All Chapters of Rebirth Of A Broken Luna : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Jessie's POV I made it to my mother's chamber and closed the door behind me, leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath. Every part of me hurts. My body from Ethan's attack, my heart from his absence, my soul from the weight of all these lies.I needed to get to the library. Needed to unlock those keys. Needed to..The door opened.I stumbled forward, caught off guard. When I turned, Lisa was standing there, that perfect omega submissiveness in her posture.But her eyes... her eyes were triumphant.Something inside me snapped.All the fear, the anger, the desperation, it all transformed into pure rage.I moved forward, towards her.My hand caught her throat, and I slammed her back against the wall with all the strength I had. My wolf surged forward, lending me power, and I felt my claws extend, pressing against her skin."Where is he?" I snarled, my face inches from hers. "Where is my mate?"Lisa's expression didn't change. She didn't fight back, didn't even flinch. Just smiled

Jessie's POVThe moment we were alone, my father pulled me into his arms. "Tell me what you can. Without names, without specifics. Just enough that I can help you."The binding spell eased slightly with Steven gone. One less person in the room meant one less person at risk if I spoke.I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could form the words, a voice cut through the room."Stop, Jessie."We both turned toward the door. It had opened silently, and standing in the doorway was Beatrice.My father went completely still. His arms dropped from around me, and for a moment, he stared."Beatrice?" His voice was barely a whisper, filled with shock and disbelief and something that sounded like hope. "Is that... is that really you?""Hello, Alpha," Beatrice said softly, stepping fully into the room and closing the door behind her. "It's been a long time."My father didn't respond with words. Instead, he moved, faster than I had ever seen him move, crossing the room in three long strides. He p

Jessie's POVWhile at the library, I had read everything I could find about the Ritual of Endless Night. About dark magic defenses. About blood magic and binding spells and the terrible price of power.But the box remained stubbornly closed.Knowledge was the first key, but knowledge of what, specifically? How much did I need to know? How would the box even recognize that I had learned enough?I began to feel very frustrated. I picked up the box again and ran my fingers over the symbols, hoping to find something."Please," I whispered to it, to my mother's memory, to whoever was listening. "Please, I need what's inside. I need to know how to save him."The box remained cold and unmoved under my touch.Open!" I commanded, letting my wolf's power bleed into my voice. "I am your mistress's daughter! I have her blood, her magic! OPEN FOR ME!"The box remained stubbornly closed.I wanted to scream. Wanted to throw the damned thing against the wall and shatter it into a thousand pieces.But

Jessie's POVBeatrice and I spent the next hour searching through the library, pulling books about sacrifice, about divine power, about the choices that separated heroes from martyrs. Each book seemed to offer a piece of the puzzle, but nothing that clearly pointed to what my mother had intended."There has to be something specific," I muttered, setting aside another volume about ancient ritual practices. "Mom wouldn't have made the final key impossible to unlock. She wanted me to have whatever is in this box.""Perhaps that's exactly the point," Beatrice said thoughtfully from across the library. "Your mother was brilliant at creating tests that required the person to come to their own understanding. The sacrifice might not be spelled out in a book because it's something you need to realize yourself."I looked down at the box in frustration, running my fingers over the final lock. The first two locks had opened when I truly understood knowledge and truth. The third would open when I

Jessie's POVA few minutes after Beatrice had left, she suddenly came back looking very pale and scared."Jessie, you need to come. Now."The way she said it made me so scared. I put down the book I was holding immediately, "What's wrong?""Your father. I can't find him."My heart jumped. "What do you mean you can't find my father? He is in his study. He should be in his study.""He is not. I just checked. The study is empty. His office is empty. I looked everywhere on the main floors, but I couldn't find him."I was already running to the door, and Beatrice was right behind me. We came out into my bedroom, and I rushed into the hallway."Kelvin!" I called out, looking for any of the guards. Not calling Kelvin specifically.One of the guards appeared, "Princess Jessie. Please, what's wrong?""Have you seen my father? Alpha Marcus?"The guard frowned. "Not recently, no. The last time I saw him was about two hours ago when he left the study. I have been walking around the hallways since
