The Perfect Luna by Marissa Gilbert

Chapter 65

Chapter 65. The End 

She paused when they walked out of the house and searched for her. She remembered that part well. It was as if she wanted to help them herself because, since she had no desire to see anyone, she went alone into the woods. Everything was too much for her – the people who sneered at her, the people who were giving her their sympathy and pity. It was a horrible night on so many levels. She went deep into the forest and was considering going to her favourite place – The Silver Lake, when she was attacked.

Riannon saw Harper shifting into her wolf form after being encouraged by Roxy once again. She didn’t even bother trying to listen to what the fox was saying. Did it really matter? What mattered was that in the light provided by the full moon Harper’s wolf indeed looked brown. And it was breaking her heart bit by bit. 

So, it was her sister-in-law after all... Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com

Ria always knew that Harper did not like her. In the light of recent discoveries, it was understandable. But was the possibility of her being with Ash – and this one wasn’t a huge

possibility – worth her becoming a murderer?

They found Riannon from the past in just a few minutes and Roxanne motioned for the wolf to attack, staying behind in the shadows. Harper hesitated just for a second, but then charged at the Luna who was already leaning over a tree. The poison in her blood system reached the concentration that started to affect her and she was getting weaker by the second. Right now her legs could barely move, so she was defenceless when the huge wolf

knocked her off her feet.

But Riannon was no weakling. Even in the past. She had a will to live, so she grabbed the nearest fallen brunch and fought the werewolf off as long as she could. It was the best she could do, since she couldn‘t shift. Unfortunately, that did not last long as Harper grabbed the stick with her canines and snapped it in two, discarding it.

moment, no one came…

She already had many scratches and cuts from the fight but when the wolf dug its teeth into her thigh and tore off a piece of it, Ria screamed.

The feral primal sound was not heard by anyone as the party was still in full swing, having the best night. 

The present Riannon felt a tear roll down her cheek. This was horrible. And disgusting.

watching this hurt.

“They will find everything outl” she heard herself saying in a desperate effort to talk herself out of this situation, “You will not get away with it.” 

That ugly laughter that she couldn’t forget sounded in her ears as Roxanne kneeled and grabbed a fistful of her hair, “Dear, Riannon, don’t you get it? I already did!”

She then forcefully threw Ria towards the ground with force and ordered the wolf, “Finish her off. Make sure nothing is left.”

Harper hesitated again but then went straight for her belly, piercing it with her sharp

This was when her memories were ending, probably meaning that this was the moment

she died…

The wolf’s muzzle was all covered in her blood and her own body was convulsing. She wasn’t gone just yet.

Roxy was already walking away when she felt that something was wrong and turned. “Finish her off,” she repeated her order, but Harper didn‘t move, “I said finish her off!” The girl shifted back into her human form and fell to her knees, trembling. “I can’t!” Harper panted, trying to stand up. On wobbly knees, she got behind the nearest

tree and emptied her stomach there until there was nothing left in her. 

Roxy swore loudly and picked up her evening dress, walking back to her almost dead rival. Riannon from the past was lying there, bleeding out and barely breathing. She was unconscious and that was probably why she didn‘t remember that part. 

“You need to finish what you started!” the fox sounded as if she was annoyed. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com
