All Chapters of The Barren Luna's Secret: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Freya’s POVWinter wiped her face with the back of her hand. She took a breath before she spoke. "He saw what happened with the bear, what the mad rogue blood did to the bear. Mason has not been able to stop thinking about it since. He wanted to see the map because he wanted to know where the tunnels were. He said if something like that happened inside the pack, he needed to know how to get me out. Mason, my mate, is not a traitor, Luna.”I swore under my breath. Clearly, we had not been careful enough with hiding what we were doing. Winter thought Mason meant well, but I did not think that was his real reason for wanting her to get the map."I want you to hear me clearly, Winter. If something happens in this pack, I will personally see to it that every pack member has access to those tunnels. I will not leave anyone behind. But I cannot disclose the location of those passages right now,” I finally responded."Why not?" she asked.‘Who is she to question us?’ my wolf snarled and I pus

Winter’s POVThe doctor handed me a small bundle of herbs when he signed my discharge papers."Brew these into a tea before bed," he said. "Stay off your feet for the rest of the day.""I will do my best," I told him.The doctor gave me a long look that said he had heard that before and did not believe it. "I mean it, Winter. You are in early pregnancy. Your body is already working harder than usual. You need rest tonight.""I promise I will rest,” I told him again.The doctor nodded and handed me a printed sheet with detailed care instructions. “Come back in two weeks for a follow-up. If your condition is worse, I’ll request Alpha to order you to stay here,” he warned.Back in my room I sat on the edge of the bed and put the pregnancy report on the bedside table. I had been thinking about how to tell Mason since Freya told me I was pregnant. Mason had talked about children before in the way people do when they want something badly enough, but too afraid to admit it.‘He will be happ

Freya’s POVWinter’s breath was shallow and wet. I pressed harder on her wound, but she was losing blood faster than I could stop it."Stay with me," I told her. "Winter. Please stay with me."Winter opened her mouth to speak but only more blood bubbled up. She coughed hard and I felt it warm against my hands. “Don’t try to speak.”"I am sorry," she said. Her voice was barely there. "I am so sorry, Luna. I let them deceive me again. I hurt you again.""Stop," I said. "You did not hurt me. You saved me. Do you understand that? You saved me!"Winter attempted to speak again, but she began to gasp. She strained as she tried to get air in. Winter’s eyes were glassy, but she was still looking at me.‘No, no, she couldn’t die, not like this!’ I thought."The baby," I pleaded. "Winter, you have to hold on for the baby. Help is on the way.”Behind me I heard Logan yelling. “Where is the healer? What is taking so long?”“You’re going to be okay. You have to keep breathing. Think about the baby

Logan’s POVFreya had not been sleeping well this past week. Every night she would only sleep for a few hours before waking to stare at the ceiling. Freya did not want to talk about it and I didn’t pressure her.At breakfast she sat across from me. Freya looked like a shell of her former self. She was pale with bags under her eyes.‘We will have to get the doctor involved. Our mate needs to sleep,’ my wolf suggested.Freya turned to the maid standing nearest to her and said, "Winter, can you add sugar for my coffee?"The maid did not move. Freya registered what she had said and the remaining color that was left on her face drained away.“Leave us,” I said as I stood and opened the door. They left without a word and I closed the door. I pulled my chair beside Freya’s and put my arm around her. She turned into me and cried. She pressed her face against my shoulder, and I held her with my hand on the back of her head."She never got any of it," Freya said. "The marking. The child. Every

Freya’s POVLogan had been watching my face the entire time as I spoke to Kael. “It’s serious,” he said flatly. It wasn’t a question. He knew me enough to know."My father only has three months left," I said.Logan cupped my face and said, “Freya, I’m so sorry.”"It is a progressive illness. Vivian has not found a cure yet,” I continued. "We’re going today," Logan declared.“Right now? You’re with me?”“Yes. Right now. I will call the pack meeting, you will speak to them, and then we will leave. Can you do that?""Yes."Logan kissed my forehead. His eyes flashed and I heard his order through the pack link. The pack gathered quickly in the courtyard. By the time I stepped out to face them the word had already spread that something was wrong. No one spoke. All eyes were on us."The Alpha King is ill," I announced and there were murmurs of alarm amongst the pack. "It is serious. I need to go to him, and I do not know how long I will be away."A warrior near the front spoke up. "My cond
