Hades' Cursed Luna novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Curated

Hades

"There’s no such wing," I said carefully, watching her face. "Not on any blueprint. Not in any schematic. I’ve had them all reviewed."

Eve turned to me fully now, expression shifting from tight control to something far more visceral—shock.

"No..." she breathed. "That’s not possible. I’ve been there. I lived there. It was the primary containment sector for Hollowed units. I was kept there after my wolf was taken. That was where i waa experimented on.Sector D. West of the archival lab. It’s real."

The silence was heavy, my jaw clenching.

Silence expanded like a vacuum, swallowing every breath in the room.

"If it existed," Gallint said first, calm and certain, "we’d know."

"And if it did," Silas added, his tone clipped, "it would be on the schematics. Lunar Heights was mapped down to the plumbing before the Valmonts ever claimed it. We’ve reviewed those maps a hundred times."

Kael folded his arms slowly. "I’m with them on this one. Eve, if Faculty Fourteen existed inside the Heights, it would’ve pinged during the data sweep. The servers we tapped—everything is centralized. There’s nothing labeled as that. Nothing even similar."

I could see it happening in real time.

Eve’s entire stance shifted.

Her arms dropped.

Her fingers curled.

Her lips parted, but no words came out at first—only the sound of her breath catching, too fast, too shallow. She muttered something under it. Again. Then again. Her gaze dropped to the floor.

"They would take me there," she said, not looking at anyone. " Always cold. Always quiet. I remember the lights. They buzzed. And the smell—it was like... copper and static. I know it was real. I know it was—"

"Eve," I cut in, gently but firmly, stepping toward her, "were you ever... conscious? When they took you there?"

She stopped.

Completely.

Her mouth opened again, but this time no words came. Just the growing wideness of her eyes as the memory fractured and rearranged behind them.

"No..." she whispered. "I... No, I wasn’t. Not once. They always sedated me."

The realization slammed into her with terrifying clarity.

"They didn’t want me to know where it was."

The entire room seemed to lean forward.

"Because it’s not in the Heights," Kael said softly.

Eve turned to him, barely breathing.

"There’s a secondary facility," he continued, voice tight. "A shadow site. Off-grid. Unlisted. Hidden outside the Lunar Heights perimeter."

"That’s where they kept the Hollowed," Silas added grimly. "Where they keep her—Ellen."

My fists clenched. "That’s where the horn is."

Eve’s voice cracked through the tension, sharper than before. "And we’ve been watching the wrong place."

Kael swore under his breath.

Gallinti muttered, "Every plan, every theory... all based on an illusion."

"They fed us the curated version of their palace," I said, anger curling hot in my chest. "While the real war is still happening in the shadows."

For a long moment, no one moved.
