Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 142: Sudden Visitor

My fingers instinctively curled into a fist when I saw Giselle coming.

What the hell is she doing here? Why did she follow me?

My gaze instantly turned across me to where Astrid was standing. However, instead of seeing her, I saw Nova instead.

It took me a lot of effort to resist her gaze and to stop the urge to stare back at her.

I purposefully ignored her to grant her wish that I would never bother her again. I was afraid that if our gazes met, everything would be over for me.

I was afraid that the only resistance I had left, the little thing that I had left for myself to keep myself together without her, would suddenly vanish, and I would be left with nothing.
