All Chapters of Luna Lisa: The Tale Of The Cursed Wolf: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Reinhardt stood before the waterfall inside his living room. The goldfish glided calmly beneath the fountain, a sharp contrast to the turmoil in his mind.Argus Panoptes.Veronica missing.Braun and Rowan gone.Even their mother, a woman who never left headquarters, had vanished into Belltown.Lisa’s trail remained unmoved inside enemy territory.Every thread he pulled only revealed another knot.He exhaled shakily, pulled out his phone, and forced the name out.“Hello… Bertolt.I want us to see.” ************************************Beneath the half-crescent roof, at the balustrade overlooking the family pool, Bertolt arrived in his usual crisp suit. Reinhardt was already there, shoulders tense, back turned.“Bertolt,” Reinhardt began, still not facing him, “I told Konrad you should come home.”“What do you want, brother?” Bertolt’s tone was dry. “I only came because Ursula woke up. I need to take care of her myself. I can’t trust this family anymore.”“Hmmm… must we

Rowan stood by the window of the room he had been given. Two male omega wolves from the Belltown pack were assigned to “attend” to him, but he knew they were really there to watch him. And if they were watching him, then his mother probably had two more watching them. That was how she thought.If that was the case, she was being funny, because Rowan knew he had the ability to control people like puppets if he wanted. His mother knew that too. That was the only reason she kept him close. When he was younger, she used to call him “mistake” and “weakling,” but when she found out about his power, her attitude changed. She trained him, pushed him, and made sure he learned to fight.Still, Rowan always preferred the times he spent with Reinhardt growing up. Reinhardt would take him into the woods and they would ride bisons, hunt small animals, and spend hours together. Rowan’s loyalty to Reinhardt was real and deep, and he knew his mother was aware of it.Rowan looked at the two omegas agai

“Hmph… so you really don’t know what you are?” Japheth scoffed. “What I am?” Lisa repeated, the words tasting strange in her mouth. “Yes,” Japheth said, turning to finally look at her. “Why do you people keep asking what I am instead of who I am? Am I a thing to you?” Lisa snapped, her voice rising. “That question irritates the hell out of me,” she muttered, her brow tightening. “What am I, what am I… You say it like I’m some kind of object.” “Well, what you are isn’t human,” Japheth shot back. “So ‘who’ doesn’t fit.” Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “Then tell me what I am, since you seem to know.” Japheth inhaled sharply, then forced his voice calm as he explained the prophecy the way Emma told him. When he finished, he said coldly, “If what they believe is true, then they should kill you before you cause a catastrophe.” Lisa froze. Her throat tightened. Words wouldn’t come. Anxiety and confusion warped her expression. “They all misunderstand me,” she whispered to herself

“Elder Ludwig,” Reinhardt called out as the old man stepped into the private hall. Ludwig had arrived from Germany earlier without warning. He had been the only Elder missing from the previous meeting, and his sudden appearance only stirred more suspicion. “Will you forgive me for missing the last meeting? And for arriving unannounced?” Ludwig asked, settling himself into a chair. “ Elder Ludwig. I am not fit to take offence,” Reinhardt said honestly. “I only wonder why you came in person. We could’ve discussed this through hologram.” Ludwig let out a slow breath. “This place belonged to the first Father of the Schmidts. He fought to preserve the Athenian bloodline, even as it weakened over the years.” “Hm. And that is why half-bloods are treated badly?” Reinhardt threw a sardonic look. Ludwig gave a bitter smile. “It was never meant to be that way. The Elders twisted the idea. Their obsession with purity caused the half-bloods to revolt. And that revolt is what created monsters

In the throne room, Lena sat on her seat with her three children standing before her.“Do you know I’m doing all this for us, right?” Lena said with a soft chuckle.The siblings exchanged a confused look. They no longer knew when their mother was being honest or when she was lying.“Mother, why are we here?” Veronica asked sharply. “Since you’ve decided to stop telling us your plans, why call us as if we’re having a family meeting?”“Silence, Veronica,” Braun warned.“It’s not a discussion,” Lena corrected calmly. “More like a lecture… and an order.”Rowan stayed quiet, watching everything. His heart felt heavy, but he kept his face blank.Why did Mother call this meeting? Is she finally going to tell Braun and Veronica? If she does… Braun will never allow me to die. He would fight her. Is that what she wants?Rowan’s mind raced.“I’m here to tell you that things will get interesting from now on,” Lena continued. “And I expect your full loyalty.”Rowan swallowed.Now everything makes
