I Am The Luna

Chapter 467

VALERIE.

It's the following day, and the tension is high, partially over what we are about to attempt with the healing and also something has gone down between Zade and Atticus.

That was clear from the hostility at breakfast, with Zade simply taking his coffee and walking out when Atticus entered.

I haven't asked Zade what that's about, but I didn't get the chance as he gave me no breaks in training.

Yet the anger that is emanating from Zade every time Atticus is mentioned or is around made me decide to hold off asking him for now, especially not before we try to heal Shelby. The pressure weighing on all of us is at an all-time high.

We are going to give it our all. We now slowly begin to gather in Shelby's room, where Atticus and Hugh are telling her what we are about to attempt.

'Putting her hopes up without even knowing if this might work or not is a dumb move,' Zade's voice comes into my head.

'Well, there's no possible secret way to attempt it. She will find out what we are trying, and it's good she knows. They have mentioned there's a high chance it doesn't work. But, regardless of the results, at least we will know that we did our best and tried everything' I reply, and sure enough Atticus is explaining it in a way that won't raise her hopes unless it works.

'See, he isn't putting her hopes up fully,' I reassure Zade, who doesn't reply.

I wonder what happened between them. I am tempted to ask Atticus instead but now is not the time.

"I'm sorry for worrying you all so much," Shelby says, looking between Atticus and Hugh, as she touches her forehead to Hugh's.
