Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 292: Kidnapped
Giselle’s POVI smiled graciously, a picture of a perfect Luna, as I moved through the crowd of guests. The pack grounds buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the vibrant energy of celebration. Ryker’s fourth birthday was meant to be a joyous occasion, and I made sure that every detail was perfect. — from the decorations to the banquet. Behind my polite smiles and gracious words, bitterness roiled like a storm within me, growing darker with every passing moment. Astrid. She lingered around the pack like a shadow that refused to fade, always present, always reminding me of what I had to claw and fight for. I could see her now, hovering near the entrance, wearing that same quiet, solemn expression she always carried, as if she bore some unspoken burden. It turned my stomach.She claimed she was here to offer help to the pack, but I wasn’t a fool. I knew there was more to her presence than mere goodwill. In just a few days, she’d already charmed her way into the hearts of so many
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 293: Performance
Giselle’s POVA sudden commotion broke through the steady hum of the party, shattering the illusion of celebration. I turned, my heart skipping a beat, and saw one of the pack warriors sprinting toward us, his face pale with urgency. Guests stopped mid-laugh, mid-conversation, their expressions shifting from joy to alarm as he burst into the center of the gathering.“Rogues! There’s been an attack!” he shouted, his voice ringing out across the clearing. “Everyone needs to gather around and stay put until we can secure the area! Pack guards, take your positions!”Instantly, the mood shifted, fear crackling through the air like electricity. Guests began to murmur in panic, looking to the edges of the pack grounds, as if they might see the threat lurking beyond the trees. Parents clutched their children closer, and people crowded together, seeking comfort in proximity. The guards moved quickly, forming a protective line around us, their faces grim with determination.My heart pounde
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 294: Setback
Giselle’s POVAs I continued my display, crying into my hands and letting my shoulders shake with every false sob, I felt a small flicker of satisfaction. It was working — the sympathy of the pack was turning toward me. I could hear their murmured reassurances, feel the gentle pats on my back and shoulders as they tried to comfort me. “It’s okay, Luna. We’ll find him. The warriors are searching.”“He’s a strong boy, Luna, just like his father. He’ll be all right.”Their words were fuel, encouraging me to keep playing my part. My tears flowed even harder, my voice breaking as I whispered, “He’s just a child... what if the rogues... what if—” I let my voice trail off, turning my face away as if I couldn’t bear to finish the thought. Then, amidst the chaos of the crowd, I heard another voice rise above the anxious murmurs — a voice that cut through the noise like a knife. It was Vanessa, her tone sharp with rising panic. “Wait — has anyone seen Hazel?”The shift in the air was immed
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 295: Misplaced Worry
Giselle’s POVThe panic that had been a performance just moments ago twisted into something real, sharp and icy, sinking its claws deep into my chest. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt my control slipping away. The shock that Hazel was missing struck me like a physical blow, making my head spin and my vision blur. This wasn't supposed to happen. Not Hazel. Not my daughter.The faces around me blurred as I staggered backward, the weight of the situation pressing down on me like a physical force. The whispers and murmurs of the crowd became a distant hum, overshadowed by the pounding of my heart in my ears. Through the haze of panic, I saw movement at the edge of the clearing. Killian and Damien had finally arrived. Their expressions were grim and alert as they walked through the crowd, scanning the faces of their pack members for signs of distress. Killian stepped forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. He raised a hand to signal for silence, and the murmur

Giselle’s POVAstrid’s sudden arrival sent a shockwave through the crowd. Whispers broke out, rippling across the gathered pack members, all eyes turning to her and Ryker. My carefully constructed plan, my painstaking performance of a frantic, grieving mother, began to unravel in that instant.Killian rushed forward, his expression a mixture of relief and confusion as he dropped to one knee, pulling Ryker into his arms. “Thank the goddess,” he breathed, his voice thick with emotion. “Ryker, you’re safe.”I watched, frozen in place, as the crowd’s attention shifted entirely to them. Everything I had worked for, all the careful manipulation, was crumbling before my eyes. Ryker was safe. Hazel, I realized with growing panic, was still missing.Astrid’s gaze met mine for just a moment, and there was something in her eyes — something knowing, something resolute — that sent a chill down my spine. She didn’t speak, but her presence alone was enough to make me feel cornered, as though s
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 297: Lose Control
Killian’s POVMy heart pounded as I watched Giselle tighten her grip on Ryker, her fingers digging into his small shoulders with a desperation that was turning into something else — something unrecognizable. She wasn’t just desperate. She was losing control. “Where is Hazel?” she demanded, her voice frantic as she shook Ryker, her eyes wild. “Tell me, Ryker! Where did you get this?” She pointed furiously at the bracelet in his tiny hand.Ryker, trembling, stood frozen in place, his wide eyes locked on Giselle. He didn’t speak—he couldn’t. Ryker had never uttered a word in his life and Giselle is well aware of that. My gut wrenched when I saw the fear in his eyes. I couldn’t let this continue.“Giselle, stop!” I shouted, stepping forward to pull Ryker from her. I yanked him out of her grip, shielding him behind me as he clung to my shirt, shaking. His small hands were cold, his body trembling. He was terrified of her — of Giselle.“How could you do this?” I growled, my voice thick
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 298: Exposed
Killian’s POVThat’s right… it’s only a matter of time. Why don’t I expose the truth right now? There is no other perfect timing for this. Let everyone be the witness as I expose all the lies that Giselle made everyone believe.I stared at Giselle, my heart pounding harder with each passing second.Ryker was still pressed against me, his small body trembling. I could feel his fear, his confusion.As much as I wanted to comfort him, I knew what was coming next wasn’t meant for him to hear.“Take him away,” I ordered, my voice low but firm. One of the pack omegas, sensing the urgency in my tone, stepped forward to gently guide Ryker away from me. I knelt down and faced him with a comforting smile. Ryker stared at me and I whispered to him, “Go with them, Ryker. I’ll come for you soon.” His wide, frightened eyes met mine, and it was like a knife twisting in my gut. But I had to do this. Once Ryker was safely out of earshot, I turned back to Giselle. There was no more pretending. No mo
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 299: End of Deception
Astrid’s POV:Killian’s words hung in the air, heavy and sharp. My chest tightened as I watched the shock ripple through the crowd, each revelation unraveling the lies Giselle had built her world around. My mind was racing, and I could feel my pulse quicken as Killian’s accusations cut deeper and deeper into her. Every word, every truth he spoke chipped away at the facade she had worn for so long.Ryker is not her son.The thought crashed over me like a wave, nearly knocking the breath out of me. Ryker... not hers. I’d never considered it before. But as I stood there, hearing Killian’s voice, the pieces began to fall into place. The coldness I had seen in Giselle, the distance between her and Ryker — it all made sense now. She had never treated him like a mother would treat her own child, and now I knew why. He wasn’t her child.But then, the question struck me like lightning — where is her real daughter? Who is she, and where had Giselle hidden her?I stared at Giselle, watching

Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 340: Eavesdropper
Asha’s POVThe soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots was the only sound as I walked through the forest path.My mother’s grave is far from the Packhouse. She is buried in a secluded area, giving her peace. The cool air carried a solemn stillness that matched my mood. Visiting her grave was my sanctuary, a place where I could let my guard down and remember the woman who raised me.That’s when I saw him — Andros, my older brother, standing at the edge of the woods. The shadows from the trees seemed to engulf him, and his posture was rigid, alert. Was he here to visit Mother too? I wondered. My heart swelled at the thought. It wasn’t often that Andros and I shared these quiet moments. As the crowned Alpha he has too many responsibilities placed on his shoulder. He was always busy. I opened my mouth to call out to him but stopped short when another figure emerged from the shadows. My brows furrowed. The man wore a black hoodie that concealed most of his face, and his movements wer
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 339: Resentment
Asha’s POVI staggered back, shaking my head in disbelief. “That’s not true. That can’t be true,” I mumbled as if I was just trying to convince myself.“I was left with no choice, Asha. Your mother—Luna Jamaica—was my brother’s mate. He was the rightful Alpha. But when he died, the Pack needed a leader. And I… I was the only option. I was forced to marry her to maintain stability. To keep this Pack from falling apart.”My father’s eyes turned red as he tried his best to hold back his tears. My heart wrenched as I feel for his pain. This is the first time I ever saw my father look so vulnerable. “I gave up everything. My mate. My happiness. My future. I gave it all away for this Pack, for a life I never wanted. And every day since, I have lived with that choice. With the weight of betraying my mate, of turning my back on the only woman I ever loved.”I stared at him, my body trembling as the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket. Everything I had believed, everything I
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 338: Legitimate Child
Asha’s POVI squared my shoulders as I faced my father, my eyes narrowing at him in anger. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, the weight of years of frustration and jealousy boiling to the surface. My father simply stood before me, his usual composed demeanor tinged with a rare expression of exasperation, but I didn’t care. Not anymore“She doesn’t even call you Father!” I spat, my voice trembling with anger. “Not once in her life has Astrid ever acknowledged you as her father. And yet, you treat her like she’s some prized treasure. Why, Father? Because you feel guilty for neglecting her? She’s just your illegitimate child! It’s best that she realize she’s not special!” I blurted out angrily.Alpha Theron’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. That silence — his silence — was what always drove me mad. He would never defend himself, never justify his actions, as if I were the one being unreasonable. But I wasn’t.“She’s ungrateful!” I continued, pacing back and forth as my em
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 337: The Solution
Astrid’s POVThe silence after the call ended was heavier than the words I hadn’t spoken.I remained frozen, clutching the phone as though its weight could tether me to the choices I had made. Each unspoken truth tightened like a vice around my chest, each lie stealing the air I so desperately needed.I wanted nothing more than to turn back, to run to Ryker and finally tell him who I really was. But how could I? How could I be so selfish, so reckless? I knew the truth about my condition — how dangerous and uncertain everything is. How could I let him get close to me, knowing how it will all end?The thought of Ryker loving me, only to lose me, was unbearable. I couldn’t let him go through that pain, the kind of pain that had already hollowed me out. I knew it too well — the ache of losing someone you’d give anything to keep. The searing, unrelenting agony of losing my husband, the devastation of outliving my child. I wouldn’t wish that torment on anyone, least of all Ryker.A shiv
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 336: Distance
Killian’s POVIt had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother. At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother? I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him. How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead. In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother — she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him. But now… I’m no longer just worried about Ryker’s difficult questions now I wasn’t just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven’t asked me any question. In the days that had passed, he hadn’t asked even once. Not a word about Giselle. No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 335: Birthright
Alpha Theron’s POVAndros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out. “You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title? What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable. She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that. She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it! My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”I took a step forward, my voice unwavering.
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 334: Crowned Alpha
Alpha Theron’s POVA long silence settled over the room after I asked the question, heavy and tense. I kept my gaze fixed on Andros, waiting, hoping for a sign of remorse or an explanation. But what I saw instead shook me to my core. Andros looked back at me, and in that gaze, I saw a stranger. The gentle son I thought I knew was gone, and in his place stood a man cold and unyielding.Then he spoke, his voice sharper and louder than I had ever heard it, filled with a defiance that sent a chill through me. “You want to know why I did it?” he snapped, his tone a mix of anger and something darker. “I did it for us, for this pack. I was doing you a favor by doing what you could never bring yourself to do.”His words stunned me. Andros had never raised his voice to me, not once in all the years I’d known him. Even when I was harsh or demanding — as I always was, he had always accepted it in silence, never challenging me. But now, he stood before me, speaking without restraint, and I
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 333: Performance
Alpha Theron’s POVAndros entered, his eyes darting between me and the book lying on the desk. He tried to mask his apprehension, but I caught the flicker of recognition in his gaze. I wasted no time.“Did Beta Alek give you this book?” I asked, my voice steady but taut.He blinked, feigning innocence. “I’ve seen the book before, yes. Beta Alek showed it to me and explained what it was.” His eyes held mine, the picture of calm. “Is there something wrong?”Besidehim, Beta Alek looked stricken but hopeful. He took a step forward, his voice shaking with urgency. “Andros, explain everything to your father and tell him that I’m being wronged. I gave you the book didn’t I? I even told you to burn the book for me,” Beta Alek spoke up, trusting that my son would prove his innocence. Andros raised his brows, feigning confusion. “What do you mean?” he asked, his tone soft and innocent.“That didn’t happen. You never gave me the book — I’ve never even touched it.”Beta Alek’s face went pale
Reclaiming My Broken Luna Chapter 332: Facade
Alpha Theron’s POVThe moment Astrid left my office, I reached through the Pack Link, calling for Beta Alek.My voice came out raw and unfiltered, the unmistaken anger pulsed through the link sending their wolves into submission. I could sense Beta Alek’s panic, could feel his wolf bristle at the force of my command. He knew I wasn’t pleased.Moments later, the door opened, and Alek entered, his face pale, but his steps were urgent.I didn’t give him a chance to speak before hurling the book at him. It hit him squarely in the face, making him stagger. As he caught the book, his face drained of color even further when recognition flared in his eyes.“Didn’t I tell you to burn that book?” My voice was low, lethal, and I didn’t miss the way he trembled at each word.Alek fell to his knees, the weight of his guilt bearing down on him. “Alpha,” he choked out, “I admit my irresponsibility. I failed you. I’m willing to accept any punishment for my insubordination,” he answered readily, pr
