit up before he glanced at his mum who was glaring at him before he said slowly. "Really? That would be awesome!""Riley, why don't you pick out some fruit for our breakfast tomorrow?" Sophia suggested, her tone making it clear this wasn't really a request. "Stay where I can see you."As Riley nodded his head and waved at me before moving away, Sophia turned to me, her facade dropping slightly. "How domestic of you, doing the grocer

Chapter 18Lumina "You want me to sit quietly while my husband has an affair? To smile and nod while he plays happy family with another woman? To pretend everything is fine while I'm relegated to the role of a convenient wife? The house trophy? Is that what I am being reduced to?""You're being dramatic—""I'm being honest!" I shot back yelling at her for the first time in my life. "For once in my life, I'm being completely honest about what you're asking of me. And you know what? I'd rather divorce him. Let him have his happily ever after with Sophia. Let them be together without hiding. At least have the decency to tell everyone he cheated but he did it for love."The slap came so fast I barely saw it coming. Silvia slapped me so hard that it echoed through the study. "Divorce is not an option," she hissed, her face twisted with fury as she pointed at me as she spat out the next words."You will not disgrace this family with your selfishness.""Silvia!" Samuel moved quickly, step

Chapter 20SophiaThe phone buzzed again as I reached for it on the table and checked who was calling.It was Xenois. Perfect timing.I took a deep breath, composing myself before answering. This was my chance to turn today's meeting with Lumina to my advantage."Hello, Xenois," I said, sounding sad and disappointed about my day."Sophia, how are you? I wanted to check in on you and Riley. How was your day?"His voice sounded warm and concerned towards me and I felt a familiar ache in my chest. This was the Xenois I remembered from years ago, the one who used to care about my well-being above everything else."It was... difficult," I said as I sat down on the couch nearby and allowed exhaustion to color my next words. "I took Riley to the grocery store to pick up some things for dinner, and we ran into your wife."There was silence on the other end of the call before he spoke. "Lumina was at the store?""Yes, with Ollie. And Xenois..." I trailed off, as if I was trying to choose my
