All Chapters of Reborn for vengeance: From ashes to Luna : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

ADIRA'S POVI stirred and opened my eyes. The curtains were still, and there was no light entering from the window. I had slept until it was dark. I breathed out heavily when I noticed it was already night.My mind was numb, clear, and still. No thoughts were running through it. I just lay there quietly.“Hey, you are up.” Ryder's voice came from the door.I turned to see him peering in through the doorway. “You must be feeling very hungry. I prepared something light for your stomach.”I nodded. “Okay, give me a minute. I will be out.”He hesitated. “I will just wait here, or maybe I can come help you?” he asked, more like said.“No, really, I am good. You don't need to wait. I will be out in a minute.”He watched me carefully for a moment before he nodded and turned away. The door closed with a soft thud, and I breathed out heavily.I closed my eyes and relaxed for a few more minutes. My muscles still ached, and I felt no strength in my bones. Eventually, I got up and made my way out

ADIRA'S POVFollowing my decision that morning, I left the office and made my way to the elders' wing. I had slipped out of the office before Ryder would notice.Sincerely, I was glad that he had been trying to find answers to the masquerade issue even though he did not tell me about it. It helped me see that I was not the only one trying to protect our future. But we still had to have a talk about keeping secrets.My wolf snorted.“Shut up, wolf. I am only keeping secrets because it is not something I can tell,” I hissed at my wolf.Grandpa Alan was already awake, seated by the window with a cup of tea in his hands.“Tea? At this time?” I thought to myself.The sun was already high in the sky even though it was still a little chilly. He looked peaceful and content. The sight made something ugly twist in my chest. The fact that he sat here peacefully, living his life like he had not destroyed mine, raised my anger.I clenched my fists, my jaw clamping tight as my steps increased.“Adi

RYDER'S POVMy anger found no place to settle. I was beyond furious, and so was my wolf. If it were not for Adira and the fact that the person involved was Grandpa Alan, he would have been six feet under.The door to the house slammed shut behind us, the sound echoing through the walls. I did not remember letting go of Adira’s hand, only that she was suddenly standing a few steps away.I paced the room, my mind replaying everything that had just happened. I wanted to scream, to shout at the top of my lungs, but I did not know how to express myself that way. I struck the table with my fist. The wood cracked slightly under the force, the sound sharp in the quiet house, yet it did nothing to ease the pressure inside me.Grandfather Alan’s voice still rang in my ears. Scarlet’s carefully chosen silence. She knew, and yet she came to me, lied to me, and sabotaged everything I could have built with Adira. Yet again she returned, now to complete what she started even when she knew the truth.

RYDER'S POV“You think everyone is under your command or something?” Jackson snapped, his grip on the sofa tightening. “You think you can just walk into the alpha’s office without knocking and getting permission?”Her eyes immediately went to Jackson, then to me. “I did not think I needed to do that,” she replied. Folding her arms on her chest, she spoke again. “You are not the alpha, so why are you angry?” she hissed.Jackson’s jaw clenched. “If this was your alpha's office at your pack, would you barge in like that? No, definitely not. You are doing that because Alpha Ryder has not locked you up for daring it.”“Exactly,” she smirked. “You have answered the question yourself. Alpha Ryder is my friend – well, more than that actually. So I am permitted to treat him differently from how I would treat my alpha. Did that sink in?” she asked, a small annoying look playing on her lips.I gritted my teeth in anger. This was all because I was trying not to jeopardise what Adira was working t

ADIRA'S POVI stirred, and a soft groan immediately escaped my lips.“Luna!” Rose and Lyra yelled and ran to me.I squinted and closed my eyes. Their loud voices were too much for my aching head. I groaned again. My body ached all over. I felt like I had fallen from a very high place and all my bones shattered.I had never experienced that, but I thought the pain I felt would be very close to that.“Luna, are you okay?” Lyra asked softly.I tried to speak, but my throat felt too dry, too parched. My throat refused to open up, almost like it was glued tightly. Trying to open it felt too painful.“Water…” I mindlinked Lyra, as I remembered there was another way to communicate.“Ohh, okay.” She rushed up, filled a glass of water, and brought it to my lips. Rose held my head up, and Lyra placed the cup to my lips for me to drink.The water felt like so much relief even though swallowing was tough the first few times. But it soon felt better. As I pulled away, Rose laid me back down, and L
