Rise Of A Shattered Luna (Natalie) by Kave Derry novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 The North

Baron’s POV

“What did you just say?” I demanded making the attendant stammer.

“I said… the… the DNA results for the Luna and the Stones are out.”

The words were like a physical strike.

I instinctively looked back at her through the glass door, she looked so small beneath the heavy furs, her dark hair sprayed out against the pillows.

She had no idea that the world she thought she knew was about to be changed.

“Send me the results,” I commanded. “And forward Flynn’s report too… I want everything.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

The line went dead.

I stood there for a few moments, while Raze paced in the back of my mind.

“The scent was right,’ he growled. ‘I told you. If she’s theirs then she definitely has a wolf but who suppressed her wolf?”

My phone chimed as two files landed in my inbox.

My fingers, usually steady enough to perform surgery, shook slightly as I tapped the screen.

I opened the first document.

It was a comprehensive genetic map, comparing Natalie’s markers to the samples from Waylon and Ruby Stone during their brief visit to the territory.

I scrolled past the technical jargoes

Chargon and moved straight to the bottom line.

Probability of Parentage: 99.99%. Result: Match.

My suspicions were right; she was the child.

The weight of the realization hit me.

Waylon and Ruby had spent twenty years mourning a daughter who was being raised as a

servant in a house just a few packs away.

They had wept over an empty grave while Natalie was being whipped by Sharon and ignored by Jensen.

I looked back at the mark on Natalie’s neck, visible even from here. Through the bond, I felt her peace, her exhaustion.

I pocketed the phone and stepped back into the room, closing the door silently.

I sat on the edge of the bed, watching her.

I wanted to wake her and tell her about everything but not yet.

But one thing is for sure, I would not let them take her away from me.

Flynn’s POV

I stood by the window, my eyes burning from lack of sleep, watching my mother.

She hadn’t moved for hours.

She sat on the edge of the visitor’s chair, her fingers twisting a damp handkerchief, her gaze fixed on the door, lost in thought.

My father, Waylon, stood behind her, his hands resting on her shoulders.

He looked a decade older than he had a week

The hope was killing them both.

I pulled it out and saw the encrypted file from the lab,

I didn’t breathe as I opened it.

I scrolled past the headers, my vision blurring for a second.

Then I saw it.

The confirmation: The 99.9% match.

The biological proof that the girl I had donated my skin graft for was the baby I had once held in my arms.

A sound escaped me; a strange, choked–up mix of a sob and a laugh.

My knees felt weak as I turned to my parents.

“Dad, Mom-” my voice broke, tears spilling over before I could stop them. “Baron’s mate… Natalie… she’s my sister! She’s my real sister!”

The silence in the room shattered as my mom lunged forward and snatched the phone from my trembling hands.

When her eyes hit the result, she collapsed into a state of uncontrollable sobbing.

It was

sound of twenty years of poison being purged from her soul.

“My daughter didn’t die!” she shrieked, the sound tearing through my chest. “She’s alive…. she’s still alive! Why didn’t I investigate back then? Why did I believe them?”

She hit her chest with her fist, as if trying to restart a heart that had been broken for two decades.

Dad stepped forward, his own face wet with tears, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his chest.

“Ruby, don’t do this. Don’t do this to yourself,” he whispered, no one could have known. We all saw the child was gone… The doctors told us… your condition at the time was so fragile… I was terrified you would fall apart completely, so I buried the baby quickly.”

I watched my father, seeing the agony in his eyes.

He had tried to protect her from the truth of a dead child, never imagining that the “death” was a lie.

If only he had been more careful.

IWho would have dared? I wondered

my blood boiling.

Could it have been that other couple from other pack?

No.

They were terrible people, but they didn’t have any reason to do such… they were also victims

of the incident.

Someone else had pulled the strings.

Chapter 131 The North

Mom’s cries grew harsher, making my chest tighten.

I remembered the day she was born.

I was just a boy, but I remembered the tiny, soft weight of her.

I had barely gotten the chance to hold her before they told me she was cold… Before they told me she was gone.

My childhood ended that day.

I grew up watching Mom try to kill herself, we had spent our lives just trying to keep her breathing.

And all that time, Natalie was alive.

I looked at my mother, who was sobbing so hard she was starting to turn blue.

“Mom, don’t cry anymore,” I said, kneeling beside her and taking her hand.

My voice was gentle, but I felt like a wolf ready to kill. “You need to take care of yourself. Natalie… my sister… her health has only just recovered from the fire. You can’t let her see you like this… you have to be strong for her.”

“Flynn is right,” Dad said, shifting between Mom and I. “Think of this as a blessing… we’ve found our daughter. We know she’s alive. From now on, we’ll give her everything. We will make up for every second she’s missed. But only if you’re well enough to do it, Ruby. She needs a mother, not a ghost.”

Ruby gasped for breath, as she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and nodded fiercely.

“Yes, yes! I’ll live well,” she vowed, her voice trembling but determined. “I’ll make up for everything we’ve owed her. But… Flynn… she’s with Baron now. He’s a dangerous man, and after all she’s suffered… what if she blames us? What if she thinks we didn’t want her? What if she hates us for not searching?”

The fear in her voice

my heart.

Waylon soothed her, keeping his voice steady. “She won’t. Our blood flows in her veins. This is fate, Ruby. It’s karma. Just focus on getting well so you can fight for her when the time comes. I’ve already heard whispers of how she was treated at the Nightfang pack.”

My father’s eyes

red to me.

Even before the results were in, he had sent me to dig into the background of Natalie.

What I had discovered made my skin crawl.

The way Sharon had used her as a footstool.

The way Jensen had used her gift to build his empire and then discarded her in a fire to marry the fraud sister.

Rage flared in my gut.

I had nearly ran straight to the Nightfang pack the moment I read the report, ready to tear Jensen, her so called family, and Sharon apart with

my bare hands.

But I had also seen the reports of what Baron had done.

He had saved her.

He had mated her.

“Flynn,” Dad said, his voice cold as ice. “Notify our men. I want the Nightfang fully investigated. I want to know exactly how we can back at them.”

“Understood,” I said. My eyes flashed with joy as I nodded.
