Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Nova's POV

"Really? Then why do you dye your hair in strawberry?" Drystan asked as he grabbed a strand of my hair.

I moved all my hair to my right shoulder so he couldn't reach it. "Just because I dye my hair strawberry blonde, it doesn't mean I like strawberry," I replied grumpily.

My sister and I were born with the same hair colour. I was born with naturally perfect blonde hair, just like my sister. However, when my sister died, I chose to dye my hair because my hair would always remind me of her.

I don't like it when I look in the mirror and I see her. Before, when people saw us together, they thought that we were twins. That's just how we look so much alike.

Dyeing my hair with a different colour made me look a lot less like my sister.

Drystan suddenly let out a huge yawn by my side; I watched as he leaned in comfortably on the bench beside me, his eyes connecting to the stars above.

"Are you not going back inside to sleep?" I questioned him, not expecting that he would stay long out here.

I know he's tired of taking care of Astrid all day. He has been neglecting himself ever since he arrived. His body must be desperately begging for some rest.

"You're waiting for your birthday, aren't you? Let me stay here and celebrate your birthday with you," Drystan replied as he fought against his eyelids that were already drooping heavily.
