Semua Bab The Luna He Didn’t Choose : Bab 21 - Bab 27

Bella POVThe room Lena gave me was small, but it was clean and quiet in a way that felt almost unfamiliar, like I was stepping into something I had not been allowed to have for a very long time, and for a moment I just stood there near the door without moving because I was afraid that if I moved too fast, I would ruin it somehow.“Okay,” Lena said behind me, her voice casual as she leaned on the doorframe, “before you start overthinking the fact that you’re standing in a room that is not actively trying to destroy you, I need you to breathe.”I blinked slowly and turned to her.“I am breathing,” I said quietly.She looked at me.“Barely,” she replied.I let out a small breath that was supposed to be a laugh but came out more tired than anything else.“This is really mine?” I asked, looking around again.Lena shrugged.“For now,” she said. “Unless you plan on causing chaos, in which case I reserve the right to relocate you.”I frowned slightly.“I am not going to cause chaos,” I said.

Bella POVThe message didn’t leave me alone.It kept looping in my head like something broken that refused to shut off.Someone’s been asking about you.Every time I tried to focus on anything else, it came back louder.Like it knew I was trying to ignore it.Like it wanted me to.I was still standing by the window when the knock came.I didn’t even flinch this time.That scared me more than anything else.Lena opened the door before I could even say anything, like she owned the concept of timing itself. She always did that—like she knew what was about to happen before the world even decided it.But this time, she didn’t walk in alone.A man followed her.And the second he stepped inside, something inside my chest tightened so fast it felt like my body recognized him before my mind did.I didn’t like that.I didn’t like that at all.I took a step back without thinking.“No,” I said immediately, even though I didn’t know what I was saying no to yet. “I don’t know him.”The man stopped

Bella POVWe leave at night.Not because it’s dramatic.Because Lena says movement in daylight is “too easy to track,” and she says it like she’s done this kind of disappearing before.I don’t ask her what she means by that.I just pack what she tells me to pack.Which isn’t much.A bag.Two changes of clothes.The folded letter.That’s the only thing I refuse to leave behind.Lena notices, of course.She always notices everything.But she doesn’t comment.That’s the part that unsettles me the most.The corridor outside my room feels different now. Like it knows I’m leaving. Like the walls are watching me in a way they weren’t before.I keep my steps quiet.Too quiet.My body feels like it’s learning how to exist again outside the calm it was forced into.Lena walks ahead of me.Two guards are already gone.No goodbye. No explanation.Just disappearance.“That’s normal?” I ask quietly.Lena glances back. “For places like this? Yes.”“That’s not comforting.”“I wasn’t aiming for comfor
