All Chapters of Scarred Luna : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Xander’s POV I stood in front of the door for a couple more seconds before knocking again. Had she not heard me the first time? Was I not loud enough? Or perhaps I was too loud and I had somehow disrupted her sleep? Maybe she was already“Ugh,” I groaned. I was torn in between yelling out my frustration or just reeling it in. After a couple of seconds, I decided on the best option for me. I was going to calm down and hold it in. Why exactly was Kieran acting this way? Call me crazy, but I could swear her reaction towards me had changed ever since our sunset date. Did she not like it? Or had I done something wrong throughout and she only pretended to put up with me till we were back home?But she was genuinely happy. I could feel it. The way her body relaxed as she leaned into my touch, there was no way she could have been able to take that. Right?Right. I hoped. I glanced at the door one more time. More time had passed and her door was still closed. A sigh slid past my lips as

Kieran’s POV I swallowed a huge lump that was lodged at the base of my throat. I had done that thrice in the last minute now, and still nothing had changed. I wanted to ask for another glass of water, but decided against it. What kind of person asked for over five glasses of water in the past ten minutes? Me. I was that person. Beads of sweat lined my forehead, and a few droplets slipped down and got into my eye. With a huff, I swiped at my forehead with the sleeve of my shirt. The room was cool with the AC set to the highest degree, but even at that, I was sweating, and not just on my face. Even my palms weren't spared of the sticky assault. In case it wasn't already obvious by now, I was anxious. Overly anxious about what was going to happen in the next couple of minutes. My gaze darted to the lady in front of me. It was Sabrina, but as I ran my fingers loosely through the braids I'd just finished and watched her through the mirror, she looked different, and it was definitel

Kieran's POVI stood rooted to my spot, hoping he would just go away. It was silly, but anything would do at this point. I had specifically found Sabrina, just so I wouldn't have to bump into him, and yet, look at what had happened. “What's going on here?” His voice had echoed all around the living room. The deep baritone of his voice was more than enough to cut through my explanation. “Sabrina? Kieran?”Time seemed to slow to a halt as I refused to acknowledge his presence. In my mind, I was in my world, with his voice nothing but a distant distraction. But even with all of my imagination, it still wasn't enough. I was really aware of the man behind me and every part of my body felt it. A couple of inches was the only thing separating us both, but I could still feel him all around me.His signature scent wafted through my nostrils and I found myself taking him all in, even against my wishes. Like I hadn't gone through enough, he just had to call out to me, and even that did wonders

Kieran's POVThe sound of footsteps scurrying past my door roused me awake as my eyes flew open. The noise had been so loud, I had even heard it in my sleep. I could have sworn a stampede was going on somewhere around. Even while I slept, I knew the last thing I wanted was to get trampled upon, whether in a dream world or real life. A small groan slid past my lips as I rubbed at my eyes. After my blurry eyes had cleared a bit, I raised my eyes to the clock high up on the wall. A small gasp slid past my lips when I realized what the time was. “Half past noon?” I mumbled. How the hell did time fly by so quickly? “Exactly how long was I asleep for?”Honestly, I had no idea. All I remember was crashing into bed and waking up now that I did. I didn't expect to sleep for this long. Another groan slid past my lips as I got up to stretch. I wondered why Sabrina hadn't come up to wake me. She usually did that anytime I overslept. Or maybe she did. I dashed into my bathroom and took a bath.

Xander's POVI took the stairs two at a time, making sure not to miss my step or anything. I wasn't exactly in a hurry but I would rather get to the dining before her. She had barely arrived and yet she was already giving ultimatums? I could already feel a storm brewing. Don't get me wrong, I loved my mother, but if there was something I didn't love, it was her overbearing attitude. She had barely settled down, and the entire mansion was already getting lit up by her little tantrums. It would only be a matter of time before it would blow up into literal flames. Hopefully, this time would be different and she would tone down on her attitude and tactics. I knew how she could be. Especially to Kieran. My mind wandered back to when my mother arrived. Kieran had been so surprised. It was obvious nobody told her my mother was coming but it couldn't have been me. We weren't exactly on talking terms and I had thought Sabrina would have done that. What I didn't expect was the instant vilen
