All Chapters of Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Chapter 411 - Chapter 420

Chapter 412XENOISI stood at the head of the conference table, watching Lumina present our offensive strategy to the assembled pack elders and allied alpha representatives, and felt something close to pride war with exhaustion in my chest.She'd been working on this plan for hours—coordinating with intelligence teams, mapping Jerome's known operations, identifying weak points in his coalition structure. Her tactical mind was sharp, methodical, finding patterns and vulnerabilities that others had missed."The key is simultaneous strikes," Lumina explained, pointing to various markers on the holographic display. "If we hit one location, Jerome pulls resources from others to reinforce. But if we attack everywhere at once, he can't redistribute effectively. His forces become isolated, vulnerable."The pack elders—many of whom had openly opposed progressive reforms just weeks ago—were listening with grudging respect. After yesterday's school attack, after watching non-traditional pack mem

Chapter 414 XENOIS"I had a nightmare," I said slowly. "About three months ago. About your mother dying. About—" I couldn't say it with Ollie sitting right there."About me dying," Ollie finished quietly. "I heard you. That night. You were crying and saying my name over and over."My heart clenched. "You heard that?""I came to check on you," Ollie admitted. "But Mom was already there. She told you it was just a nightmare and held you until you calmed down. Then she saw me in the doorway and put me back to bed. She said you'd had a bad dream and that sometimes even alphas get scared."I pulled Ollie into my lap, holding him tight. "I'm sorry you had to see that.""It's okay," Ollie assured me. "I have nightmares sometimes too. About bad things happening. About people I love getting hurt.""We all do," Lake added quietly. "After the facility, I have nightmares a lot. About being trapped again. About Riley being taken away. About—" he stopped, his young face troubled."About what?" I a

Chapter 416LUMINA"It's not wrong," Janice said. "But it's not what we agreed to. And now, Lumina, I've come to collect my payment."Terror shot through me. "What payment? What do you want?""I'm not going to tell you that," Janice said, and her smile was absolutely chilling. "Not yet. I just wanted you to know that I'm watching. That I remember our agreement even if you chose to ignore it. And that when the time comes—when this final battle with Jerome concludes—I will collect what I'm owed.""Please," I begged. "Tell me what you want. Let me prepare. Let me—""No," Janice interrupted. "You don't get to prepare. You don't get to plan around this or find some clever way to avoid payment. That's not how debts work in my world."She moved closer until we were nearly touching, and I could feel cold radiating from her form. "But I will tell you this much—the payment will be proportional to what you received. I gave you time, knowledge, and the power to change fates. What I take will be e

Chapter 418 LUMINA"She's a necromancer," I said. "But not the kind from stories. She exists in spaces between life and death, time and causality. If she has the power to send me back once, she probably has the power to undo everything I've changed."We sat in silence for a long moment, both processing the magnitude of what I'd just revealed."So we have a limited amount of time," Xenois said finally. "Until Jerome is defeated and Janice comes to collect her debt. After that—" he couldn't finish the sentence."After that, I pay whatever price she demands," I said quietly. "And we hope it doesn't destroy what we've built.""What if the price is your life?" Xenois asked, his voice raw. "What if she wants you to die, to balance the cosmic scales or whatever necromancers believe in?""Then I die," I said simply. "Xenois, I've already died once. In that other timeline, cursing you with my last breath. If dying again is the price for saving Ollie, for giving you back your autonomy, for bri

Chapter 420XENOISIt wasn't a question. She could feel it through our bond—the terror I was barely keeping contained beneath the surface."I might lose you," I admitted, my forehead pressing against hers. "After everything—after getting you back from that other timeline, after building this family, after finally understanding what matters—I might lose you to some cosmic debt I can't fight or negotiate with.""You might," Lumina agreed softly. Too softly. Like she'd already accepted it as inevitable."And you want me to just accept that," I said, unable to keep the accusation from my voice. "Want me to nod and smile and pretend it's fine that some necromancer is coming to take you away.""I want you to make good use of whatever time we have," Lumina corrected. She pushed away from the wall, guiding me backward until my legs hit the bed. "I want us to live fully in every moment instead of spending it paralyzed by fear of what might happen."She straddled my lap as I sat on the edge of
