Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0053

My parents seemed to understand this. They felt that I was still grieving the loss of my relationship.

I was content to let them believe that, if it allowed me to avoid seeing David. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to hide my hatred for him when I saw him again.

When the time came for the public address, I went downstairs and sat on the couch with my mother and father. The TV was on already and tuned to the appropriate channel.

Neither of my parents said a word to me as I sat between them, but my mother leaned over and kissed me on the

of my head, and my father put his arm around my shoulders in a show of support.

Once again, I felt a huge wave of relief wash over me. The fact that they were here and we were all a family again was something that I would never stop being grateful for.

What had happened was awful, but it was necessary in order to protect them. I would never allow David or anyone else to use my family against me again. I would protect them no matter what it took.
