The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 38. Maya

Riannon gathered her hair at the back of her head and dressed up quickly into a pair of blue jeans, comfortable leather boots and an oversized blouse, part of which she tucked under her belt. All while she was calling Ash and Maya in turns. But to her disappointment and horror,

none of them was replying.

She tried to steady her breathing as panic almost overwhelmed her. She couldn’t lose Maya. Not again. She already lost her once and it almost broke her.

It did break her. This was the point from which everything went downhill.

She remembered every detail even now. Roxy was launching attack after attack on her. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)But Maya was helping to protect her best friend and helped Riannon to avoid traps more than once. She was very snarky towards Roxy always and quickly got under her radar.

So, one day she was accused of treason. There was no evidence against her. Just a confession of a warrior from one of the enemy packs from the East, who insisted that she was

trading secrets with them in the hope to become the next Beta after Ash was accidentally

killed. Even Ash wasn’t convinced but her loyalty was compromised. And that was when Brayden came up with a good solution as he called it. To send Maya to the border to serve as one of the guards there. Just several days later her post out of all others was under attack. Moreover, she was one of the very few dead.

Closing her eyes, Riannon felt a tear roll down her cheek as she remembered driving all the way to the border with Ash as soon as she received the news. Brayden couldn’t look her in the eye and she did not want to see him anyway.

The Beta brought her to one of the small cottages of the border village and there on a table lay her best friend, covered with a white sheet. They already cleaned her body after they heard that the Luna was coming. But they still couldn’t do anything about the claw marks which didn’t grow well together after she shifted back to her human form after her death. Those ugly uneven scars were going through her face and neck, some were on her chest. And just by looking at them, Riannon could tell that several beasts were attacking Maya.

She was so cold. So lifeless. A shell of the person that she knew. It was hard to

recognise in that vacant face the person that Maya was. The strong girl, who was a fighter in

heart and could barely spend a minute without cracking a joke wasn’t there anymore.

Riannon remembered how she wept over her friend’s body. How painful it was. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)How Ash tore her off and how she cried into his chest for hours in that cottage…
