《Reborn As The True Luna》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

Astrid’s POV The corridor outside the medical wing was too bright. There are way too many people outside. Their voices overlapped, footsteps hurried wit that sharp scent of antiseptic biting at the back of my throat as I pushed through the doors without slowing. One of the junior healers tried to stop me but I didn’t even register what they said. The room was already crowded. Warriors lined the walls, all tense and useless. A healer was arguing under her breath near the cabinet witj her hands shaking as she sorted through vials. And at the center of it all— Calix lay small on the bed looking too still. Mira hovered over him her hands moving faint rapidly as she pressed them to his chest, her voice breaking over itself. “I didn’t mean— I didn’t know— oh please, please wake up —” Her tears fell freely rolling down her face and dripping onto his blanket as her shoulders shook. She looked wrecked and destroyed since it’s her son. It looks convincing enough though. Anthony s

“You’ve been busy” he added.My wolf stirred the moment his scent reached me — cedar and something darker, heavier.I forced it down before it could rise any further.“Enjoying the show?” I asked.“Educational I’ll say.” he said lightly. “You held your ground longer than I expected.”My jaw tightened. “If you’re here to mock me, you’ve made your point.”“I’m here because you’re running out of time.”“Then start helping.”“You had your best years already, Luna” he said a little quieter now but sharper. “As Luna you were protected and respected and well…. Useful.”The words landed exactly where he wanted them to. I stared at him.“You think this is me falling?” I asked.“I think this is what it looks like when someone loses their footing. And refuses to admit it.” He replied.My anger flared“Stay out of it. You’re not helping.”Something in his expression shifted.“Not yet.” He said and his eyes flashed THREE times again before he left.I hated that he chose now to show up.Hated that

The first servant I tested barely registered it as I brushed past her in the hallway letting my fingers skim her wrist like it was accidental. The thoughts came easily.What to cook for dinner. Complaints about another servant. A fleeting worry about Calix.It was easy so I kept walking hoping the degradation isn’t taking away my new abilities. The second one was the same and so is the third but a little slower with more resistant. Dammit.I didn’t stop moving as I stepped out toward the training yard. The noise hit first but I tuned most of it out, focusing on proximity instead. Maybe warriors would be harder to read now?I passed one of the guards near the entrance and let my shoulder brush his arm. There was nothing at first then fragments followed but NOT enough at all.I had to push for it just a little. He frowned slightly shifting like he’d felt something but couldn’t place it. So I pulled back immediately and kept walking.Good at least it worked.My thought drifted to Anthony

Davian's POV“Already in progress. But she’s careful and moves often.” Ian responded“Then move faster.”Daniel nodded once. “We’ll have a location within twenty four hours.”“Make it twelve.” I ground out and he didn’t argue.I turned back to the desk finally picking up the tablet Serra had brought. The readings were exactly what she’d said. The numbers didn’t lie. Even when I wanted them to.“She’s still functioning well” I said more to myself than anyone else.“Barely.” Serra replied. “And she’s hiding it. Pushing herself harder than she should.”That was exactly what she would do. My grip on the tablet tightened before I set it back down.“Prepare the call.”Daniel moved immediately pulling out his phone. “Now?”“Now.”The room shifted into motion without another word. Within minutes, the secure line connected. Two faces appeared on the screen carrying the kind of presence that didn’t need titles to command respect.Elder Maren. Elder Kova.They both bowed and inclined their necks

Anthony's POV“That helped.” Mira murmured softly shifting closer.I didn’t respond or even look at her. My mind had already moved on to Calix again and I want answers. I don’t want to have her being out of my control.“Mira.”She stilled slightly. “Yes?”“What did you give him?”“It wasn’t poison,” she said that a little too fast. “It was just a stronger herb blend. For healing. I told you, I was trying something new—”“For a child?”Her fingers faltered against my skin.“I didn’t think he would drink it!” she added quickly. “It was meant for—”“For Astrid.”Then she was silent. I turned my head then finally looking at her. She held my gaze as if with challenge.“You’re overthinking this.” she said softly. “Everything is already working. The mark is degrading, she’s getting weaker—”“I didn’t ask you that.” For some reason, I feel uncomfortable when I think about Astrid dying soon.Her jaw tightened just slightly. Mira was many things but it seems like loyal wasn’t one of them. She w
