Lahat ng Kabanata ng CHASING HIS LUNA BACK: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Aurelia’s Point of ViewThe second Dalton said there’d been an incident, my blood turned cold.But it wasn’t fear for myself that hit me—it was fear for Kael and Sara.“Give me a moment,” I told him, voice sharp and tight. He nodded, stepping inside while I walked quickly to the side where the twins were curled up on the mattress with their coloring books.“Mommy?” Kael looked up, eyes wide, the crayon still clutched in his hand.I knelt beside them, brushing Sara’s curls back gently. “Hey, I need to talk to both of you for a minute.”Sara sat up. “Are we going somewhere again?”

Silas's point of viewThe moment Dalton's words settled in my mind, a cold wave of fury began to crawl up my spine. I barely heard him after he said it. That Alisha had entered Aurelia's room while she was at the hospital. That she was there with the children. That she had the nerve to question their blood.I stood from my desk without a word and walked out of the office. I didn’t care that I had just ended a council meeting. I didn’t care who saw me storming through the hallway. My steps echoed against the stone walls as the anger inside me boiled close to the surface.Alisha was in her room. Of course she was. Dressed in silk and draped over the chaise like she owned the world.She looked up and smiled. "Silas," she said, drawing out my name like it was honey on her tongue, "you didn’t tell me you were comi

Aurelia's point of viewMy fingers trembled slightly as I tied my hair into a bun, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The fabric of the healer’s robe felt heavier than I expected, as if it carried the weight of every decision that had led me here. For a moment, I thought of Kael and Sara, of their innocent eyes looking up at me when I told them I’d be gone for a few hours. "Be good," I’d said. "Mama will be back before you even miss me."This wasn’t just a job. It was survival. Not just for me, but for them.I stepped into the hospital, the scent of herbs, antiseptic, and lavender soap meeting me at the door. It was a place I hadn’t seen in years, and yet everything felt eerily familiar. I followed the faint echoes of footsteps until I saw her—Lara. Her red curls were pulled into a messy ponytail and her lab coat had smudges

Aurelia's point of view Lara closed the door softly behind her. I was sitting by the window, brushing Sara’s curls as she hummed to herself. Kael was curled under the blanket, his little chest rising and falling steadily, color slowly returning to his face each day.“Aurelia,” Lara said, her voice holding something… different.I turned. Her arms were folded, eyes sharp but unreadable. “You’re not going to believe what happened yesterday after you left the test room.”I raised an eyebrow, brushing the last knot from Sara’s hair. “Do tell.”“Silas was there.”I stilled. “What?”“He was at the hospital. Watchi

Aurelia's point of view Sara’s tiny fingers curled tightly around mine as we walked through the west wing’s corridor. Her other hand clutched the small wooden wolf charm Dalton had given her this morning something to “keep her brave,” he’d said.The day had been long and my bones ached, but I didn’t mind. The hospital had been chaos, but it gave me purpose, something to focus on that wasn’t Silas’s heavy gaze or Alisha’s venomous presence.I reached our door and pushed it open, expecting to be greeted by Kael’s sweet voice or at least the warm stillness of our temporary home. Instead, I found him inside.Silas stood near Kael’s bed, his back to the door, one hand resting lightly on the frame. He turned sharply at the sound of my gasp, his eyes meetin
