Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 240

Letting Go–2

“Please let go of me,” I stammered, too exhausted to fight back.

I knew I should’ve stayed quiet because Grace gave me a cruel smile and slapped me hard across the face. She raised her palm again, and I lifted my hand to block her next strike.

“What’s going on here?” The booming voice made them back away in fear.

I curled into myself, trembling like a fucking leaf. Honestly, I didn’t know how much longer I could last. Everyone here was out to get me, and I was terrified I’d end up dead.

“Nothing, we were just having fun. Right, Aurora?” Lilian said with a fake smile.

I didn’t answer. We all knew what they were doing to me wasn’t fun

“Get up, Aurora, You’re coming with me.”

I didn’t argue. Maybe Roman had come to visit. I struggled but finally managed to stand up and follow the guard out.

“Today’s your lucky day,” she said as we walked.

I didn’t respond, just snorted. There was clearly nothing lucky about today.

When we reached a private room, she opened the door, and Roman was standing there. The tears I’d been holding back started flowing, and I stumbled toward him. Well, more like limped badly.

He wrapped his arms around me, making me feel safe. I let out all the pain and frustration, all the anger and hurt. I cried against his chest until I had no tears left.

“It’s okay, sister. I’m here to take you home,” he whispered in my ear.

At first, his words didn’t register, but when they did, I looked up and just stared at him.

“Really? How did you manage that?” I asked.

“I talked to Thea, asked her to speak with Sebastian,” he shrugged. At first, I didn’t think she’d help, considering how cold she was toward me, but today I got a call to pick up your release papers. The judge said Sebastian was doing it as a favor to his wife.”

Sebastian was my past, and probably had been for a long time. It was time to look forward and admit what I’d been unwilling to accept that we were never meant to be.

As this reality settled into my soul, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, and both my wolf and I exhaled in relief.

I got into Roman’s car. As he drove away, I smiled, feeling the chain that had bound me finally break free.

What I didn’t know then was that an enemy was smiling too. An enemy plotting against me. An enemy none of us had noticed was planning to destroy my life.
