All Chapters of Reborn for vengeance: From ashes to Luna : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

ADIRA'S POVI dressed up and left the house. “Meet me at our rendezvous point,” I mindlinked my group as I made my way out.I knew I had to take immediate action because that dream was an unusual one. And it felt too real to just be considered a dream. Something was going to happen, and I would be lucky if I could block it before it did.I moved quickly, and by the time I got there, they were all already waiting.“Luna, is everything okay?” Rose asked.“I wasn't expecting to get such an urgent mindlink from you this morning. It's been quite peaceful in the pack. Did something happen that we are yet to be aware of?” Lyra asked.Roland asked no questions. He just watched keenly and waited.“Something feels off. I can't pinpoint what it is, but it feels like something is about to happen soon.” I swallowed heavily. “I had a weird dream this morning and…” my teeth clenched and I closed my eyes momentarily. “The dream, which I am not ready to talk about, felt too real and it wasn't a good o

ADIRA'S POV The visit to my parents was a nice time. Ryder finally got to apologise to my parents, not with rehearsed words or Alpha pride, but with quiet sincerity. And we all just had a good time. By the time we were ready to leave, we carried more than bags and leftover food. We carried knowledge. Fragments of truth about the masquerades, pieces that did not quite fit yet but felt heavy in my chest all the same. There had been too much activity, too many interruptions, and too much warmth to sit down and dissect what we had learnt. We agreed to talk once we returned home.“Has she fallen asleep?” Ryder asked, glancing quickly at the back and looking straight ahead immediately.I twisted slightly back and noticed that Lumina’s head had slumped to the side, her lashes resting softly against her cheeks, her small hands still clutching the toy my mother had insisted she take. “Out like light. All that running around must have exhausted her.” I chuckled.“She is the reason we are retu

ADIRA'S POV As I walked away, I tried not to think about them or what they could be doing. I dropped Lumina off at school and went straight to the library to do some research. If there was one thing I was certain about, it was the fact that the dream I had some days back had been an indication of the sudden turmoil I have now been thrown into. And one thing Mum said that made a lot of sense was that clearly the masquerades wanted Lumina dead. It was something I already knew also. But the question is why?Mum and Dad had given us major reasons why the masquerades often killed people, but none of them made any sense when in Lumina's situation. So now I was left to find other reasons why they could be after Lumina’s life. “Could the masquerades be the ones that killed us in our past life?” My wolf asked.“I doubt that.” I replied as I rummaged through the shelves looking for the books Dad had recommended. “Nothing about our death in the past life follows the modus operandi of the Mas

ADIRA'S POV“Oh my god,” I whispered, the book slipping from my numb fingers and hitting the table with a dull thud. But even then, my hands did not leave the pages.There, sketched in fading charcoal, was a symbol. A crescent moon entwined with a jagged blade.Underneath the sketch, the text read:“The Masquerade does not hunt the soul for the sins of the present but for the debt of the Origin. They are the Hounds of the First Gate, sent only when a soul that was meant to be extinguished for the safety of the world continues to flicker,” I read.I paused and read it again. My hands began to shake. I leaned closer, my eyes devouring the words as a cold sweat broke out across my neck.“Could Ryder or I be the problem, or could it be our origin?” I thought to myself.“They do not seek the death of the innocent; they seek the reclamation of a life that will become a problem to the land. To find the reason for their pursuit, one must not look at what the victim has done but what the victi

RYDER’S POVMorning came without warmth. As I opened my eyes, I released a deep sigh. The sun rose as it always did, the light peeking in through the windows. Usually, that would make me rise happily, but today it did nothing to chase away the heaviness settled in my chest.I turned my head slightly, already knowing what I would find. Adira’s side was cold, as it had been the past few days. It was not until now that I understood the loneliness of sleeping alone. The absence pressed deeper than it should have.I sat up slowly, rubbing a hand down my face. The bond between us felt distant, and I knew that this was all my fault. I missed Lumina too. I had not been able to play with her since Scarlet appeared.By the time I dressed and made my way out of my room, the scent of breakfast lingered in the air. Surprised, I quickly made my way to the kitchen. As I entered the dining room, I found Lumina already seated, swinging her legs beneath the chair, humming to herself as she poked at a b
