All Chapters of The Broken Luna Returns: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

(Ryker’s POV) I bolted through the trees, my every sense tuned to the rogues closing in behind us. We slowly entered the denser part of the woods. Out of nowhere, the first rogue lunged from the side. I shifted Selene to one arm and grabbed a jagged piece of tree trunk as I passed it, driving it into the rogue’s ribs until it fell away. I fought our way through them, and every blow pushed us deeper and deeper into the forest. Another rogue came from behind, aiming for Selene, but I caught its jaw with my elbow and kicked it back, but it somehow managed to claw my shoulder. I growled loudly, but I knew that if I’d stop that it will be the end of us. I had to keep moving! I looked at Selene and she was still dazed. I knew I couldn’t expect her to fight right now. She’s lost a lot of strength and can barely keep awake. I ran and ran. Until I stopped at the end of a cliff. I looked down and there was nothing there but the strong waves of the ocean smashing through the rocks. I

(Ivy's POV) The moment the sun rose, we packed what little we had. It would take at least three hours to reach the main road, and with Ryker’s condition, although most of his wounds are healed, but the injury on his right leg hadn’t fully closed yet, so we had no choice but to go on foot. I slowed my pace to match his, though guilt gnawed at me. If I’d been able to help him sooner, maybe he wouldn’t be in this state. “Can I ask you a question?” His voice cut through my thoughts, making me flinch. I glanced at him. “What is it?” “What do you think of me?” I blinked at him. Is he for real? Why is he asking me that? “What do I think of you?” I repeated. “Yeah,” My brows drew together. Of all the questions, why that? With all our interactions, surely he had an idea what I think of him. I thought about it for a moment, deciding if I was gonna be honest with him or just lie and tell him the nice things he probably wants to hear. But I figured it wouldn’t hurt to tell him

(Ivy’s POV) Three days passed since what happened, and things felt strange ever since. Training went on as usual, but I couldn’t focus. While sparring with Celina, my moves were sloppy because my mind was pre-occupied by a lot of things. And by things, I mean Ryker.“You’re distracted again,” she said, blocking my punch easily. “What’s going on with you?”“Nothing,” I muttered quickly, forcing a weak smile. “I’m fine.” I lied. Ryker hadn’t spoken to me since that night. I barely even saw him around anymore, and when I did, he acted like I didn’t exist. He treated me like I was a ghost. I hated how much it bothered me.I know he said he’ll stay away from me, but I didn’t want it to get this far. There are some things I also need to discuss with him, important matters, but I can’t tell him since he’s been avoiding me like a plague.It was frustrating. This was all Ronan’s fault. If he hadn’t scolded Ryker that night, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.After training, Celina a

(Ivy’s POV)The hall was already full of people when we arrived. Rows of chairs lined up in perfect formation, and the tension in the air was unmistakable as people rambled from being called all of a sudden without notice.I spotted Ronan and quickly went to him to ask him what’s going on. “Ronan.” I called.He looked at me, and his face was quickly washed with relief. “There you are.” His eyes darted behind me. “You two, go get ready and take your seats,” he said to Theo and Celina.“What’s happening? Why are they suddenly calling a meeting?” I asked.“It will be discussed later. For now, just take your seat.” He gave me a firm look before walking away.I glanced across the room and saw Ryker seated two seats away from the center, Gabriel soon joined him and sat next to him. And beside Gabriel was a chestnut brown haired guy whom I recall is Timothy, the Delta’s son. He’s tapping his knee agitatedly, like he wanted to be anywhere but here. Everyone important was present, and even

(Ivy’s POV)The pack felt different when I woke up. It was quieter than usual. And just a gut feeling, I don’t think it’s because of a good reason.Before I could even sit up straight, Celina barged into my room with a tray in her hands.
“Eat,” she said, setting it down on the bedside table. “And get ready. We’re leaving in an hour.”I rubbed my eyes, confused. “Leaving? Where are we going?”She turned, her face tense. “We’re regrouping and checking the affected packs. The ones that were attacked by rogues. We need to see if there are survivors… and if we’re lucky, we might get some leads.”I nodded slowly, the heaviness of her words sinking in. When I looked at her again, I noticed her face was scrunched up, worry etched on her face.“You don’t seem okay,” I said softly. “What’s bothering you?”Celina gave a short, humorless laugh before sitting on the edge of my bed. “Is it that obvious?”I pursed my lips, nodding.She walked toward me and sat on the bed as she ran a hand through h
