All Chapters of The Curvy Luna They Sold: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

SERENA.Serena woke up before the sun as usual but for several seconds, she remained completely still, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above her.Her body felt relaxed on the quilt bed and she allowed herself to enjoy the luxury of the warmth it provided at that moment.The room was quiet, almost too quiet for her liking which was what snapped her back to reality. There was no shouting outside her door, no footsteps of someone coming to remind her that she had overslept, no impatient voice telling her to hurry downstairs, no list of chores waiting for her.She frowned and then she remembered where she was.Silvercrest… Damian's quarters.Right. No wonder she felt this strange peace around her. She wasn't still at Damon's quarters where she always had something to do... Every single time.And she loved it though. She loved it because she felt like it was her duty as a Luna to fulfill the needs of her people.And where exactly had that gotten her?Serena let out a soft sigh and her f

DAMIAN.Damian had been looking for Serena. Not because she was supposed to be handling a task for him or because he wanted to keep an eye on her to ensure that she didn't ruin anything.No... He simply wanted to know how she was doing, and that bothered him more than it should. Why he would find himself concerned about someone who wanted absolutely nothing to do with him was a mystery to him.He clenched his teeth when he remembered those eyes... weak, soft, pleading blue eyes begging him to stay with her until she fell asleep.Does she remember it? Last night? How she clung to him? If she does, how does it make her feel?Would she pretend like last night didn't happen if she saw him? Or would she thank him for choosing to stay with her despite having other pressing matters?He wasn't looking for a thank you note, nor was he looking to have her worship him just because he bestowed on her a simple act of kindness that he would have done for anyone... Maybe not just anyone, but then ag

SERENA.Serena didn't understand why Damian had followed her. She had already said goodbye or at least, she thought she had.After thanking him, she had turned away because she suddenly felt too exposed standing in front of him. She wasn't used to telling people what she was afraid of, much less asking them questions that made her feel vulnerable.Am I allowed to stay here?That question had slipped out before she could stop it and she felt embarrassed by it. She had expected him to become annoyed. Instead, he had looked at her as though the question itself had hurt him but that was the least surprising part about everything that happened.He told her she could stay... For as long as she wanted. Those words had followed her all the way to her room.As long as you want.Serena had repeated them silently several times in her head on her way to her room, yet they didn't make sense.It was strange that he said that without having any expectations from her. Nothing in her life had ever bee

DAMIAN.Damian noticed the change in her before Serena did. He didn't seem to notice at first, but it was obvious. It was in the way she walked through Silvercrest now.When she had first arrived, she moved as though every hallway belonged to someone else. She kept close to the walls, lowered her gaze whenever a pack member approached, and waited for instructions even when none were necessary.She had looked like someone waiting to be told where she was allowed to stand. Her confidence was extremely low when she had just arrived, and her voice was really low, and she struggled to speak back, but now things were different.Now, she walked differently, not boldly of course, but she no longer looked as though she expected someone to stop her. She no longer hesitated before she spoke, and that was one thing that Damian appreciated about the change.He once longed to hear her speak, to hear her voice her opinion rather than accept everything thrown toward her like a puppet. He hated that p

DAMIANDamian didn't want to say anything at first, but the more he stared at her, the more he realized that he was making her uncomfortable.He softened his voice and finally spoke. “There's no need to make yourself uncomfortable just to prove you can do something.”Serena was quiet for some time, but he could tell that she thought really hard about what he just said before responding, “I like helping.”“I know.”“And I don't mind helping. I actually enjoy it.”“I know that too. I'm just saying that you need to allow yourself to actually do things because you want to and not because you want to prove something.”She looked at him again. For a few seconds, neither spoke, then Serena smiled.“All right. Thank you.”Damian nodded and acted as if that simple smile didn't just spin his whole life around. He should have left. Instead, he crouched beside the garden bed.Serena stared at him, but she didn't move away from him.“What are you doing?”“Helping you, what does it look like I'm do
