All Chapters of The Dead Luna's Secret Son: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

~Ronan~Marcus.The name stayed in my head as I pushed through the trees.I knew that name.I had seen him before.Not often, but enough.He owned the nightclub where Lisa had been working when I found her.And now he knew about Milo.That was not a coincidence.I moved faster.Desmond was already several steps ahead of me, following the faint tracks through the wet ground.“Nothing,” he said.I stopped.The tracks ended near a fallen tree.I looked around.The forest was quiet.Too quiet.“He’s gone.”Desmond crouched and touched the ground.“These tracks are fresh.”“How fresh?”“Less than an hour.”I looked back toward Lisa.She was still holding Milo.The boy looked calm now, but I could see how tightly Lisa was holding him.She had been terrified.So had I.Only I had spent years learning how to hide it.I turned back to Desmond.“Find him.”“I will.”“No.”Desmond looked at me.“I want every person connected to Marcus checked. His home, his business, his employees, everyone.”De

~Lisa~For several seconds, I couldn't speak.My mother was dead. I had known that for years. I had buried her memories alongside the life I lost when I disappeared from Blackthorn.But hearing that someone had found her photograph beside a body made something inside me twist.It was as though the past had reached out and grabbed me by the throat."What do you mean, the first witness has been silenced?" I asked Desmond. "Who wrote that message?""We don't know yet.""Then how can you say the witness has been silenced? What if the body isn't even connected to my mother?"Desmond exchanged a look with Ronan.I hated that look. It was the same one people gave when they knew something I didn't."Stop looking at each other like that," I said. "Tell me what you know.""We don't know enough to draw conclusions," Ronan replied. "That's why we're going to the property.""And Milo?""He'll return to the villa with the guards. I'll make sure he's protected."I shook my head."After what happened

~Ronan~ "Repeat that." The guard stood before me, struggling to catch his breath. "Victor is missing, Alpha. His room was empty when the guards went to check on him. The window was open, and one of the guards assigned to his door is unconscious." For a moment, I couldn't speak. My father had spent years confined to his bed. Even before his health deteriorated, he had rarely left his private residence without an escort. Now he had vanished without anyone noticing. "How long has he been missing?" "About forty minutes." "And nobody thought to inform me until now?" The guard lowered his head. "We only discovered the unconscious guard a few minutes ago. We searched the surrounding rooms before coming to you." I turned toward Desmond. "Get everyone moving. Seal the northern and eastern exits. Nobody leaves Blackthorn without my permission." "Understood." "And find the guard who was attacked. I want to know what he saw before he lost consciousness." Desmond hur

~Ronan~My son,If you are reading this, then I have either been taken or have finally found the courage to leave.I stopped.Lisa moved closer."What does it say?"I continued reading.There are things I should have told you years ago. Things I allowed others to hide because I believed I was protecting this family.I was wrong.My fingers tightened around the paper.Lisa's disappearance was not an accident. The people who came for her knew about the child before she did. They had been watching her for months.I felt Lisa go still beside me.The letter continued.I knew what they intended to do, but I believed I could control them. I thought I could keep the child alive without exposing him to the Circle.A bitter laugh escaped me.My father had known.He had known about Lisa's pregnancy, about the Circle, and about the danger surrounding our child.And he had said nothing.I made a bargain, Ronan. One that I believed would keep the pack from falling into civil war. I told myself I wa

~Dr Elias~For a moment, nobody spoke.Then Ronan stepped toward me."Are you telling me my father knew about this child?""He knew about the bloodline. I cannot tell you how much he knew about Milo.""That's not good enough.""I understand your anger, but I won't pretend to know things I don't."Ronan turned away, dragging a hand over his face.Lisa looked at me."You said the Circle wants Milo's blood. Why?""Because they believe his blood can awaken something that has been dormant for generations.""What thing?""The ancient Alpha line."Ronan stared at me."The Alpha line already exists.""Not the line I'm talking about. I'm talking about the bloodline that existed before the packs divided, before the council gained power, and before the first Alpha territories were established."I paused."The First Blood Heir is said to carry the power of the earliest werewolf rulers. The Circle believes that whoever controls the heir can control the future of every pack."Lisa shook her head."
