All Chapters of Luna Eclipse: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

POV: LunaI ran toward the princess's collapsed form. Eclipse power already flowing. Trying to purify the death curse. Trying to reverse forbidden magic that was designed to be irreversible. Trying to save someone who'd sacrificed herself for love despite knowing sacrifice might be permanent.But I couldn't focus completely. Couldn't give the princess all my attention. Because through the mate bond with Liam, I felt him breaking. Felt jealousy and fear and watching Caleb and me work together creating agony he was barely containing.Caleb knelt beside me. His hands joining mine over the princess's chest. Miguel's knowledge of death curses guiding our combined effort. Our magic merging instinctively. Perfectly. Creating purification wave that might be sufficient where individual power would fail.Through the mate bond, Liam's pain intensified. Watching us synchronize. Watching our connection flow effortlessly. Watching what he and I struggled to achieve happening naturally between Caleb

POV: LunaThe Council investigation happened three days after Vivian's forbidden spell. Three days of the princess recovering. Three days of Selene barely leaving her side. Three days of everyone understanding that formal magical duel had become criminal incident requiring official response.The Council chamber was packed. Every elder present. Witnesses called. Evidence documented. Everything formal and official and terrifying because Council investigations could end careers. Could destroy reputations. Could separate bonded pairs if investigation concluded relationship was dangerous or unstable or politically unwise.I sat in witness section with my pack. Both mates beside me despite knowing their presence created complications. Despite understanding that dual bonds would become subject of questioning. Despite recognizing that supporting the princess meant exposing ourselves to scrutiny we'd been avoiding.The head councilor called session to order. His expression was grave. Understan

POV: LunaI woke to Liam's face above mine. His expression was devastated. Terrified. Understanding that losing me even briefly had triggered everything. All the jealousy. All the fear. All the certainty that loving me meant watching me risk myself repeatedly while he stood helplessly unable to prevent danger or protect adequately or be sufficient for keeping me safe."You're okay," he whispered. Voice breaking. "You're alive. You're conscious. You're here instead of wherever that pulse sent you. Thank the goddess. Thank divine design. Thank everything that brought you back instead of taking you permanently."Through the mate bond, I felt his vulnerability. His absolute terror. His awareness that brief unconsciousness had shown him exactly what losing me would feel like. Had demonstrated that sharing me with Caleb was infinitely better than losing me completely. Had proved that jealousy was manageable when alternative was unbearable."How long?" I asked."Thirty seconds. Maybe less. B

POV: LunaFinding Liam could wait. The alarms sounding meant immediate crisis took precedence over relationship repairs. Meant survival demanded attention before love could be addressed. Meant portal was doing something that required everyone's focus regardless of personal drama or complicated emotions.I ran toward emergency signals. Toward chaos. Toward whatever threat was manifesting while we'd been distracted by bond complications and grandmother's wisdom and trying to navigate impossible relationships.The portal had widened. Dramatically. Not gradual expansion. Sudden growth. Threatening to merge otherworld with Silverwood completely. Threatening to eliminate barrier between realities. Threatening to transform academy into hybrid space where normal laws didn't apply and chaos ruled and everything we understood about reality became optional suggestion instead of fundamental truth.Through my Eclipse mark, I felt entity's alarm. Felt transformed essence recognizing unprecedented d

POV: LunaThe decision about Hunter had to wait. The portal crisis was contained for now. Cole's trap was recognized. Rescue attempt could be planned instead of being impulsive response to emotional manipulation.But while portal stabilized, while I processed impossible choices about trapped mates and multiplying bonds and Liam's emotional departure, the princess's situation was resolving. Not through another battle. Through social transformation.Vivian's expulsion had created ripple effect. Students who'd supported rival group reconsidering positions. Social factions that had persecuted same-gender bonds questioning assumptions. Everyone processing what forbidden death curse had revealed about those who opposed princess's relationship.The princess and Selene walked through Great Hall together. Holding hands. Publicly. Defiantly. Understanding that Vivian's murderous attempt had actually legitimized their bond. Had proven that opposition came from hatred instead of principle. Had de
