The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 157

Chapter 0157 

On the night of the Second Ball, Charlotte helped me add the finishing touches to my costume. 

My sheer butterfly wings hung close to my shoulders, not extending too far, just enough to show. My hair was up and mostly hidden under a sea of brightly colored flowers. My mask covered most of my face. 

leaving only my mouth and chin exposed. 

Looking in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. I doubted anyone else would either. Despite what he 

said, I even had my doubts about Nicholas. 

Charlotte handed me my gloves one by one as I slid them on. 

“Tonight, you can be anyone,” she said. 

No one would know me. No one would know that I’m the outsider tonight. I would simply be part of the 

group. 

I nodded, unsure what to say. I didn’t know how that made me feel. I wasn’t ashamed of who I was, but I 

had always wondered what it would feel like to belon 

As I finished getting ready, Elva, in her wolf costume, ran circles around the bedroom. She gave a little 

growl at the Nanny and then at Mark, who both pretended to be intimidated. 

Mark himself was looking dapper tonight, wearing a crisp tuxedo with Prince Nicholas’s insignia on the 

cuff. He would be attending the ball himself, alongside the nanny, to help keep an eye on Elva 

Elva and I were supposed to pretend we didn’t know each other. If we spent too much time together, 

everyone in the ballroom would be able to guess my identity simply from Elva’s presence. 

I bent down to give Elva a hug. It would hurt me to have to pretend not to know her, though I maintained. 

to keep an eye on her myself. If she needed me, I would be there in an instant, rules of the event 

damned. 

Elva didn’t seem to mind so much. She hugged me tightly, her lanky arms around my neck. “Goodbye, 

stranger Mommy.” Then she giggled. 

I laughed too, just a little. “If you need anything tonight. 

“Oh, Mommy,” she said, and patted my arm, like I had done so many times with her. “Everything will be 

alright.” 

I nodded. She was right of course. She was in very good hands, and I didn’t need to worry. 

But worrying about Elva was easier than worrying about myself. I had no idea what to expect tonight. 

Elva, Mark, and the nanny went down to the ballroom first. After waiting a few minutes, I followed in their 

path. 

“Good luck tonight,” Charlotte said at the doorway.
