Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Chapter 752 - Taming the Fifth Year - Weight of Truth - 3

Ren’s mana felt tense in ways she’d never perceived before, anxiety radiating from his spiritual energy like heat from fire.

Controlled but present, impossible for her enhanced senses to miss.

Still, she walked toward him and took his hand to begin the dance because retreating now would mean acknowledging something was wrong.

’Please let nothing be wrong...’

The music started with that familiar melody that should have been comforting but instead felt ominous.

Fortunately everything seemed normal in the execution if not in the internal feeling...

Hours passed and Luna finally relaxed.

And while they moved in steps they’d practiced so many times the movements had become automatic, Luna allowed herself to feel something she normally didn’t.

Gratitude...

For her life.

For the small yet wonderful moments like this. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Gratitude that felt almost painful in its intensity.

’Thank you,’ she thought while they danced, while his hand guided her with certainty through patterns that had become second nature. ’For being here. For not running when I told you how hard my situation is. For not looking at me with pity or like I’m just a broken victim who needs to be saved as quickly as possible.’

’Thank you for just... being here when I need you most.’

The image of Luna’s mother saying something similar when she was small crossed her mind unbidden, memory surfacing from depths where she usually kept it buried.

’Thank you for just... being my daughter, being here.’

The thought arrived without invitation but with force that made her miss a step she immediately corrected.

That wasn’t the first time...

Lately Luna thought about her mother more often than she had in years.

Maybe it was being close to Ren, who somehow made her feel safe in ways she hadn’t experienced since she was a child.

Safe to be vulnerable without that vulnerability being used against her.

Safe to show cracks in an armor she’d spent years forging.

Safe to admit she wasn’t always strong and didn’t always have answers.

Like her mother had made her feel back when the world was simple and love seemed like it could protect you from anything.

Lykea had never expected Luna to be strong all the time, had never judged her moments of weakness or fear with disappointment or frustration. She’d just held her daughter close and declared with her characteristic intensity that everything would be fine because love was stronger than anything else in the world.

Luna had thought that was dramatic back then, had rolled her eyes at declarations that seemed excessive when you didn’t understand what losing them would feel like.

Now she’d give anything to hear those words one more time, and would never roll her eyes at that embarrassing affection she’d taken for granted when it was abundant.

’No...’
