Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756: Chapter 756 - Taming the Fifth Year - Until I Found You - 4

’Let go. LET GO NOW!’

’He’s seeing how pathetic you are. He’s feeling how you’re trembling like a scared baby. He’s going to think you’re weak, that you’re a burden, that you’re exactly the type of broken girl who needs to be saved and...’

But Ren’s arms tightened around her with a deliberate gentleness that somehow felt like giving strength rather than pity.

Not saying anything that would shatter the moment. Not asking what was wrong when the answer was everything and nothing simultaneously. Not trying to fix her with empty words that couldn’t change reality no matter how well-intentioned.

Just... holding her like that was enough, like her being like this didn’t change anything important.

And something about that simple gesture made the tears fall faster, made her melt into his arms with surrender...

’WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS? Why don’t you run? Why don’t you pull away from the crazy girl who just collapsed without apparent reason in the middle of dance practice?’

’WHY DO YOU STAY?’

But Luna knew the answer...

Because Ren was different from everyone else who’d passed through her life.

He’d been different from the very first day.

Time passed while she cried. Luna wasn’t sure how much, seconds, minutes, hours all felt the same when you were broken into pieces trying to remember how to breathe properly through grief that closed your throat.

Slowly, very slowly like the tide receding, the torrent of tears began to diminish. Not because the pain went away, it never did, you only learned to live with it like a chronic injury that ached but didn’t quite kill you. But because even her body had limits to how much it could cry before exhausting itself completely.

The tears became a drip instead of a river flooding down her face. Her breathing stabilized from ragged gasps to almost a normal rhythm. The trembling in her hands calmed to occasional shiver rather than a constant shaking.

And Luna allowed herself... just for this moment... just for this single instant she’d never admit to later...

To feel safe.

Ren’s arms were solid around her. Warm against her skin in ways that reminded her bodies were real and present rather than ghosts and memories. Real in ways memories weren’t no matter how desperately you tried to hold onto them, no matter how many times you read letters that captured words but not presence.

This was firm and certain and undeniably present.

’I’m safe.’

The thought arrived without invitation and Luna almost laughed hysterically at the absurdity.

How could she be safe when her world was crumbling around her?

When her mother was reduced to a crystal wearing away with each use?

When her uncles were constantly maneuvering her toward the not so hidden preference for forced marriage disguised as choices?

When her father was lost somewhere, unknown to her, frozen in a trap that shouldn’t have caught him if Selphira’s suspicions were correct?

But here in this moment, in these arms that held her without demanding anything in return... She felt safe anyway despite all logic arguing otherwise.

’Idiot... You’re being an idiot! This is temporary! It’s going to end... It always ends! You can’t trust that anything good will stay because good things NEVER stay for the unlucky.’
