Chapter 135
“Thank you, Luna,” I say quietly. I’m still struggling with everything that happened this week. I don’t know how the instructors know where to hit you so it breaks you, but Alpha Will hit me hard with the ‘You’ll never amount to anything‘ comment this week during Sensory class. He said it to both of us, but by then Logan was already so raw that I’m not sure he even took in what Alpha Will was saying.
I did though. Those words are words I’ve heard from my father over and over my entire life.
“Will you walk me back to the dorms tonight, Liam?” Mia asks.
1 look at her, surprised. She’s never asked me to walk her back. before.
“Sure thing, Luna. I’ll wait for you outside.”
As I walk out see Christina sitting on the table, her face pressed against Alpha Sebastian’s shoulder. He has his arms wrapped around her as if he’s literally holding her together.

“Is this what surviving feels like?” I ask, attempting to make a joke. It falls flat.
