Semua Bab The Luna's Walk of Shame: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Astrid “So, are you going to tell me who she is?” Soren demanded, still standing at the door. I had gotten Amira changed into one of my black truck shirts. She was sitting on the couch with her hands wrapped around her. She hasn't uttered a word since I brought her in.I patted her head and turned to face Soren. He needed to know who she was. He allowed me to bring her in. It was only fair for me to let him know who she was. He let her in and I didn't know if his parents would be okay with that.I moved towards him and took his wrist. I gently closed the door behind me once we were outside. I let go of his hands. How would he take it ? “She is a child that was under my care in the pack. I had taken her in after I found out she had been living alone after her mother died.”His head cooked to the side and gave me an unsure look. I couldn't blame him for that. I had done nothing but lie to him. So I wouldn't blame him if he didn't believe me. “You have to believe me, Soren. I just

AstridIt started raining hailstones before we could make it back home. My mind was focused on Amira the entire ride home.How was she doing given that she knew no one in the pack and could easily be on her own. Maybe she had joined some of the pack members to play around. As we drove along something suddenly came up in my mind and I turned to Soren. “What about valency?”It has been a couple of weeks that I haven't seen or noticed her. Did she realize her place in Soren's life and decided to give up?Or maybe he told her that they couldn't work and she left. She had been silent for the longest time now.“ She actually won a scholarship to one of the colleges here in the pack. She is in school and would visit only when they have some breaks or maybe holidays.” I had no idea about that. And again that was beautiful to hear. She actually won a scholarship. It was quite surprising given how she was and how she acted. No one could take her for the type to be serious in school work.“A

AstridI didn't know it was going to be this tough. We had traveled in five different Hilux cars. We parked them down in the valley before climbing this steep hill. I had never been to the West, so I didn't know it would be like this—hills and hills to climb."Don't we get to stop and have a break? Come on, I'm tired," one of the girls said from below. I didn't know most of them by name; I could only attribute names to a few faces, including Fenwa, who was in front of me. She was one of the most energetic amongst us."We're almost at the top. I guess we will take a rest when we get there," Fenwa replied to the warrior whose butt was already on a stone."They will meet up with us," I said, placing my hands on her shoulders, urging her forward.It took us another twenty minutes before we reached the top of the hill. We took a rest, drank water, and shared some snacks while discussing random stuff.We descended the hill and came to a stop in front of a snow-filled land. It looked like a

SorenI couldn't sleep last night after what Darson told me. She had secretly gone to see him without telling me. What were her reasons for going there? And that child she had with her. I wouldn't have let her be here if she didn't insist that I let her be. She was an Emberclaw pack and only the Goddess knew why she had come here. Like how did she even know Astrid was Shadowfen? She had traveled all the way here on her own. That was something I found hard to believe. She could be under some influence. Still, I couldn't come into any conclusions until I saw a reason to.The little kid put the door aside when I knocked on it.“I want to see your mother.” Astrid was basically her mother after she had decided to custody of on her own.She opened the door wide and stepped aside. Her big curious eyes on my face like she hadn't seen me before.“She is inside.”I made my way inside. I knew this wasn't probably the best time to confront her, but I needed her to know where she belonged and w

SorenWe couldn't wait anymore, so I had to call a meeting. Everyone needed to be present, and they had come in their numbers; even the warriors were present. They had their own row at the end of the hall, and most of them looked so gloomy and sad. I could understand, given the trauma they had gone through in the past weeks, having lost their friends and coming in contact with those Frostborn and the fire. I knew all of that was just too much. So, I was here to plead with the elders to give them some more time and probably look for a different way to work this out. We couldn't keep sending them all day to die while we could look for something else."Thank you all for coming out here and honoring my invitation, especially on this abrupt notice. We all have been aware of the recent happenings in Veridian. We sent some of our warriors, and they came back injured, and some even died. In the last encounter, they came in contact with the Frostborn, and almost five of them were killed and
