All Chapters of The Dead Luna's Secret Son: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~Lisa~Ronan stepped forward."You said you had seen something similar before."Dr. Elias nodded."I did. But I never saw a child whose wolf could speak through him before a full shift."My stomach tightened."Was that what happened upstairs?""I believe so."I remembered Milo's strange voice.The Blood Hall must never be opened.Those words had come from my four-year-old son, but they hadn't sounded like him."What is the Blood Hall?" I asked.Dr. Elias looked at me."I don't know exactly what lies inside it. The old records describe it as a place where the earliest Alpha bloodlines kept their most important secrets.""Then why did Milo warn us not to open it?""That is what we need to discover."Ronan's expression hardened."Where is it?"Dr. Elias hesitated."Some accounts place it beneath the oldest territory of the original Alpha clan. Others claim it was sealed after a conflict between the ancient rulers.""Do you know how to find it?""No."Ronan looked away in frustration.I u

~Ronan~I considered the possibility.My father had been hiding something for years. He had known about the Circle, the bloodline, and Milo's existence. If he had disappeared willingly, he might have gone to the one place where he believed he could stop what was coming.I folded the map."We're going to the northern grounds."Desmond nodded."I'll gather the guards.""No large group. If the Circle is watching us, I don't want them to know where we're going."Lisa looked at me."I'm coming."I expected the argument.Instead, I nodded."Stay beside me."She reached for my hand."I will."The northern grounds were colder than the rest of Blackthorn.The trees grew thick around the old hunting house, and the ground was covered with dead leaves. There were no signs of recent activity, but the silence felt unnatural.Desmond walked ahead, checking the ground for tracks.I kept the key in my pocket.Lisa remained beside me, her eyes moving between the trees and the abandoned building.When w

~Ronan~I seized the edge of the door and tried to force it shut. The stone barely moved. An invisible pressure pushed against me from the other side, and pain shot through my arms.My wolf rose beneath my skin, furious and frightened.For the first time in my life, I felt him hesitate before facing another presence.Whatever stood behind Victor was not an ordinary werewolf.“Desmond!” I shouted.He joined me, bracing both hands against the stone. Together, we pushed, but the door continued opening.Lisa looked at the silver key in my hand.“The key,” she said. “Ronan, look at it.”A faint silver light had appeared along its edges.I turned it over. Symbols that had been invisible before now glowed across its surface. They resembled the markings on the stone door, except for one symbol at the center.A crescent moon split by a line.Lisa reached into the collar of her shirt and pulled out the necklace she had worn for years. The small pendant rested against her palm.It carried the sa

~Lisa~I struggled against him, angry at him for stopping me and terrified that he might be right.The voice became clearer.“Ask Victor what he did to me.”Victor flinched.I stopped struggling.“What did she say?”Ronan did not release me.The voice spoke again.“Ask him why he allowed them to take me.”I turned slowly toward Victor.He looked as though someone had struck him.“Tell me,” I demanded.Victor's mouth opened, but no words came out.“Did you know my mother?”“Yes.”“Did you have anything to do with her death?”His eyes filled with pain.“I never wanted her to die.”“That isn't an answer!”“I know.”My hands began to shake. “What did you do?”Victor looked toward the passage, then back at me.“Your mother discovered the Circle's plan before you disappeared. She knew they wanted your child, and she tried to stop them. She came to me because she believed I could protect you.”I felt Ronan's hold loosen slightly.“What happened?”“I promised to help her. But the council was

~Ronan~I examined the image again.His eyes were not simply glowing gold. A thin silver ring surrounded each pupil, forming a pattern I had seen on the walls beneath the hunting house.And on his chest, just visible through the open collar of his hospital gown, was a mark shaped like a crown.“I've never seen that before,” I said.“Neither have I.”Lisa touched the screen with one finger.“But I saw something like it in my mother's belongings. There was a drawing hidden inside the back of her old journal. I thought it was just a family symbol.”“Where is the journal?”“At the villa.”“We'll get it after we find Milo.”A car horn sounded.Desmond had brought the vehicle around.We climbed inside, and he drove toward the hospital as fast as the road allowed.Throughout the journey, I kept calling Dr. Elias. Every call went unanswered.Lisa sat beside me with both hands clasped tightly together.“Do you think the figure in the photograph is the King?” she asked.“I don't know.”“Victor
