All Chapters of AFTER DIVORCE, I BECAME A LUNA: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Josie's POVWe flew toward the bleeding rift as one light, me in the middle and my mom Gwen on my left and my dad Xavier on my right, and their light hands were holding mine so tight I thought my heart would explode from happiness and from fear at the same time, because behind us the white city of frozen light was crumbling and in front of us the mortal world was screaming.I could hear Malakor screaming my name through the rift, "Josie! Josie! The dark masters are pushing through! The fortress is cracking!"And I could hear Vane laughing from somewhere inside the red-purple wound in the sky, "Oh look, family reunion, how sweet, too bad you will all die together, little silver pup and her ghost parents."But I did not let go of my parents' hands and my parents did not let go of mine, and my starlight glaive that I forged from the Tree of Dawn was blazing so bright it was no longer just silver, it was white-gold and platinum mixed like my parents' light and my own light together.My mo

Josie's POVThe western gates of Hallow Pack fortress have never been opened for Cole, not in eighteen years, not since my mom Gwen was five years married to him and then he filed for divorce and cut her off any means of income and walked away with another woman while I was five and dying from wolf awakening too soon, but today the guards opened them because Cole came with white truce banners and ten armed warriors behind him and a woman in red dress and a boy who looked about ten.I stood on the high stone balcony with Malakor behind me and a blanket still around my shoulders because my new wolf and dragon shift took all my energy, and inside my chest my mom Gwen and my dad Xavier were breathing with me and I could feel them tense when they saw Cole, like old wounds opening."That's him," my mom Gwen whispered inside my heart, her light flickering from warm platinum to cold silver, "six years I endured everything Cole did, I was never meant to be weak but marriage turned me into woma

Josie's POVWe left Hallow Pack fortress at dawn after I declared war on High Council and my mom Gwen and dad Xavier were still breathing inside my chest and Malakor said we are insane to ride to capital city with only twenty warriors because crystal throne controls ten thousand blades and magic nodes that can turn stone to dust, but I said we have to go now because if we wait council will send more envoys and try to take my crystal blood again like they took my mom's blood eighteen years ago when she was married to Cole for six years and they said her Silver Dragon blood was cursed.The road to capital was long and dusty and I rode on big black war horse that Xavier used to ride when he was mortal and Malakor rode beside me with his iron mask off because he said he does not need mask when he rides with his star child, and behind us twenty Hallow Pack wolves ran in wolf form, huge and silver-gray, and above us the sky was clear blue with Family Star still shining even in daylight, thr

We climbed out of obsidian vault beneath capital city and the glass stairs that were frozen light were now cracked from my supernova inside my chest where my mom Gwen and dad Xavier kissed as lights and created white-gold and platinum explosion that shattered true core of Void-Eater that was chained with Tree of Dawn bark and Sovereign Alpha chains, and Queen Astraea walked behind us with Malakor and twenty wolves and she kept looking at my chest where warm new star was sleeping after helping me destroy monolith.Outside capital gates night had fallen and Family Star was shining but not three stars like Hallow Pack fortress had called it for eighteen years, four stars now, three bright white-gold and platinum and silver-white that were me and Mom and Dad as family, and one tiny faint gold pulse beside them that flickered like baby breathing, and junior scouts on capital walls shouted, "Four stars, Queen Astraea, Family Star grew."My mom Gwen inside my chest cried softly, not angry te

Josie's POV"Mom, Caelum just ate one of your crystal blood stars floating above war table," I shouted with baby Caelum in one arm and my blanket half falling off because I overslept after birthing star as flesh yesterday and destroying true core in obsidian vault beneath capital and burning Cole's buried letters that council hid under east wall, "he literally swallowed it and now his tiny wings are glowing like Christmas lights."My mom Gwen inside my chest laughed so loud I felt platinum light tickle my ribs and my dad Xavier inside me groaned like tired dad, "Gwen, tell your daughter not to shout, I am trying to sleep inside her heart, we have been awake for eighteen years as stars and two days as lights inside Josie, let me rest."My mom answered through my mouth while I tried to take crystal star out of Caelum's mouth, her voice layered over mine so old healer who was making soup in war room kitchen heard, "Xavier Holt, you asked me to marry you with no boundaries and no rules wh
