All Chapters of The Broken Luna: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Dakota I lay motionless on the bed, my eyes swollen from hours of crying. Wrapping myself in a blanket, I curled up into a fetal position, seeking comfort and solace. Days blended into nights, and my sleep became restless and fragmented. I didn't know what to do anymore. The heartbreak made me feel so useless, and whenever I thought about Axton, it triggered another wave of sadness. I replayed memories in my mind, wondering how things had gone south so quickly. I looked around the room. It was cluttered with crumpled tissues and empty tissue boxes. Sarah and Elias tried to make me eat, but my appetite waned, and I barely touched the meals left on the table. They did everything possible to bring me out of this funk, but I couldn't They tried everything—comfort foods, chocolate, trying to talk me out of my sorrow. Nothing worked. I still couldn't believe that Axton cheated on me with Erika of all people, my own friend. It felt like a punch straight to my heart. I trusted them, I l

Axton Erika hadn't returned home and I wondered where she'd gone. I noticed her strange movements, coming and going as she pleased. She gave me strict instructions not to leave the house and I was growing restless, pacing back and forth in the room. My arms hung limply at my sides and my mouth felt like sandpaper. I didn't understand why everyone was so mad at me. My mum kept calling me a fool and saying my dad would recoil in his grave when he saw his proud, gallant son ruining his legacy. Feeling light-headed and losing my focus, I lay on the bed. My ears perked up at the sound of a knock on the door as I cautiously approached it. My eyes widened in surprise, seeing Elias walk in with two unfamiliar figures behind him. "What's going on?" I asked, confused and taking a step back. "Didn't you say you were mad at me?" "I am… you idiot, " Elias ground his teeth, his hard, cold eyes glaring at me. "But we're here to help you and you have to cooperate with us." "Help me? I nev

Dakota I lay in bed, happy that Axton and I were back together and missing him already. Hugging my pillow tight, I sighed,thinking about all the good times we had together. My eyes shut and I couldn't wait for this to be over. I stepped out of my room and headed to the kitchen. The sound of my feet echoed through the silent house. On my way, a German Shepherd barked with fervor. The barking was loud, with a deep resounding timbre that filled the room. I looked down and stared at the magnificent dog, with a black coat and piercing brown eyes. "Come here," I cooed at the dog. It nuzzled me with its moist nose and I laughed. "You naughty dog," I scolded playfully, reaching down to pet him. Its tail was wagging back and forth, as if saying hello. Elder Timothy stood beside me and chuckled, wearing loose-fitting pyjama pants and a soft cotton t-shirt."I see you've met my dog." "He's such a lively dog," I said with a smile, as it continued to nuzzle me. "You didn't eat dinner, I'm su

Erika My heart did clumsy flip flops when I stepped into the bedroom and saw Axton crouched on the floor, going through my stuff. I froze, and my heart pitter-pattered against my rib cage. He was frantic, digging through my underwear bag and had found some trinkets and magic potions, which were scattered on the floor. A sudden feeling of cold and discomfort rose in me, knowing that my time was up. I had to stay calm and act innocent because there was no way in hell Axton could magically come back to his senses, as the potion was so strong that it needed a stronger counter spell to negate it. The Oracle assured me that they had foreseen my victory. So, what was he looking for in my bag? "Axton. What in the name of Neptune are you searching for in my bag?" I questioned. He straightened up suddenly, like a wild animal trapped between two walls. His mouth fell open, startled, and he smiled nervously, saying, "Oh I...I...was looking for my keys." He knows. He fucking knows the trut

Dakota My pain rose and fell like sirens, and tears blinded my eyes, choking my voice. I wept aloud as the flash of wild grief ripped through me. Remembering the bouts of dark, painful memories made it difficult to find my breath. I felt guilty for being alive and anguished that I had left Erika and Sloane to deceive me. "Why?" I questioned the moon goddess. "Why did you punish me with this pain? What have I done to deserve this?" A hand softly landed on my shoulder, and when I raised my head, it was Axton standing behind me. "I'm here, baby. I'm here," he said. My body crumpled into his, and he drew me into his hug, rubbing my back. "I can't bear the pain of seeing their graves. They didn't even give me a chance to give them a proper funeral," I said, my voice choked. Axton's eyes widened in understanding. "I know how you feel, and that's why we are here for revenge." He rocked me back and forth. "Their memories live in your heart, no matter where they rest. And I'm sure they
