Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 336: Distance Killian's POV

It had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn't asked a single question about her mother.

At first, I was afraid of what he'd say, dreading the moment he'd look me in the eye and ask, Where's my mother?

I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him.

How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she's dead.

In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother - she'd raised him, after all, and he'd known her as nothing else.

I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him.

But now... I'm no longer just worried about Ryker's difficult questions now I wasn't just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven't asked me any question.

In the days that had passed, he hadn't asked even once. Not a word about Giselle.

No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And it was that silence that was starting to gnaw at me, leaving me both worried and confused.

Is he not worried about Giselle? Doesn't he miss her? Or was he just caught up in his own world that he had completely forgotten about Giselle?
