Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 123: Refined Woman

Giselle's POV

I sat on the balcony, the warm afternoon sun dappling on my face as I bent over my sketchpad.

A small smile played on my lips as I delicately guided the paintbrush across the paper, coaxing the vibrant hues of a delicate orchid to life.

With each gentle stroke, the petals unfurled on the page, their delicate leaves and subtle gradient of colour emerging under my skilled touch.

I lost myself in the rhythm of my movements, the brush dancing across the surface, creating a serene and beautiful image.

But as time passed by, my smile slowly faded, replaced by a furrowed brow and a growing sense of dissatisfaction.

With a frustrated huff, I pressed the bristles of the brush against the paper, covering the entire drawing with black pigment.

"Luna, it was so beautiful. Why did you stop?" The omega beside me asked, who was also one of my attendants.

"I don't like it. It doesn't look like an orchid at all. It looks like I am drawing chives," I rolled my eyes as I sat back on my chair with disappointment.

"That's not true. I wasn't thinking of chives while you were drawing at all. I haven't seen anyone who can paint as good as you in this Packhouse, Luna," the omega replied.

"Of course, you would appreciate such a lousy drawing. For an omega like you, how could you possibly appreciate the great arts when you have never even seen them," I raised an eyebrow in annoyance.
