The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna
For another moment, I was back in that shed, my hands tied to the boards, terrified and small.
But I wasn’t there. Not anymore.
I hadn’t been in a long time.
And the Moon Goddess was here, I could feel her, and this time, I wasn’t going to forget about her light.
I waited until the last moment. Took a breath, steadying myself.
Then, I dove out of the way just as the spiders surged through the doorway of the hut.
I lit the wick and threw the jar as hard as I could.
