The Luna Choosing Game

No visits. No phone calls. No birthday or Christmas cards for Elva.

thank you?

She hadn’t I never saw her again after losing my wolf. I awoke in a dirty alley with a crying baby pressed

beside me

I watched the moment Nicholas’s anger twisted inwards. He seemed to deflate a little

“What I did was illegal,” I said. “And I had a baby I couldn’t stay in school after that

“I would have supported you”

“How? By dropping out alongside me?” I shook my head 7 never would have let you This was the only

way, to protect us both”

Nicholas reached out and gripped my upper arms. He held me firmly, but not enough to hurt

“You were my girlfriend, Piper. I would have done anything for you.

Nicholas and I jumped apart. His arms fell to his sides

At once, his fury and desperation disappeared under his princely persona, cold and detached The

witch was jarring.

“You should have immediately made your presence known,” Nicholas said, voice flat. “How much did
