Todos os capítulos de Finding their Luna at an all boys school: Capítulo 171 - Capítulo 180

DamonWhen my brothers came into my room, I made sure I was already lying back against the pillows, I made my breathing shallow. I even let my hands tremble a little. It took effort. More effort than fighting through the pain I had earlier. I never thought that pretending to be weak was harder than actually being weak.I had to pretend to be sick so my brothers wouldn't get suspicious of anything.Kael entered first with his shoulders tensed and a tight jaw. Cassidan followed quietly with his eyes sharp and searching, the way they always were when something did not sit right with him.“How are you feeling?” Kael asked me, moving closer to the bed.I forced a cough and turned my face slightly away. “I still feel very dizzy,” I said. “My chest burns.” I lied even when I felt perfectly fine. Cassidan did not speak. He stood at the foot of the bed, studing me with his sharp eyes. I could feel his gaze on my face, weighing every breath I took and every blink.“You don’t look worse,” he s

Elara I didn't try to put up a fight when the guards rough handled me. I simply smiled and kept on walking. I told myself it was because I was tired, because my body still felt hollow and weak, because the numbness had not fully left my limbs. But the truth sat deeper than that. I did not fight because the Luna was watching, and something in her eyes told me that resistance would only make things worse."Lose that ugly smile from your face, else I'm going to lose it for you." The Luna spat out as she walked past me. I didn't say anything—didn't want to utter the words that would make her upset. She took me down to a corridor that looked really strange. The palace felt different from this side, the place was colder and quiet than the rest, it was like it was holding its breath.I tried to run back to the brothers but this was the choice that I had made for myself and I had to go with it. Why was I going with this plan? I couldn't say. That little voice in my head told me that it

Elara By the time night fell, a candle had been lit to lighten up the dark room. The shadows casted against the walls as a result of the reflection bouncing off the candle light gave the room an eerie feeling. Not that I wasn't used to such environments already. The forest outside had gone quiet. Too quiet that I could literally hear the heartbeat of the wandering creatures outside. I laid awake, staring at the ceiling, my body buzzing and hollow at the same time. The bond felt thinner now, stretched to a breaking point as panic rose in my throat. I tried to get the thoughts of the brothers out of mind but each time I tried, the thought of them only came stronger. I did not know if they could hear me. Tears slid down from my temples and into my hair. I wiped them away angrily. Crying would not help me now, this wasn't the time for me to break down, it won't help either. I forced myself to sit up, even as my body protested. The room swayed as I held onto the edge of the bed u

Kael Time had become my enemy. I counted it without meaning to, I counted down from every moment that passed since Elara had been taken out of the palace. Two days was what we had agreed to. But each time I thought about it, those two days that now felt like a sentence carved into my bones. I tried to tell myself it had only been hours, that nothing terrible could happen so quickly, but my chest did not listen to reason. I was convinced that this was not going to end well. I sat on the edge of my bed, with my elbows on my knees, staring at the floor as if it might give me answers. Surprisingly, the bond still continued to puls faintly. I could still feel her, but it was distant, and muted... that terrified me more than silence would have. I wanted to tell Cassidan and Damon, I wanted to say the words out loud, that I did not trust our mother, that I had not trusted her from the moment she asked for Elara, that something in her eyes had been too calm, too certain. But the words

176—Cassidan I searched for mother's face. She held a neutral expression, which meant one thing; she was aware of what had been going on but kept it back from us. Why would she do that? Didn't she trust us enough to tell us, did she think that our judgement would be clouded by our love for Elara? This was a serious allegation Father was leveling against Elara. Women dying in labour because of her? That seemed a bit extreme. I wanted to speak out to defend Elara, but father had passed an order and going against it was far worse than anything else. So I buried my voice and waited until he granted the order for us to speak. "My sons have also been turned against me—against the pack because of the presence of that girl." "Not to mention that she had almost killed Damon." The tension in the air intensified with Father's every word. "Elara would remain in the place where we have taken her to for a week." "What?!" What?!" What?!" I, Damon and Kael echoed at the same time.
