All Chapters of Alpha's Reborn Luna-Marked For Vengeance : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Selena's povI paced the length of the council hall, heels clicking like cracking bones against the marble floor. Rage burned through my veins so fiercely I could taste iron on my tongue. By the time the last elder finally shuffled through the door, my patience had evaporated into nothing but smoke.“Close the door,” I snapped.They obeyed immediately. I stared at every single one of them, jaw tight, nails digging into my palms.“So,” I said slowly, my voice dangerously calm, “you all suddenly grew spines in my absence?”Elder Rasmus cleared his throat. “Lady Selena, we… we only acted in the best interest of the pack.”“Oh, shut up.” I stalked toward him, watching him shrink with every step. “You acted in the best interest of your cowardice.”No one breathed.“You let Aurelia stand where I should be standing. After everything I’ve done for this kingdom.”Elder Miron tried again. “We only thought..”“You don’t have the skull to think,” I cut in sharply. “You follow. That is what you’ve

Aurelia’s POVThe world kept spinning. I couldn't fathom anything at that point, all I knew was, I had to get out. I had to escape whatever grip the Mirror Fragment had on me.I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing myself to pull away from the swirling vortex dragging me through time.Stop. Please just STOP.I reached out blindly, searching for something to hold on to, but all I felt was a crushing cold.Then the mirror yanked me forward again, slamming me into another vision so violently that I staggered. And there Dominic was.“No—no, no, please…” I whispered as panic exploded inside my chest.Because I recognized this moment.Selena stood across the room, holding a plate of food with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.Dominic walked toward her, oblivious.And I knew that plate was poisoned.“DOMINIC!” I screamed, running forward.My feet hammered against the marble floor, my lungs burning, but when I reached him and grabbed his arm, my hand slipped through him.Like smoke.“No, please.

Aurelia’s POV I lost count of how long we walked.Hours. Maybe more. My feet felt like they weren’t even mine anymore, just two swollen blocks of pain attached to my ankles. Every step sent a sharp stab through my entire leg, but I forced myself to keep going. I didn’t care about the pain. I didn’t care about the bruises or the cuts or the fact that my clothes were ripped in several places.I had only one thing in my head. Get to Dominic. Get the relic to him and save him.Kael walked in front with one of the guards, his movements slower than usual. He was limping on his right leg though he tried to hide it. Lyra moved beside me quietly. But her breath came out shaky, and she kept pressing her hand to her thigh where the trap had ripped her earlier.We were all tired. Drained. But none of us stopped.We kept walking through the forest, branches slapping our faces, roots catching our boots, the air getting colder as the sun dipped lower. My fingers were numb from gripping the relic th

AURELIA'S POVI woke up smiling.For the first time since the twins were born, I felt rested, almost human again. The palace curtains were drawn halfway, letting soft morning light spill across the room in warm strips. It kissed my skin, my arms, the blankets tangled around my waist.Today I would visit my mother.I stretched slowly, my muscles still remembering the agony of childbirth, but not aching like they did before. For once, I didn’t feel the weight of prophecy or relics or shadows pressing on my shoulders.Just a mother waking up to see her babies.I slid off the bed with a soft exhale, padding toward my vanity. The mirror reflected a version of me that almost felt unreal—rosy cheeks, glowing skin, hair cascading down my shoulders in soft waves.I whispered to my reflection, almost shyly, telling myself I look good.I lifted my brush, parting my hair gently as I started getting ready. It felt good to look like myself again. To feel like myself again.A knock sounded at the do

AURELIA'S POVThe dealer’s fingers were cold when he dropped the map into my hand, cold enough to make my bones twitch. The parchment was wet, slick, and warm like blood that hadn’t even decided whether it wanted to dry.It pulsed just once. Like it was breathing.I clenched my jaw and forced myself to hold it tighter. I wasn’t going to show fear.He leaned in, his smile stretching almost unnaturally slow. “Follow it quickly, before it changes its mind.”I didn’t answer him. I didn’t need to. My heart was already thundering with one truth:I was getting my children back. Even if I had to claw my way through hell itself.I turned sharply and pushed the door open, storming out into the cold night where Kael, Lyra, and the two guards waited.The moment the air hit me, Kael grabbed my arm.“Aurelia STOP.” His voice broke with frustration. “You’re walking us into a death trap. This is reckless even for you.”I jerked my arm out of his grip. “If reckless saves my children, then I’ll burn th
