All Chapters of THE LUNA THEY NEVER WANTED: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER 72 XANDER’S POVWhen Elena returned to Gerafil, I could see from her face that she was no longer willing to accept half answers. She had already spoken to her parents, and whatever they told her had clearly changed something inside her. I knew I could not keep hiding what I had discovered during the years I spent searching for her.“Elena, before you ask me anything else, I need to tell you something,” I began, watching her carefully. “There are things I discovered while looking for you, and I should have told you about them a long time ago.” She folded her arms, waiting for me to continue.“After you left me for Trent, I didn't simply believe you were gone,” I explained, my voice quiet as old memories returned. “I searched for you everywhere. I went from territory to territory, questioned travelers, followed rumors, and even chased people who claimed they had seen you.”“You never told me any of that,” Elena replied, her eyes fixed on mine. “All this time, I thought you even

CHAPTER 74 WREN’S POVI woke up abruptly in the middle of the night, my heart beating hard as I sat up in bed and looked around my dark room. For a few seconds, I couldn't understand what had woken me, but then I heard it again. A baby was crying somewhere inside the palace. The sound was soft but clear, almost as if the child was right outside my door, yet I knew that couldn't be possible because Elena's daughter was safely asleep in the nursery. I stayed still, listening carefully, but the crying continued, and something about it made the hairs on my arms rise.“Why can I hear a baby crying?” I whispered, slowly getting out of bed. “Elena's baby is fine, so where is this coming from?” I waited for an answer even though I knew nobody was there to give me one. The palace was unusually quiet, and there were no footsteps from the guards or servants anywhere nearby. Still, the crying didn't stop. Instead, it seemed to become louder each time I stood still, pulling at something deep insi

CHAPTER 76 XANDER’S POVI froze when I realized my daughter had vanished from a room protected by guards and ancient magic. I stood beside the empty cradle, staring at her folded blanket and the strange symbol on the floor. My wolf roared inside me, but this wasn't the fear of facing an enemy. Someone had taken my child without leaving a single trail.“Seal every entrance to Gerafil,” I ordered the warriors outside the nursery, my voice hard with panic. “Nobody leaves this palace until my daughter is found. Search every room, corridor, servant quarter, garden and hidden passage. I want the entire palace searched.”“Elena, stay here while we search,” I told her when she moved toward the door. “Please, I need to know you're safe while we find our daughter.” She had only recently given birth, and the thought of losing both of them terrified me.“I am not staying behind,” Elena replied, shaking her head as she wiped the tears from her face. “Xander, that is my daughter too, and I will no

CHAPTER 78 ELENA’S POVI stood at the bottom of the newly opened staircase, staring into the darkness beneath Gerafil. My daughter was safe in Xander’s arms, but my mind refused to accept that this place had existed beneath our home without anyone knowing.“How can this be beneath Gerafil?” I asked quietly, running my fingers along the rough stone wall while staring into the hidden passage. “Our ancestors built this pack centuries ago. How could they have built over an entire chamber and never discovered it?”Xander moved closer, keeping our daughter securely against his chest while his eyes searched the darkness ahead. “Maybe they knew it existed and deliberately kept it hidden,” he replied cautiously, his voice low as he studied the ancient walls. “We shouldn't assume nobody knew about this place.”His words sent another uneasy feeling through me, but I forced myself to keep moving. Wren followed closely behind us, looking frightened, while the strange symbols continued appearing a

CHAPTER 80 ELENA’S POVI refused to let fear control me after we returned to the palace. My daughter was safe, but the strange mark beneath her shoulder kept troubling me, especially after everything we discovered beneath Gerafil. I needed answers before my imagination created worse possibilities.“Please examine her again,” I asked the healer, carefully placing my daughter on the soft examination bed while watching every movement. “I need you to tell me exactly what that mark is, and I want the truth, even if you think I won't like it.”The healer nodded calmly and began checking my daughter's breathing, heartbeat, temperature, and skin. “I understand your concern,” she assured me, carefully examining the mark beneath the baby's shoulder. “But I don't see anything that suggests she's sick or in immediate danger.”I watched her closely as she gently touched the skin surrounding the mark. “Then what is it?” I asked, my voice tightening as I looked between the healer and my sleeping da
