The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

ADESSA.

I made it back to my chamber and found Danielle there. She ushered me in and locked the main bedroom before guiding me to sit on the bed.

"Are you okay, my lady?" She asked, and I could tell she was worrying about me, even if she knew she was in a greater mess than I was.

"No," I replied, letting out a big sigh.

"I'm sorry that you don't feel good, but I have to say this first because they can take me away from you any moment now."

"I won't let that happen."

"Don't worry about me, but listen, Princess Adessa. Under this mattress is my phone. It is safer here than in mine if they ever search my room for anything.'

I nodded before I threw my arms to hug her. "I'm sorry I put you in trouble."

She rubbed my back and pulled away from my hug. "It's okay. I want to help as much as I can."

"Did he message already?"

"Not yet, when I placed it there a few minutes ago." She replied. "He must not have the chance to do it yet."

"Do you think he loves me and not just because I'm a princess?"

"Ordinary people or Alphas can also fall in love with the royals-the person, not the title they carry."

"I want that so badly for me and Kael. I want him to love me for me and not my title."
