Semua Bab Reborn for vengeance: From ashes to Luna : Bab 21 - Bab 30

ADIRA'S POVAfter Ryder raised an alarm, warriors trooped out and scattered around. The pack was in total disarray and chaos.Ryder was discussing something with Jackson and Owen, but I couldn't stand still. I couldn't wait… I had to find her.I had to find my baby.I moved without thinking, my feet pushing me fast. My mind was in a haze as I rushed into the forest. I had only one thing in mind… I have to find Lumina.Warriors were scattered around, all looking for Lumina. I joined the search, frantically searching everything as I moved the tall grasses and bushes with my bare hands.The sharp ends of the grass splintered my palms, but I felt no pain.“Adira, let's change…” my wolf urged me, but I wasn't listening.“We will be faster and more effective in wolf form. We can easily sniff her out and trace her,” she pressed.“I will find her; she might be somewhere in these tall bushes, and I need my hands to find her,” I said adamantly.But I was talking without thinking; I was moving w

ADIRA'S POVI sat down and momentarily closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and steadied my mind. My thoughts were all over the place, and I needed to calm down if I was going to be able to remember anything that had happened.“Take your time,” Ryder’s wolf said gently.“I was sitting in the garden with other pack members. Lumina was playing very close to me with her nanny. She wasn’t far from me; she was by my feet.” I swallowed heavily as I felt my throat closing in. “Everyone was playing, singing, and laughing. But that was until suddenly there was a shift in the atmosphere.” I sighed heavily.“I should have known at that point; I should have picked her up then! I should have carried my baby then, but I didn't! This is all my fault!” I cried, slamming my fist on my chest.“Hey, hey,” Ryder’s wolf grabbed my hand. “Stop blaming yourself. What happened wasn't your fault. How could you have known that there was a dangerous person in the pack? Even the border patrol warriors didn't kno

ADIRA'S POVI didn't sleep a wink. I sat awake until morning. Once it was first light, I picked up my phone and dialed my father's number.I held the phone with shaky hands as I waited for him to pick up.“Hello, Adira. Is everything okay? Why are you calling this early?” he asked, concern laced in his voice.“Dad… Lumina is missing,” I said, my voice tight.“What?!” he yelled.“What happened?” I heard Mother’s voice in the background. Her feet softly crunched against the ground as she rushed to my father.“What's wrong, Adira?” Her soothing voice filtered into the phone.“Lumina is missing,” I sniffled.“What do you mean by that?” she asked in a shaky voice.“She went missing yesterday. Someone took her. We haven't been able to find her. I don't know… I don't know how. I can't explain, I am confused,” I cried.“How can Lumina be missing? How did someone enter the pack and take Lumina and no one saw?” she yelled.Dad took the phone back. “Is there a search party already looking for he

RYDER’S POVAs the seconds passed, I didn't know what I was hoping for. I was not sure if I wanted to know what it was I saw in his eyes, or even know what his answer to my question was.Grandpa Alan cleared his throat. “I am only guilty of caring for the offspring of my offspring. Lumina is my great-granddaughter; of course I want the best for her. And for Adira, she brought such a beautiful soul to this family; of course I should care for her. Do I need to have any other reason to celebrate her wins?To answer your second question, I didn't choose the garden as where the celebration should happen. It just somehow ended up there, and I wasn't even aware of it. So no, I didn't plan for any of this to happen. I am innocent of all accusations.” He replied firmly.I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. I was just grateful that his stories aligned and there were no loopholes. Looking around at the faces in the room, it was clear that they all agreed with that.“You may go,” I

ADIRA’S POVI bolted, and for a second I regretted my choice of clothing this morning. My skirts whipped around my legs, slowing me down. I grabbed the underside of my skirt, raised it up without caring, and continued to run.I needed to get to my child, and hopefully this time it was not a dead end. My heart thumped in my chest, pounding hard against my ribs as I ran.Ryder, my father, and Jackson surged after me with pounding feet and snarling determination.I knew a shortcut; after visiting the cave so many times, I now knew the place like the back of my hand. I cut the corner and continued to run.“Adira,” Ryder yelled breathlessly.But I did not stop; I kept running.“I think we are going off route. We are not heading south anymore,” he yelled.“I am taking a shorter route,” I yelled back and continued to run.They all followed without another question, and as I switched between the paths, I landed in front of the cave.Just then Mum and the other warriors arrived too, some in th
