Rebirth of the Broken Luna A Second Chance at Luna's Heart novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489

SHAWN

I was halfway through copying the chemical equation Professor Morrison had written on the board when every alarm in the school went off

simultaneously.

Not the fire alarm. Not the lockdown alarm we’d practiced during drills.

Every. Single. Alarm.

The sound was deafening, disorienting, designed to signal the kind of emergency that required immediate evacuation. Professor Morrison’s hand froze

mid-sentence, her expression shifting from confusion to alarm in the space of a heartbeat.

Then the windows exploded inward.

Glass shattered in a cascade of glittering shards as dark shapes poured through the openings. I had maybe half a second to register what I was seeing- nightwalkers, their eyes reflecting red in the fluorescent lighting, moving with predatory speed that shouldn’t have been possible in broad daylight.

Except it wasn’t broad daylight anymore.

Someone had darkened the sky. Magic, probably. Thick clouds that blocked out the sun, creating artificial twilight that let nightwalkers operate freely.

Jerome had figured out how to attack during school hours.

My plasma abilities activated before conscious thought caught up. I felt the familiar heat building under my skin, saw my hands begin to glow with that

distinctive blue-white energy.

The first nightwalker was three feet from Professor Morrison when I vaporized it.

The plasma blast hit center mass, and the nightwalker simply ceased to exist. Didn’t burn, didn’t disintegrate slowly-just gone. Reduced to component

atoms in the space between one breath and the next.

The entire classroom froze.

Students who’d been screaming stopped mid-shriek. Professor Morrison stared at where the nightwalker had been, theme, then back at the empty

space.

‘Shawn?’ Chase said from beside me, his voice tight with shock.

‘Get down!’ I shouted, because two more nightwalkers were coming through the windows.

I took them both out with sequential blasts, the plasma radiation so hot I could feel it warming the air around me. The chemistry lab equipment on the

nearest table started smoking from proximity to the heat.

More shapes were pouring through the windows now. Not just nightwalkers-I saw fae with their unnaturally beautiful features twisted into expressions of violence, saw what looked like werewolves that definitely weren’t from our pack, saw creatures i couldn’t unmediately identify but that were absolutely

hostile.

Jerome wasn’t sending a small team. He was sending an army.

Chapter 489

“We need to move! I said, grabbing Chase and pulling him toward the door. ‘Everyone, get to the hallway! Now!

For once, high school students demonstrated good survival instincts. They ran.

Professor Morrison was herding them out, her werewolf instincts apparently overriding her shock at seeing a student casually vaporize attackers. I stayed at the back of the group, positioning myself between the fleeing students and the creatures still pouring through the windows.

A fae lunged at me, moving with that liquid grace their kind was known for. I hit it with a plasma blast and watched it scream as the energy consumed

it from the inside out.

“Shawn, behind you!” Kamsi’s voice, sharp with warning.

1 spun and fired without thinking. Another nightwalker, this one wearing tactical gear that suggested military training. The plasma blast punched through the armor like it was paper and took the nightwalker with it.

“How many can you do that to?” Kamsi asked, appearing beside me with Izzy and Alex. The Underground, all of them, had found each other in the

chaos.

As many as necessary,” I said, taking out two more attackers that were trying to flank us. “But we need to get to the elementary building. Riley and Lake

Are probably fine,” Alex interrupted. “They’ve got portal abilities and precognition. But yeah, we should check.”

We moved as a group into the hallway, and the scene there was pure chaos.

Students were running in every direction, some toward emergency exits, some toward designated safe rooms, most just trying to get away from the creatures that were systematically hunting through the school.

I saw teachers trying to coordinate evacuations while fighting off attackers. Saw older students with defensive abilities trying to protect younger ones. Saw security guards who were overwhelmingly outnumbered and outmatched.

“This way!” I shouted to the chemistry class students who were still following me-about fifteen of them, including the three alphas who’d bullied me on

my first day.

One of them-the tall one who’d shoved me-was staring at me with a mixture of awe, and terror. You just killed like six of them.”

“Seven,’ I corrected, taking out another nightwalker that had spotted our group. Stay close to me and you’ll survive this

“Why are you helping us?’ one of the others asked. “We were assholes to you.”

“We’ll discuss your bullying issues later, I said. Right now, just don’t die.”

A group of fae blocked the hallway ahead, their glamour magic creating illusions that made it hard to determine which figures were real and schich were false images designed to confuse.

“Kamsi, I said, “can you-

‘On it, she interrupted, her witch magic flaring as she stripped away the glamuu. The illusions vanished, revealing three actual far in defensive

positions.

I took them all out with a sustained plasma burst that lit up the hallway like a miniature sun.
