Semua Bab REBIRTH: I REFUSE TO BE LUNA: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Nyssa’s POV:The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the silence. The second thing I noticed was the bright light filling the room I was in.It took me a second, but I finally figured out why I was feeling a little queasy. It was too quiet. This wasn’t the kind of quiet that I was used to in my own home, this was something entirely different.This was the kind of silence that came from thick walls, guarded spaces and a place where absolutely nothing was allowed to go wrong.My brows furrowed slightly as I shifted from the bed. That was when I realized something.This was not my bed.My eyes shot open the moment I realized that. For a long second, confusion flooded my mind as I stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling. Everything around me felt wrong and different.If there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that I had never been in this room before. Then, it hit me.Almost like a gunshot to the brain. The memories of the previous night began to flood through me. From the gunshot

Lyra's POV:Nyssa wasn’t picking up. For the past couple of weeks, even though her best friend had been acting possessed, she at least believed she would pick up a call.But no matter how much she called, it was left to ring till the end. At first, she didn’t think much of it. People missed calls every day. Lord knows it happened to her too. But then, one call, turned into five, and then fifteen. And by the time she reached the twentieth attempt, rapid irritation was already beginning to bloom within her.“This is ridiculous,” she muttered under her breath as she began to pace slowly across her living room with her phone pressed against her ear.The phone kept on ringing without any answer, so she pulled the phone away and ended the call, only to immediately dial again. If something had happened, Nyssa should have answered. If nothing had happened, she definitely should have answered. Either way, there was no excuse.Lyra had been patient enough, she had given her best friend all the

Nyssa’s POV:I watched her leave without blinking. Her steps were quick, stiff and her shoulders were tense from shame and humiliation. I could tell that she was holding herself together by nothing more than sheer force. It was pretty clear in the way her hands were curled tightly into fists and the way her back was straightened just a little bit too much.It was clear she was using her pride to mask her humiliation.I let out a slow exhale as the large doors were closed shut behind her. The tension she had brought in did not evaporate immediately, it only lessened, but that was enough for me.For the first time in a long time, I felt in control in her presence, not confused or conflicted, but truly certain.“You handled that well,” Blade’s voice cut through my thoughts,I turned slightly and found myself looking at an approving smile etched on his face. Now that he was up close, I could tell that his presence was nothing short of overwhelming.Whenever he spoke, the large scar on his

I let out a smile as I stepped out of my room. Now that I had showered, I was feeling like myself again.I was no longer the girl who had lost herself being flustered in the car, the girl who had kept on replaying the kiss in her head even though she knew she shouldn’t. No, I was grounded again, more focused and sharp. At least, until the next time I stared into Damien’s eyes.Now, I was just going to hope that this moment lasted. I immediately walked to the kitchen, then, brewed some coffee first before walking outside. I had asked Joe if he wanted a cup, and he had replied with a shake of his head.By the time I stepped outside my home, Joe was already waiting there. He was leaning against the car like he had known that I was about to step out.I blinked once, and narrowed my eyes as I began to walk towards him.“When I’m not looking, do you just spend all day standing by the car?” I asked with furrowed brows,He straightened immediately, “I am always where I am most needed,”That w

“You think this scares me?!” the man spat. “You think a few mutts holding me down changes anything? I’ll bury you—”I took a step forward, and he froze.Embarrassed, the man tried to speak up again. His face was red with fury, and spit was practically flying off his lips as he kept on struggling against the grip of my wolves.“You came here filled with pride, and I am going to send you running away with your tail beneath your legs,” I hissed, “But before that, I am going to make you a promise,”His face was pale now, and I could tell that he had been scared speechless.“I am never going to sell to you,” I cut in with a voice calm enough to slice through the rage and fear that was clouding his mind, “Or to anyone who is affiliated to you,”Those words broke whatever form of restaurant was left in him.“You think you can do that?” he barked, his voice rising with disbelief and anger. “You think you can blacklist me and get away with it? I will make sure no one buys from you. I’ll ruin
