Semua Bab HEART OF A TRUE LUNA: Bab 141 - Bab 150

ZACH.My eyes snapped open when I heard voices and movements. I looked to my side and made sure Amber was still safely tucked in my arms. It was only then that it dawned on me that we were in our cabin and surrounded by friends. I saw dimmed lights in the kitchen and two figures sitting by the middle counter. It was Tyler and Catherine. The latter probably woke up and was hungry. Although they were trying not to make a noise, it was not surprising that I woke up, as my senses were heightened.And I could tell I was not the only one awake. But no one was moving from the mattresses scattered all around the living room. After the guys and I hung out outside for some drinks, we decided to separate the girls from each other and place the mattresses apart.Except for Amber and Cassidy. I was supposed to be the one sleeping on the sofa, as it would be easier for me, but I asked them to help me on the floor instead. It had been a full day of fun, but I missed my Little Rose and wanted to fee

AMBER.I wished I had something to capture this moment, to immortalize the love and friendship that were all around this clearing. Zach was holding on to Jace and looking at Catherine, who was kneeling on the ground with the others holding on to her. They were drawing strength from each other.Zach must have noticed our presence, for he slowly lifted his head up until our gazes met.I was at a loss for words. I wanted to tell him many things, but I didn’t know what.And then I saw it. The pain. The agony. And the hopelessness.I closed my eyes and placed my hands on my chest. Even without saying anything, I already knew, and I needed time to accept it.“I’m sorry.” I heard Zach say it, and my eyes snapped open. I found all of them looking at him.“I still don’t feel anything.” He added.“We’re not giving up. We’ll keep going.” Catherine said, but her voice croaked. Prompting me to look at her. I didn’t miss the way her face flinched and how her hand was holding her stomach. Catherine

GAMMA DRAKE.“I’m younger than Lexi, too. Don’t forget that. But maturity is not age. It’s how we live and think. And I am 100% sure you are more mature at 18 than I was before I married Lexi. Now, if it were Dustin beside me, I would think the opposite. But it’s you, Drake. So I think the Goddess knew what she was doing when she mated you to a female six years older than you.”“She doesn’t want me. Or she should have come for me after he cheated on her.”“Unless she doesn’t want you to think you’re just a rebound.”My eyes watered as my hold on the wheel tightened. “I will take it, man. Even just a rebound. I can live with that. I would rather have that chance than throw away this bond.”“Then tell her that.” He said, and I didn’t say anything more. The last thing I wanted was to show my weakness to him.“That building. That’s her apartment. “ He said as he pointed to the one we were about to approach. He then proceeded to give me the door number. “There’s security,” I told him.“I

DR. GRACE.“Spend the night with me, Grace.” His voice was low, and if I were not focusing on him alone, I would not hear it. I shifted my eyes off his hand and looked at him. He was already looking at me.“That doesn’t mean we need to have sex. Just let me be around you tonight.” He added.“It will eventually lead to sex. We know how the heat works.” I told him.“I’m not with anyone, and neither are you. We are not violating anything. We can if we both consent to it, but I won’t touch you if you don’t want to. I can promise you that.”“But maybe it’s better if we try to see if it’ll work or not, right? If we are compatible in bed…” I said, a smile itching to come out on my face. He was right. I didn’t have to feel guilty if I ever ended up jumping him. “Grace… You can just stand there, and I’m sure I will still…” He paused once I felt my face burning. He must have seen my cheeks turning red. “I’m sorry. I’ll stop. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable with me.”“No, there’s nothing

DR. GRACEThe drive to the Chinese restaurant went smoothly. Zyra rarely said anything, but she was pleasant to have around. She couldn’t read, but I could tell she was good with numbers. Drake suggested that skipping the bus might not be relevant to her savings, as she could come in early and offer to work half an hour of overtime, rather than spending time walking. This girl began calculating how much she would save on the bus ride and what she would earn in the extra thirty minutes, plus the tax deduction the restaurant would give her for overtime pay, and she was right. She could save more by walking than by using overtime, given how little she was getting. By the time we reached the restaurant, I had already decided to help her and possibly give Louise an extra allowance in secret, just to help her out. No one would understand what this girl was going through except someone who had been in the same situation as hers. “You can stop here.” She blurted out of nowhere. “We are n
