Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 51

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

"He's fine. I'm so glad he's fine, I was so scared." Her voice trembled a bit.

I placed my hand on hers. "You'll be fine. He will be fine."

"Yes Rika. They will both be fine." Kat put in, eye rolling.

I playfully glared at her. Kat shrugged, a smile on her. I drew closer to hug her, a silent apology for what my brother had ignorantly done. I knew she was hurting bad.

"It's okay, I too, will be fine." Kat assured.

"You're allowed to cry and hit things, preferably Jace." Paula said.

Her laugh was broken, trying to see the humor despite the pain. Kat was not easily broken down except it meant a whole lot to her. The last time I had seen her like this was when she lost her parents. She would always come to my place to forget, but would always end up crying. We had been young then but not too young not to understand what it meant to lose a loved one to death.

"I don't want to see him." She said, sniffling and wiping her eyes.

"Why's that? He's your mate."

"Is is because he's your brother?" She looked at me.

I shook my head. "No, not at all Kat. You know I'm here for you, anytime, any day.

I'm on your side, but you know Jace." I did not know why I was propelled to defend him but I was. And even I was angry with him.

"Yes, I know Jace and that is the reason I won't wait for him." She adjusted her legs carefully.
