Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 48

*****Erika's POV*****

It was a while later before Kat and I were able to help Paula relax and keep her tears under control. Paula was not the type to easily cry. Of the three of us, I was the known crybaby. Kat might break down every once in a while, but not before people, I had never seen Paula cry and fret as she had done few minutes ago.

I was tempted to take her phone to satisfy my curiosity but I could not. Common courtesy demanded I respect her privacy, despite being my best friend, I had no right to poke into her price life especially if sis did not want me to know. So I was going to wait for her to say it, but for now, Kat and I needed her to be under control and her emotions kept in check.

"Thanks girls." She sniffled.

We had gone to meet Kat on her own bed since she was the most wounded amongst us three and the doctor had said it would take time for her body to heal completely. Thankfully, she was making progress but she was still on wheelchair.

Sandwiched between us, we group-hugged her.

"Gage is in trouble, he's wounded." I could sense the tears coming so I patted her back.

She nodded, a wordless assurance that she was not going to let the tears out. She kept mute and we let her. She was trying to get it together. Gage was in trouble? How come? What was happening in Moon Forest? What about Alexander? Was he fine too? I sighed. He was no longer my concern, I should not care what could or not had happened to him.

Was there something going on? No, I did not think so. It was possibly Gage had just had some personal encounter with a wrong person. Alexander was there to help him get out of it, and if he would not, I would do it. For Paula's sake. She was his mate, and I knew Paula would die if anything should happen to Gage.
