Rebirth of the Broken Luna A Second Chance at Luna's Heart novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

XENOIS

Sophia stood up abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor as she clenched her fists, furious with what she was hearing.

“You know what? You’re right. I shouldn’t have bothered at all in the first place if this was the result of my devotion to you? This is the thanks I get for caring about you? For being here when you needed someone?”

“No one asked you to be here,” I repeated myself shaking my head as I held my temple slowly massaging it as I continued speaking.

“Yun needed you, and you abandoned him. Just like you abandoned me all those years ago.”

The words hung In the air between us, heavy with accusations and pain. Sophia’s eyes filled with tears, but I felt no sympathy for her. All I could think about was Riley, alone and probably scared, wondering where his mother had gone.

“Fine,” Sophia said, her voice shaking with tears as she nodded her head. ‘I’ll go. But don’t expect me to come running the next time

you need help.”

She grabbed her purse and stormed out of the room, leaving me alone with Thorne. The silence stretched between us, broken only by

the steady beeping of the heart monitor.

“That was harsh,” Thorne said quietly.

“It was necessary,” I replied, though part of me wondered if I had been too cruel to her. She has been in an accident recently herself and barely healed and I was lashing out on her. But I shook my head. She had healed already and her son needed her more than I needed

her. I wasn’t even sure if I needed her.

“She needs to focus on her son, not on me.”

Thorne nodded, understanding the truth in my words even though he didn’t agree with the way I said it to her, whichh was ironic

because Thorne was never a Sophia sympathizer.

“Speaking of sons,” he said carefully, “there’s something I need to tell you about Ollie.”

My heart immediately began racing, and the monitor beside me started beeping faster. “What about him? Is he hurt?”

“He’s fine now,” Thorne said quickly, raising his hands in a calming gesture as he was trying to placate me as he kept explaining. “But

there was an incident the night you collapsed. He… he had some kind of episode.*

“What kind of episode?’ I demanded, my Alpha instincts screaming that something was wrong with my son.

“He attacked Zade,’ Thorne said reluctantly. “His eyes turned red, and he developed fangs. He bit Zade hard enough to draw blood.”

Chapter 121

I stared at him in shock, not sure that I had heard him correctly. Did he know how old Ollie was? Or was there another Ollie I want

aware of, that suddenly turned 18 in the blink of an eye.

“That’s impossible. He’s five years old. Children don’t manifest wolf traits until they’re eighteen.”

“I know it’s unusual,” Thorne said. “But being under a lot of stress can trigger early manifestations in Alpha bloodlines. The separation from you, taken to an unfamiliar territory against his will, being forced to leave you behind in the rain, the emotional trauma it all combined to push his wolf to the surface.”

The thought of my son going through such an ordeal made my chest tighten with pain. “Is he okay now?”

“He is,” Thorne assured me nodding his head. “Luckily Zade’s mate was less of an asshole than Zade so I was called and told of the

situa

sent some clothes and comfort items to Zade’s territory. Things that smell like home, like you. It helped stabilize him.”

“You’ve been in contact with them?” I asked, hope slowly igniting in my chest as I thought about how this was great. If there was a

chance that communication was still allowed then…

“Minimal contact,” Thorne said carefully. “Just to make sure Ollie was okay. Zade’s pack healer said he needed familiar scents to help

his wolf settle.”

I closed my eyes, imagining my son scared and confused, his body going through changes it wasn’t ready for as I dragged my hand

across my face breathing deeply as I said to Thorne.
