Dawn
All day, I was so startled that I couldn’t shake it, no matter how much I tried to focus on my duties as Luna. The encounter with Alex left me rattled, and the weight of the secret I now carried felt heavier with each passing hour. Should I tell Rhys? I knew that if I did, he’d drop everything and come racing back. And when he did, blood would be spilled. Creekside would be evicted from the gathering, and I was almost certain it would end in a m******e.
But could I really keep this from him?
The triplets approached me later that afternoon, their faces etched with guilt. “Luna, we need to apologize,” Layla began, her voice uncharacteristically hesitant. “We’ve been following you for a while now… It’s our duty, but we didn’t inform you.”
I looked at them and gave them a weary smile
