Semua Bab Alpha’s Regret: The Return Of The Betrayed Luna : Bab 131 - Bab 140

Sophia’s POV“Three days,” I said, smiling. “You’ll begin in three days, Jean. That should give us enough time to prepare the ‘classroom’ and get everything in order.” Jean’s face brightened with a quiet excitement that was refreshing to see. “Three days sounds perfect,” she said, her voice warm and grateful.I nodded approvingly. “Good. And about your stay, there’s a small chamber behind the packhouse, a one-bedroom space, a living room, kitchen and toilet. It’s not inside the main building, but it’s within the compound, close enough for comfort. I think it’ll give you some privacy, and it’ll be easier to get to the children every morning. Does that sound all right?”Her lips curved into a soft smile. “That sounds more than all right. I don’t need much ma'am. Just a place to rest and somewhere quiet to read at night.”I chuckled. “You’ll get both, I promise.”Lexi, who had been standing quietly beside us, spoke up finally. “You’ll love it here, Jean. The children can be a handful, b

Lexi’s POVThe sound of the ringing phone startled me, because it just sliced through a perfectly quiet room. It came faintly at first, a distant hum somewhere beyond the splash of water hitting the tiles. I froze, mid-rinse, blinking the soap from my eyes. The phone kept ringing.“Who on earth is calling this early?” I muttered under my breath, a little irritated, rushing through the last bit of my bath. The water was warm, soothing, but the sound outside had already ruined the calm. I turned off the tap, grabbed a towel, and stepped out, leaving faint wet footprints on the tiled floor as I hurried to my room.By the time I reached the table where my phone lay, the screen was still glowing… “Kayden.” He was someone I knew from my rogue haven. My chest lifted slightly with surprise. It had been weeks since I’d heard from any of them. Too many things had been happening here, the attacks, the kids, the new arrangements for the children, and I had almost forgotten how chaotic things u

Danny’s POVThe gates of the Red Fang Pack looked smaller than I remembered. Maybe it was me, maybe two and a half years away had changed something in how I saw this world. I stood at the entrance for a while, just staring, breathing in the air. It was home. It felt strange to call it that again. But I was glad to be back. I slung my bag over my shoulder and started walking in.Two guards stood by the gatehouse, their eyes following me curiously. One of them squinted, then blinked as recognition dawned.“Danny?” he said uncertainly.I grinned, throwing my arms wide. “In the flesh.”“Danny, Kiran’s brother?”“Still the same one,” I said, though his tone made me pause for half a second. “Why do you sound like I came back from the dead?”The two exchanged a quick look before forcing small smiles. “It’s been a while,” one of them said. “Didn’t expect you back.”“I didn’t expect to be gone this long either,” I admitted. “Academy life is... not for the fainthearted.”They laughed politely

Jax’s POVAfter the first day I met Serena, I found myself returning to that same spot more often than I’d ever admit. I told myself it was just for the air, or maybe the quiet, but deep down, I knew I just wanted to see her again.The garden where she worked always smelled sweet with the beautiful scents of flowers. Birds scattered when I approached, and I’d hear her hum softly before she even noticed me. Sometimes, she’d glance up and give me a cute small, guarded smile. “Back again, already?” she teased one afternoon without looking up.“Maybe,” I replied. “You always have interesting company.”“Company?” she said, finally turning her gaze toward me. “You mean the flowers or the herbs?”I chuckled. “Yeah. They seem more talkative than you.”That earned me a quiet laugh, one that came and went quickly, but it was enough to keep me coming back.Over time, she stopped being distant. I started helping her gather herbs, even though I had no idea what most of them were. She’d correct

Sophia’s POVThere was something different about the house of recent. The walls vibrated but slowly and it pulsed through the floor like a heartbeat.Initially, when I started saying out what I saw in the book, nothing happened, but now every time I touched Clara’s book, the air shifted. The pages glowed faintly in the light, as though they were drinking in the power I hadn’t meant to summon. And whenever Danny was near, his curiosity bright and unguarded and his vulnerability high, the current grew stronger. It thrilled me.The last few days had been a blur. Every time I guided Danny through one of the simple exercises written in Clara’s hand, I felt it, something old, something patient, pushing back through the world. It wanted to breathe again, and I was letting it, but I couldn't stop. That afternoon, the house grew was still. Danny had gone with Manny to work, and the silence felt heavier than usual. My fingers itched for something to do. Reading the same passages again di
