Rebirth of the Broken Luna A Second Chance at Luna's Heart novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

SILVIA

“Go ahead,” I interrupted, my wolf fully visible now. “Hurt him. Torture him. Kill him if you’re brave enough. But understand this: you’re not dealing with a desperate prisoner trying to protect her family. You’re dealing with someone who’s done far worse than anything you’re threatening. Someone who’s burned nests and slaughtered enemies and made entire supernatural factions afraid to speak the Blackwood name.

I pulled against the chains, feeling them strain. Not enough to break-hot yet-but enough to make my point.

‘I am Silvia Blackwood. The Blood Luna. And if you think forty years of domestication has made me soft, has made me forget how to be the monster you’re so afraid of-you are catastrophically wrong.”

The cell door clanged open and more figures poured in-nightwalkers and werewitches, enough to restrain me properly. They forced me back down, added more chains, tightened the restraints until I could barely move.

But I kept snarling, kept fighting, kept making sure they understood exactly what they’d captured.

“This is a mistake, one of them muttered-a young nightwalker who looked barely out of his teens. She killed Sophia. Did you know that? Sophia Kingston, the one who murdered Xena Blackwood? Silvia tortured her for days before burning her alive. I heard the screams from the

next territory over.”

“That’s different,” the werewitch said, though she sounded less certain now. ‘Sophia was a murderer. This is justice.”

“Justice?” the young nightwalker laughed, the sound slightly hysterical “This is suicide. When Alpha Xenois finds out we have his mother

“He’ll negotiate, the female nightwalker insisted. ‘Hell make concessions to get her back. That’s how this works.”

“You don’t know him,” I said, my voice rough from struggling. “You don’t know my son. He won’t negotiate with terrorists. He’ll come for me-come for both of us-and he’ll bring the full force of the Blackwood pack down on whoever took us. And when he’s done, there won’t be enough left of your little rebellion to identify the bodies.”

“Big talk from someone in chains,” the werewitch said.

“Not talk,” I corrected. ‘Promise. I raised that boy. I taught him everything he knows about strategy and warfare and what it takes to lead.

You think he learned compassion and progressive values from me? No. He learned those despite me. But the ruthlessness? The absolute

conviction that family comes first? That he got from watching Samuel and me for decades.”

I managed a smile that was all teeth and threat.

“So go ahead. Keep me prisoner. Threaten my grandsons. Try to force my son to abandon his vision. But understand that you’ve just declared war on the Blackwood pack. And wars with us don’t end in negotiation-they end in total victory or total destruction. There is no middle ground.”

Footsteps echoed from deeper in whatever building we were in. Heavy deliberate, carrying authority.

The captors moved aside as a new figure entered-another nightwalker, but older, carrying himself with the kind of confidence that came

from centuries of existence.

Chapter 391

I recognized him immediately.

Jerome. Elder nightwalker, leader of one of the largest nests in the region. And brother to the nightwalker Xenois currently held prisoner- the one who’d been involved in some plot against the pack that I’d never gotten full details about.

“Well, well,” Jerome said, studying me with cold amusement. “The infamous Blood Luna, chained and caged. I must admit, I didn’t think we’d actually succeed in capturing you. Your reputation suggested you’d be far more difficult to subdue.”

“We drugged her mate first,” the werewitch explained. “Made him vulnerable. She was so focused on protecting him, she didn’t see the

secondary attack coming.”

Of course. They’d used Samuel as bait, as distraction. Knowing I’d prioritize his safety over my own, knowing I’d leave myself exposed to

ensure he survived.

It was a smart tactic. One I might have used myself, once upon a time
