Rebirth of the Broken Luna A Second Chance at Luna's Heart novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463

“And Shawn,” I said, the name tasting bitter.

“Shawn,” Celeste confirmed. “Seventeen years old, newly manifested plasma manipulation abilities. Range estimated at over two hundred yards. Intensity sufficient to completely disintegrate targets on contact. No apparent fatigue or power limitations during extended combat. Effectively a long-range weapon with unlimited ammunition.”

‘Don’t forget Lyn,” Marcus added. “Zade’s mate. Gravity manipulation and self-healing abilities. Could incapacitate multiple enemies simultaneously during the rescue. Also serves as field medic, making him strategically valuable beyond just combat applications.”

I stared at the profiles, feeling my rage shift into something colder and more focused.

These were the people who’d humiliated me. Who’d destroyed my carefully laid plans. Who’d made my coalition look weak and ineffective.

And they were all absurdly powerful.

“We can’t win through conventional assault,” I said slowly. “Not when they have that kind of firepower and tactical coordination.”

“Agreed,” Marcus said. “Direct confrontation plays to their strengths-especially the children’s abilities. Riley sees attacks coming. Lake can evacuate anyone in danger. Shawn can eliminate threats from distance. We’d be walking into a massacre.”

“So we don’t fight them directly,” I said, my mind working through alternatives. “We remove them from the equation. Neutralize their most powerful assets before they can be deployed.”

“Assassination?” Celeste asked carefully.

“Targeted elimination,” I corrected. “And not all of them. Just the ones who make direct action impossible.”

I moved to the map, circling specific locations.

Lake are the priority targets,” I said. “The precognition is our biggest problem. As long as Riley can see our moves before n, we can’t surprise them. And Lake’s portals mean they can respond to threats across vast distances instantaneously.”

hey’re five years old,” Marcus pointed out. “Heavily protected. Probably never alone. Getting close enough to eliminate them would

uire-”

“Infiltration,” I interrupted. “We’ve already placed operatives in several packs. People who’ve withdrawn support from Xenois’s coalition but haven’t openly joined us. They have access, credibility, reasons to be near pack leadership.”

“You want to use sleeper agents,” Celeste said.

“I want to use resources we’ve already invested in,” I corrected. “We’ve spent months placing people in strategic positions. Time to activate them.”

“The risk of exposure-

“Is worth it if we eliminate the precognitive child,” I said firmly. “Without Riley’s foresight, they’re fighting blind. They might still win through superior numbers or tactics, but at least we’d have a chance.”

I moved to another section of the map.

“Shawn is secondary priority,” I continued. “He’s powerful but less strategically critical. His abilities are purely offensive-devastating but limited in application. If we can force situations where his plasma blasts would cause collateral damage, he becomes a liability instead of an asset.”

“And Lyn?” Marcus asked.

“Lyn is mate to an alpha,” I said. “Killing him would trigger mate bond grief that could incapacitate Zade. That makes him valuable, but also well-protected. We’d need perfect conditions to attempt elimination.”

I studied the map for a long moment, weighing options and calculating odds.
