Semua Bab Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter 31: Arranging A PlayDateXENOISThe sound of my phone buzzing against the kitchen counter pulled me from my thoughts as I watched Ollie pick at his breakfast. He didn't seem happy at all. Even when he had been given a day off to rest from school.He'd been quieter than usual since yesterday's incident at the hospital, and the bandage wrapped around his small hand served as a constant reminder that I had failed to protect him.I took a look at the caller ID and felt my chest tighten with something that I couldn't explain.It was Sophia."Hello?" I answered, stepping away from the dining table so that Ollie wouldn't overhear the conversation."Xenois, hi. I hope I'm not calling too early." Her voice was low, and hesitant , a lot different from the confident woman I'd known years ago."It's fine. Is everything okay? How's Riley?" I asked, worried about him. Has he gotten better since yesterday's incident.There was a pause before she responded slowly. "That's actually why I'm ca

Chapter 33: A Desperate PlanLUMINAThe moment I left Xenois alone and went back to our shared bedroom while he went to his house study to handle whatever work crisis he had to deal with, I pulled out my phone with shaking hands. There was only one person who might be able to help me, and calling her meant risking everything that I had – not just my marriage, but also my life.Wolves and witches had been enemies for centuries. The old treaties were clear: any wolf caught making deals with witches or warlocks would be stripped of their pack status and exiled. And in some cases, killed.But desperate times called for desperate measures, and I was running out of options.I scrolled through my contacts until I found the number I'd kept hidden for years, listed under an fake name that wouldn't raise suspicions if anyone ever looked through my phone.Carol answered on the second ring, her voice sounding familiar despite the fact that years had passed since we'd last spoken."Lumina? Oh my

Chapter 35: Reluctant PawnRILEYI was sitting on my bed, locked in my bedroom by my Mama as I was on time out. I was trying to read one of the few books Mama had gotten me from the library, when I heard her footsteps in the hallway. They were different today, it sounded like she was heading somewhere quickly. That usually meant she had plans, and her plans usually meant trouble for me if I failed to live up to her expectations.The lock clicked, and she pushed open my bedroom door without knocking. She never knocked anymore before she entered."Get up, Riley. We're going out."I closed the book carefully, marking where I had stopped for the time being with a piece of paper I'd torn from a notebook. "Where are we going?" I asked carefully, as I was a bit confused. School didn't start till next week for me and it was a weekend."To see Alpha Xenois and his son. Remember what I told you about them? About how they're going to be our new family? How you are going to replace Ollie as his

Chapter 37: The Tense First Meeting LUMINAThe doorbell rang at exactly two o'clock, and I felt my stomach twist with nausea that I was barely able to keep from throwing up on the floor. Despite the fact that I was aware and resigned that they were coming, and the fact that I had fortified Ollie to the best of my capabilities under this circumstances, I still wasn't ready for them to meet each other.If only taking my child and running away from the pack was easy,but due to how we got married to each other, Silvia and Samuel had included it in the contract and also the bond that I can't leave the city alone or with anyone unless I have an explicit permission from my mate Xenois. Which meant I was stuck in this city and I was a sitting duck.Through the living room window, I could see Sophia standing on our front porch with Riley beside her, both of them looking like they belonged here.Xenois was already moving toward the door, his face lighting up with a smile that made my heart ach

Chapter 39: Burning RageSOPHIAThe ride to the hospital was filled with a blur of Xenois's apologetic murmurs and my own fury that I barely managed to contain. My left hand was hurting me with each heartbeat, my burned hand screaming in protest whenever the car hit a minor bump on the road. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the rage burning in my chest.That bitch had actually burned me, what audacity. She'd grabbed my hand and pressed it against that stove like I was nothing more than a disobedient child in need of punishment. The humiliation was almost worse than the pain."I'm so sorry, Sophia," Xenois said for what felt like the hundredth time, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel. "I don't know what's gotten into Lumina lately. She's been... different. Paranoid. But I never thought she'd actually hurt someone."I bit back the urge to tell him that his precious wife had been "different" long before today, that she was someone who was desperate enough t
