And now… now?
After he rejected me? After he banished me? After he threw me away like I was nothing?
Now I was pregnant?
My vision blurred as hot tears spilled down my cheeks. “Why?” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Why now?”
The room had gone completely silent.
My chest heaved.
"Why couldn't it happen before?" I choked out.
Nobody answered.
Nobody could.
"Why now when it's too late?"
A sob escaped me.
My hand flew to my stomach.
My stomach.
There was a baby.
A baby.
The very thing I had spent years begging the Moon Goddess for.
The very thing everyone said I would never have.
And somehow that realization didn't make me happy.
It shattered me.
Because Matteo was gone. He had chosen someone else and he was already building a family with another woman.
Another Luna.
Anot
