I Am The Luna

Chapter 0447

“No, I know, it’s just don’t take this personally. I can have you set up somewhere else if you prefer, I just-”

“I’m fine my dear Luna, but it’s probably my pride. I’m not staying where I’m not wanted, and I don’t want you saying anything to your brother. Please.”

She frowns, nodding, and we fall into silence. “I wanted to ask about your scars… how did you get them?” she asks.

I smile wryly, looking at my arms. “In the caves when we were to attack, and Sebastian King brought them down. He had poison in the bomb. I protected my face but… Yeah, these are staying.”

“I’m so sorry…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Don’t be, I’m alive. That’s all that matters. Anyway, could you let Zade know I’m leaving? He knows how to contact me,” I reply, knowing I’m being a little irrational, but I just need to get away from here.

“I will…” she says. “Eat up.”

I force myself to eat the food, and although I know I won’t get such a good meal again in a while, I’m not able to stomach it. I make casual conversation with her until she takes the

dishes and leaves.

The moment she’s gone, I begin grabbing my things; Zade has my laptop, although he had given me my bag, but I will get it from him some other time. Slipping on some boots, I slip out of my room and bid Ada goodbye for now.

I’ll see you soon Ad, soon.

I leave my room, walking down the hall when I stop and look back down the way I came, down the other side of the hall.

The urge to give him two cents of my mind tempts me and no matter how much I try to fight against it the urge only grows.

Turning, I follow his scent, thinking he can be a coward for all I care, but I am not going to make this easier for him. It’s not long before I sniff him out and try the handle on the door.

Locked. (2

I press my ear against the door, wondering if I should knock, but I can hear the faint sound

of a shower running.

Frowning, I crouch down and open my bag, getting to work on the lock. Three minutes later,

I’m in.

Zipping up my bag, I shoulder it as I look towards the bathroom door. Glancing at the floor, I see the clothes he was wearing earlier tossed onto the chair.

Reaching for the bathroom door handle, I slowly turn it and this one opens, and I’m hit by a

douse of steam.

There he is, butt–naked in the shower, and for a moment I find my gaze raking over the god

in front of me.

At that very moment, he seems to realise he’s not alone and I don’t waste time. Dropping my bag, I yank open the glass door, making sure I don’t look down.

My heart is racing when I look into those sexy grey eyes, his wet hair falling over his forehead, looking too fucking hot.

Do not look down.

“I, Adriana Hidalgo, reject your sorry ass. I don’t do cowards,” I say quietly, despite the harsh stab of pain in my chest. 6

There you go, do as you please. Even though I couldn’t bring myself to officially reject him, it’s enough to hurt.

He seems shocked but I guess he isn’t used to people barging in on him taking a shower.

“Listen-” His eyes blaze green and I scoff, giving him a fake smirk as I turn, grabbing my bag and making a run for it out of the room. 2

I hear him curse, my heart thundering with every single step I take. Each step I take adds to the crushing pain in my chest…

Goodbye, Alpha Payne. May you find the Luna you want, because I’m not sticking around to be treated like trash.4

I may be a street rat, I might have nothing to my name but I have self respect and pride, and I ain’t bowing or begging before anyone.
