My Family Bet on My Love. I Walked Away Chapter 10
When New Year came around a year later, I didn’t go home.I wasn’t making a point. The stability tests on my new potion were at a stage where I couldn’t leave.Three days beforehand, Mom asked, “Coming home for New Year?”“I can’t.”Her reply came quickly.“Okay. Don’t book a flight, then. It’s a long way to go.”Half an hour later, Dad sent me some money.The note said, “Get yourself something good to eat.”Bella went further and mailed me a whole box of snacks.A note lay on top when I opened it.“No bugs hidden in here. Promise.”Below it, she’d added, “That’s not another prank. There really aren’t any!”I laughed for a good while.That evening, a few of us from the infirmary had the night off and went down to the lake to grill some food.I’d just sat down when a message arrived from the head potion maker.My improved healing potion had passed its final tests. A bottle made with the old formula lasted only a day once opened. Mine kept working for seven days. The border patrol would

Three months later, I returned to Moonfrost with a group of potion makers from the infirmary. Several packs were holding a joint potions workshop there.I didn’t tell my family.On the day it ended, Declan was waiting outside my hotel. I didn’t know how he’d heard I was there.He seemed far less sure of himself this time.“Could we talk for five minutes?”I checked the time.“Okay.”He kept his eyes down.“Bella deleted the group. Your parents have stopped doing all that too.”I nodded.“That’s good.”He managed a weak smile.“I thought if they liked me, we’d all get along once you became my Luna. Then my mother told me I had it backward.”“I should’ve been thinking about how you felt. Not everyone else.”I said nothing.He took a small box from his pocket. Inside was the pen he’d given me when I first started learning to make potions.“You left this at my place.”I took it.“Thank you.”He looked at me.“I’m not trying to ask for anything. I just wanted to give it back.”This time, he

After my parents went home, Bella sent me friend requests for three days.The first said, “Sienna, I was wrong, okay?”The second said, “Are you really never going to talk to me again?”The third said, “I want to tell you something.”I didn’t accept any of them.On the fourth day, Mom sent me a video Bella had recorded.She was sitting in my old room with her so-called record book in front of her.Dad attacked. Grandma’s wolf failing. Mom poisoned with wolfsbane.Page after page.For once, there were tear tracks on her face.“Sienna, I watched all the old videos today.”She was quiet for several seconds.“I feel sick watching myself.”She pulled up the recording from last year.I was wearing my white coat for the potion exam. My face went pale when I got the call about Dad’s “attack.”I ran, crying, without even stopping to tie my shoes.Behind the camera, my whole family was laughing.Bella’s voice was hoarse as she watched it.“I used to think you were just easy to fool. I don’t know

After Declan went home, my parents couldn’t stay away either.A few days later, they got permission to visit Silver Moon and came without telling me.I finished making potions for the day and went downstairs. Mom was sitting in the reception area, holding a box of maple cookies. Dad stood beside her, looking uncomfortable.Mom’s eyes filled as soon as she saw me.“You’ve lost weight.”I didn’t answer that.“What are you doing here?”Dad cleared his throat.“Let’s talk at your place.”“The infirmary arranged my housing. I can’t really have visitors.”They’d actually given me an apartment of my own.I just didn’t want my parents inside it.Dad looked taken aback, but he followed me to a nearby café.As soon as we sat down, Mom pushed the cookies toward me.“You used to love these when you were little.”I glanced at the box and looked away.“That was Bella.”Mom’s hand hovered over the table. After a moment, she awkwardly pulled the box back.“Oh. I got that mixed up.”I said nothing.Dad

It was almost eleven when I landed at Silver Moon.The colleague who met me was a young woman with short hair. Her name was Nora. She was a potion maker at the infirmary too, studying under a witch.She took one of my suitcases and asked as we walked, “Hungry? The restaurant downstairs from your place is still open. They make a great cream of mushroom soup.”My answer came without thinking.“Oh, no. I don’t want to put you out.”She glanced back, surprised.“By getting dinner? We’ll be making potions together tomorrow. You don’t have to be so polite.”I paused, then smiled.“Okay.”It was such an ordinary thing to say, but I felt myself relax.No one asked why I’d moved so far from home. No one was betting on my reaction.Maybe I could start letting my guard down.Nora didn’t pry. She just handed me a menu.I ordered mushroom soup and roasted vegetables.When the soup arrived, she pushed the bread basket toward me, then checked a message from the infirmary.She wasn’t fussing over me o

After fifteen minutes, the laughter at home began to fade.Bella stared at her phone, refusing to admit defeat.“Well, look at her. She’s actually getting better at this. Fifteen minutes and she still hasn’t turned around.”Declan frowned and called me again.My phone was off.Dad wasn’t worried yet.“She said she was taking a trip. Maybe she just doesn’t want to be bothered.”Something occurred to Mom. She got up and headed for my room.“That suitcase she had was pretty big.”All four of them froze when she opened the door.Half the closet was empty. All my documents were gone.So were the potion notes and training materials on my desk.A folded sheet of paper lay beside the bed.Declan picked it up. His face went white as he read it.It was the elder’s confirmation that our Bonding Ceremony had been canceled.Dated yesterday.Bella tried to brush it off.“She’s probably just trying to scare us. Where would she even go?”No one answered.Declan opened a drawer.His spare key was in an
