All Chapters of Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41: The Accusations XENOISThe drive home felt like the longest twenty minutes of my life. My hands were gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles had gone white, and I could feel my wolf pacing beneath my skin, it was also agitated by the numerous emotions that were going through me.What I had witnessed in my own kitchen kept replaying in my mind. Lumina's face, filled with rage as she pressed Sophia's hand against the burning stove. I could smell the scorched hand and I could still hear Sophia's screams of pain and terror. The way my mate had looked at me afterward – not with shame or regret, but satisfied about what she had done.There had to be an explanation somewhere. There had to be some reason why the woman I'd married, the mother of my child, had committed such an act towards Sophia. Lumina wasn't cruel. She was gentle, caring, protective of those she loved. The woman I'd seen in that kitchen couldn't be the mother of our kid who sang lullabies to O

Chapter 43: An Unexpected AllySOPHIAI was sitting in my living room bored out of my mind. My day had been ruined by that Lumina as I did intend on spending some time with her mate, but due to the situation, I was back home, nursing a glass of wine and admiring the professional bandaging on my burned hand, when my phone rang pulling me out of my thoughts.I immediately reached for it, thinking that it is Xenois who was calling to check up on me as usual. But the caller ID made me pause – it was Silvia Blackwood instead. Xenois's mother hadn't spoken to me since I'd left Silver Creek all those years ago, and I certainly hadn't expected to hear from her now.I let it ring twice more, composing myself before answering with surprise present in my voice."Mrs. Blackwood? This is unexpected.""Sophia, darling." Her voice was exactly as I remembered it, sounding cultured and confident in a way that showed that she was definitely used to getting what she wanted from people. "I hope you don

Chapter 45: The Matriarch's SchemeSILVIAI set my phone down on the mahogany desk in my study, a satisfied smile could be found present on my face. That conversation had gone even better than I'd hoped. Sophia had sounded grateful and just vulnerable enough to make her sympathetic without seeming weak to anyone else. Perfect."That was quite the performance, Silvia." My husband spoke startling me a bit as I hadn't heard him, walk inside the study.I turned to find my husband Samuel who was standing in the doorway, his arms crossed and his expression was furrowed. He has a disapproving look on his face. How long has he been listening? Long enough, judging by the way he was looking at me and the way he sounded."I don't know what you mean," I said smoothly, moving to pour myself a brandy from the wine glass that was located on the bar table as I added with a nonchalant shrug of my shoulders. "I was simply extending an invitation to an old family friend.""An old family friend who ju

Chapter 47: Family Obligations XENOISThe next morning came with a gray sky that matched my mood perfectly, because I wasn't feeling great at all.I'd barely slept, tossing and turning in our bed all night long while Lumina remained in the guest room and I couldn't hear anything from that room. Every time I'd close my eyes and try to rest, I would see flashes of yesterday's chaos – Sophia's screams, the smell of burning flesh, Lumina's face that was filled with rage and satisfaction.I found myself in the kitchen earlier than usual, making coffee monotonously while my mind was going through everything that had happened. The familiar routine of grinding beans and measuring water should have been soothing to me and calm me down but instead it only reminded me of where Lumina had attacked Sophia just twenty-four hours ago."Daddy?" Ollie's small voice broke through my thoughts as I raised my head up surprised to see him there. It was barely 7am and he was already up and I didn't hear

Chapter 49: Family Reunion LUMINA The drive to Xenois's parents' penthouse felt a little less than a joyride and more like traveling to my own execution. I sat in the passenger seat, watching the familiar streets of Silver Creek pass me by in a blur, while my stomach was filled with a mixture of dread at the upcoming visit and also resignation because there was nothing that I could do about it.In the backseat, Ollie was very quiet, his tablet forgotten in his lap as he stared out the window with the same worried expression I felt that was present on my own face.Xenois hadn't spoken much during the twenty-minute drive, his hands gripping the steering wheel with a lot of unnecessary force. The tension between us from this morning's conversation still lingered and it was only made worse by the phone call from Sophia that he'd tried to hide from me. But he had no luck there. I knew he'd wanted to go to her, to comfort her and check on her injuries. The fact that he'd chosen to stay
