EMMA
"Emma, we need to talk." Those words kept bothering me from the moment he spoke. I didn't know what would come out of his lip but one thing I hoped he would let slip out of his tongue was that I should leave his apartment.
My little sister is beginning to settle down and make friends because the gamma took her there made me so satisfied. I wouldn't want all that getting stripped away from her all of a sudden.
I looked up, meeting his gaze. His eyes held something like guilt and vulnerability.
"I know a lot is going on in your mind," he began, "but I truly hope things can get better between us. I'm trying my best to prepare you to become the next Luna."
The words hit me like a tidal wave. "Excuse me? What are you talking about? You don't even want me. Is this because you have no other options?"
(Hey, don't jinx it… or wish is finally coming to pass.) I could feel the worry in Beena's voice. It's been a long time since she has wanted to meet her mate.
