Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 434

“No, I promise they’re fine.” He tells me, gently rubbing my back.

“Just take me back right now.”

“Aeliana—”

“You will send me there again, so why wait?” I pull away from him. “All the council has to do is say I’m insane, and you’ll stash me back there, so please let me go now, let me go before I remember what it feels like to be free, before I start to get used to a life you won’t let me keep. Please, King, please take me back. I want to go back now.” I cry out, pulling at his shirt.

“You’re not going back there, baby.” He tells me. “You’re never going back to that place, I promise.”

“No more,” I beg, my gaze falling. “Hone—Kingston, please don’t ignore me like last time, give me this—give me…you have to.” I hiccup, struggling to breathe and talk through the heavy sobs. Losing Kingston hurt, but losing myself? That hurts even more. I can’t repeat this cycle. I’d rather spend my life locked up in that shithole, away from people who can see me lose my identity. “I can’t face anyone, my life is—”

“What happened?” Someone gasps, my gaze drifts to the door, and I find Maddox back with the doctor, dragging in a machine. “You were with her for ten minutes.” He scolds. “What did you do?”

“She thinks she’s crazy.” He says, the words foreign on his tongue.

“Luna Aeliana, you’re not crazy.”

“Evelyn,” I sniff. “Where is Evelyn? I want to leave, get my nurse!”

“Calm down, Luna.” The doctor tells me.
