All Chapters of The Lycan's Contract Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 25

Aviana Damian held my hand as we passed through the throng of people.According to the maids who dressed me up, the place I dressed up in was close to the town square, which was where the ceremony would take place.I was supposed to do the short trek to the square alone, but now, I'm grateful that Damian is right beside me.I kept my head bent, but even that didn't stop people from staring at me. I could feel their tiny, judgy little eyes fixed on my back while we moved, and if it weren't for Damien's constant presence, I probably would have bolted.I managed to make it to the two huge chairs mounted in front of the crowd where we were supposed to sit.“Are you okay?” Damian whispered as we sat down, smiling and waving to people around.I opened my mouth to respond, but I didn't get the chance as Lucas showed up, throwing a disbelieving look my way.He crouched down beside Damian, lowering his voice to a whisper but I could still hear him.“What the hell is she doing here?” He hisse

Aviana Shortly after speaking with Lucas, Damian flagged down a carriage, and before I could blink, we had arrived back at his house… only it looked much different than how I left it.For one, there were red and white ribbons strewn over the entrance, celebrating our new achievement. Damian didn't say a word, simply stepping over the ribbons, so I followed suit.However, just as we crossed the threshold, an elderly woman closely followed by Esther was walking towards us. I noticed they both had bags with them, and I looked at Esther in alarm. “Uh, what's going on?

I kept my eyes on the tangled sheets, rubbing my fingers together in my lap because I couldn't bring myself to look at Damian.He didn't answer right away.He stayed where he was with one hand resting on the doorknob, watching me quietly without trying to fill the silence or force another word out of me.“The past is behind me now,” I said after taking a slow breath, forcing a small smile that didn't last long. “Talking about it won't change anything.”Damian studied me for a few seconds before speaking, his expression calm as he noticed my hands still wouldn't stay still.“Then why are your hands shaking?” he asked gently, keeping his voice low so it didn't feel like an accusation. “Why did you look so scared the moment I touched you?”The smile faded from my face.I lowered my eyes again and pressed my lips together before answering.“Afte
