Semua Bab Fake Vow, True Luna: Bab 351 - Bab 360

NathanI woke up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the curtains. My eyes flicked to Olivia, who was still fast asleep next to me.Her chest was rising and falling gently, her golden hair splayed out on the pillow around her. She looked positively angelic, a stark contrast to the tense and worried expression she was wearing last night.Her still being asleep was unusual; she was usually an early riser ever since the twins were born, oftentimes beating me to the nursery in the mornings. But with the new pregnancy, I figured she needed all the rest she could get. I leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before rolling out of bed.My next stop was the nursery to check on the twins. Yawning, I made my way down the hallway, but paused when I saw the door ajar.That was strange.Olivia and I always kept it closed at night. Maybe Olivia had gone in there and forgotten to close it? I tried to shake off the unsettling feeling as I stepped into the nursery.Both El

OliviaA few days passed without incident. Nathan kept his promise to bring Edward to the Council building with him every day, and it seemed to be working so far. In fact, I even started to get a little more used to Edward being in the house in the mornings and the evenings, and I found relief in the fact that he would be gone in just another few days.However, there was still something about him that made me uneasy. I couldn’t explain it, couldn’t even fathom it, but there was just… something in his eyes. Like a distant point in front of me that I couldn’t reach, like a ghost of someone I used to know.But that was silly, and I was beginning to realize that. Edward was nothing but polite, even keeping his distance. Maybe I was just being harsh.Wednesday morning, however, had already been a roller coaster, and it wasn’t even 10 AM yet. After a sleepless night thanks to Aurora’s newfound ability to cry at a volume that could shatter glass, I was now rushing to make it to my first pren

OliviaNathan was busy fawning over the twins when he suddenly sighed, checking his watch. “Man, it’s getting late. I’ve gotta get back to work, Liv.”I nodded. “Of course. I’ll be home waiting for you later.”“I promise I won’t be late tonight,” he whispered, pulling me close, his eyes filled with sincerity. “Not like last night. Okay?”I couldn’t help it. A small smile crossed my lips, and I nodded, tilting my head back to allow Nathan to kiss me. “Okay.”He leaned down to kiss me, his hands looping through my hair and cupping the back of my neck. Even after all this time, our kisses still felt electric. I hoped it would always be like this.When he pulled away, he then bent to coo at Elliot and Aurora, who were bundled up in their stroller. They were both getting fussy, and I knew it was time for a good nap. Maybe one for me, too.“Be good for mommy, okay?” Nathan cooed.“Alright,” I said, smiling as he kissed the twins. “I’ll see you later.”“Love you,” he said as he backed away,

OliviaThe sun spilled through the curtains as I stirred awake, feeling the weight of last night’s fright lift away with the morning glow. I chalked it up to my imagination running wild, a common symptom of sleep deprivation, perhaps.After a quick shower and getting dressed, I headed down the hall. Passing by Edward’s room, I saw the door was wide open. Edward was packing his suitcase, folding his clothes next to the bed.“Morning, Olivia,” he said, pausing to offer a warm smile.“Morning,” I replied, returning the smile, though a sense of strangeness tingled at the back of my mind. Edward’s eyes met mine for a moment longer than necessary before he returned to his packing.I descended the stairs, my thoughts pivoting back to the mysterious vibrations of the amulet last night. It had been a gift from Layla, a way to protect us from the witch’s magic. I had only felt it vibrate once before when the witch suddenly appeared, and yet recently, I had been feeling it a lot more.It was alm

OliviaIt seemed as though sleep was going to elude me again on the night that Edward announced he would be staying for one more day, but much to my surprise, I slipped away much more quickly than usual. In fact, before I knew it, I was lost in a world of dreams…I was walking down an empty street, the sidewalk bathed in the dim glow of old street lights. It had the eerie quiet of someplace abandoned, except I wasn’t alone. Ahead of me, I saw Edward, his tall frame unmistakable, hands buried deep in his pockets as he strolled along. Even in my dream, I felt an involuntary shiver; there was something off about this. His movements were stiff, and his head swiveled from left to right as though he was watching for something.Curiosity got the best of me, and I followed him. Every step he took seemed calculated, heavy with intent. I trailed a good distance behind, careful not to draw his attention. He finally stopped in front of a dilapidated house, its windows boarded up, an uninviting
