Chapter 138

Skylar

Later during the same evening, after dancing and talking with a bunch of people, it’s time for cake. I’m the one meant to cut it since this whole party is for me, but I’m nervous since the mean girls from earlier are leering at me.

“Should we make her trip?”

“That would be fun!”

“Oh my god, yes! We should totally do it!”

I gulp and glance at Lucas. But he just gives me this smile that tells me I’m on my own, and I don’t blame him for doing that. As the Luna and the second in command, I have to grow some balls…or whatever you say when you’re a woman.

I step forward, my heart hammering in my chest. As I walk toward the cake, a massive confection with cream and strawberries, the whispers become more hushed until there’s almost complete silence. The cool air prickles against my skin, and I feel a sudden surge of resolve.

I glance back at Lucas for the last time. His warm eyes, full of trust in me, are my anchor in this sea of uncertainty. I square my shoulders, hold my head high, and continue walking.

As I near the cake, one of the girls giggles, and I see a foot sneaking out to trip me. But instead of panicking, I let out a soft growl, which sends shivers through the crowd. It’s not loud, but it carries a note of warning that makes everyone pause.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” I warn them without missing a beat, my gaze fixed on the girl whose foot is still mid–air. Her eyes widen as she quickly withdraws her foot, her face becoming pale.

“I’m sorry, Luna,” she whispers.

I don’t respond and grab the knife, my chin held high as I cut into the beautiful cake.

The crowd erupts into applause, and my cheeks burn since I hate being in the center of attention.
