All Chapters of The Luna He Never Deserved: Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

Aurelia's POV"You're bringing Mother home?"I leaned closer to Helena's phone, almost knocking the folder of documents off my lap."Yes," Adrian answered. "Her doctors have cleared her for travel, and I've already started making the arrangements. If everything goes according to plan, we should arrive the day after tomorrow."Helena was smiling beside me, but I could barely return it.A few minutes ago, I'd been sitting in the registrar's office, trying to get used to seeing Aurelia Laurent on my legal documents. Now Adrian was telling me that I would finally meet the woman who'd given me that name."Does she know about me?" I asked."Not yet. I wanted to speak to you first, like I promised."I lowered my eyes to the folder in my lap.When Evander first told me Mother was alive, he'd explained how badly her condition had deteriorated after years of searching for me. Every false lead had made things worse until her doctors recommended treatment away from everything connected to my disa

Aurelia's POVI was reviewing Soren's latest treatment notes when someone knocked on my bedroom door the following morning."Come in," I called, setting my pen beside the folder.Mother appeared carrying a small breakfast tray, followed by a maid with a teapot. She looked better rested than she had the previous evening, although Adrian had apparently insisted she eat before coming to see me."I hope I'm not disturbing you," she said, glancing at the papers spread across my desk. "Helena told me you weren't working today.""I'm not. I was just going through some notes."She watched me gather the documents into a neat pile before setting the tray on the small table beside the couch."You were always fond of books," she said. "I suppose some things haven't changed."I smiled and joined her.For the first few minutes, we talked about her journey home and how much the residence had changed during her absence. She complained that Ronan had rearranged her favourite sitting room, then admitte

Aurelia's POV"Now tell me what you think we should do instead."Dr Halloway stood at the foot of Soren's bed, waiting for my answer. Ardis said nothing, although she was watching me closely enough that I knew she expected a proper explanation."I'd continue what we've been doing, but watch him more closely for the next couple of days," I said. "His pain was improving, and his wolf was returning without medication. Even the smaller induction doses made him worse before. We shouldn't assume his body can handle them now because of one stronger response.""And if he has another episode?" Halloway asked."Then we reassess. We don't know yet whether this is a setback or a new pattern."He turned to Ardis. "I still think we may eventually need to help his wolf maintain the connection.""We may," she agreed. "But not today. We'll continue managing his pain and checking him regularly, then review what happens over the next forty-eight hours."Halloway glanced at Soren. "You understand that wai

Aurelia's POVSoren had made it halfway down the corridor when his left leg began trembling."Don't even think about pretending you're fine," Hobbs warned, moving closer with the wheelchair she'd brought along."I wasn't going to," he replied, although the look he gave the chair suggested otherwise. "I was considering whether the window at the end of the corridor was worth all this trouble."The physiotherapist smiled and encouraged him to take a moment before turning back.I watched from beside the nurses' station, pleased to see him walking again. Two days ago, he'd been in so much pain that sitting upright was difficult.Now he was completing short, supervised exercises, and Ardis had agreed to continue his current treatment as long as his condition remained stable.Soren noticed me watching and raised an eyebrow."You're enjoying this far too much.""I'm enjoying the fact that you're following instructions for once.""That's because Hobbs threatened to carry me back if I didn't."
