The first thing she became aware of was warmth.

Not the sheets, though those were softer than anything she'd ever slept on in her life, even those in her now "former" bedroom. It wasn't the sunlight pouring through the tall windows across the room, or even the lingering heat of the bath he'd forced her into the night before.

No.

It was him.

His arm was wrapped around her waist, his chest pressed to her back as his breath moved slowly against the curve of her neck, rising and falling steadily.

Samantha didn't dare move.

Her hair still smelled faintly of the lavender bath oils he'd poured into the water. Her skin felt sensitive wherever his fingers had touched her. Every bruise, every mark he'd left on her body pulsed a little when her heart beat too fast.

She shifted an inch, only enough to see his face.

He looked… different like this. The hard lines around his mouth eased and tension in his jaw loosened. His lashes, darker than she remembered, rested against his cheek.

  • The Billionaire Who Bought Me The Moon   Chapter 124 - She Knows

    Every time I tried to stay focused, something was bound to come up and distract me. I reminded myself I had only one goal, to leave this place forever and never come back. And to do that, I had to stop making these people my problem, because what exactly was I going to do about their god-damned mole? I'd already tried the library earlier with no luck, but it looked like I had to try again. There had to be something there about a way out of here. I took the familiar path to the dusty library and I slipped inside, hoping no one would notice me sneaking away from all the hammering and growling outside. It wasn't like I was doing anything useful out there anyway. If anything, I decided the most useful thing I could do was figure out how to not die in this world. But before I could start going through the shelves, I heard a strange shuffling sound, like someone was trying to cover their tracks. I stopped to listen, but then the sound stopped. Then, after a long pause, the door cre

    "No. I will never let you reject me for this nobody."Lyra's voice shouted, pointing her finger straight at me.She stepped fully towards us with her chin high and her red hair catching the light. For once, the elegance in her every movement couldn't hide the rage rolling off her.Rowan shifted, but his hand stayed wrapped around me. "Lyra...""Don't," she snapped, her voice trembling just enough to betray the crack beneath. "Don't you dare pretend this means nothing. I've stood by your side, I have carried the bond the goddess forced upon me, and I have endured your coldness. And now I find you..." she gestured at me, "...throwing it all away for her?"I bristled. "I'm right here, you know. If you're going to call me names, at least have the guts to do it to my face."Her gaze shifted to me. "Fine. You don't belong here. You don't belong with him. You are a mistake the goddess will soon correct.""Funny," I shot back, folding my arms, "because last I checked, your bond hasn't stopped

    "Well?" Mattias's voice cut through like a blade. "Have you?" I opened my mouth but nothing came out. My throat had gone completely dry. How the hell could anyone possibly expect me to choose?! Kieran turned toward me, and god, his face. Worry and fury and confusion were still there, but underneath it was something that made my chest hurt with guilt. "Iris," he said, and his voice was softer than I'd ever heard it. "Tell me you haven't fallen for his lies." "It's a little more complicated than that. Okay? I just..." Suddenly Mattias whistled three times, like he'd done a couple of times before. Then he straightened, looking satisfied. Like he'd just done something he was proud of. "Wait... What did you--" "Thank you so much, Elowyn. I couldn't have done any of this without you." Kieran's eyes cut to me, "Elowyn. What have you done?" Out of nowhere, humans poured out of the darkness—dozens of them, maybe more, faces smeared with mud and something dark that made them look like

    That evening, I discovered that every muscle in my body was beyond fucked. My arms ached, my legs burned, and my ribs felt like they'd been violently rearranged. Rowan had called it "light training." If that was light, I was afraid of what heavy looked like. Still, I dragged myself through the motions of Luna duty, which mostly meant pretending to supervise while other people actually did useful things like rebuilding the burned council room and courtyard. Lyra wasn't around, thank God, but that didn't mean that the rest of the day was going to be peaceful. Because of course, I eventually went back to my room to try and recover, and that was when Kieran found me. He stepped into my room like he owned it, which he technically did. His dark eyes scanned me up and down, and I swear he could smell the exhaustion rolling off me before his gaze narrowed at the faint bruises showing across my forearms. "What happened to you?" His voice was deadly calm. I forced a smile. "Tripped. You k
