The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 163

Chapter 0163 

In sleep, I felt safe and warm, like I was rocking in a boat on gentle waves under a bright sunny sky. Here

my troubles seemed so far away. I was at peace, distant from those who wanted to hurt me or bring my 

family harm

Once, I had thought myself to be in Nicholas’s embrace. I almost recognized it somehow, the fierce hold 

of his arms and the wall of his b*dy. His figure had shaped out since we were teens, but the way

he 

embraced was the same. So gentle. So tender, like I was the most important person in the world

But then Nicholas’s arms went away

This good feeling was not meant to last

Soon, I was stirred awake to the thunderous sounds of a loud argument

You purposefully placed Piper into harm’s way!That was Nicholas’s voice. I’d be able to pick it out of a crowded room, though it wasn’t so crowded now

She’s the only one who can feel her wolf. If we don’t follow her, then we have nothing.That voice was Julian’s. He wasn’t quite as loud, though his words held the weight of shame

Then have nothing,Nicholas growled. But do not endanger her! You yourself might as well have put the target on her back for Terry to see!” 

She agreed to go along with it. I did not force her.” 

You likely led her on with false promises of returning her wolf to her.” 

It’s not all that false, maybe!” 

Her wolf is gone, Julian. That is that. There is no reason to put her in further danger. Whatever you were doing before, you have to stop. I don’t care what it was or how close you think you were to a breakthrough.” 

Now, Nicholas. If you would calm down just a second 

Calm down? You want me to calm down?Nicholas sucked in an angry breath. You say that Terry is involved. What, exactly do you think will happen when the public learns the royal family might have something to do with this?” 

Yeah, but then something might actually get done,Julian snapped

More likely it would lead to widespread panic!Nicholas replied, just as sharp

I couldn’t listen to this anymore. I would not continue to rest here while these two argued over what 

concerned me and my wolf

Weakness continued to cripple my b*dy, but I forced my muscles to move until I pulled myself upright 

on the bed

Julian noticed me first. Piper.” 

Then Nicholas turned. His whole demeanor softened and he came closer. Piper, how are you feeling?” 

I waved off his concern. Whether I ever find my own wolf or not, this truth needs to be exposed, Nicholas. That’s the only way this will end.” 

Nicholas shook his head. He spoke softer to me than he did to Julian, but it was with the same kind of stern warning in his voice, albeit more gentle

The pros of revealing this information do not outweigh the cons. Especially when we may not yet have the full truth of it.” 

The full truth is Terry,Julian said

Nicholas looked at him. You have a confession, then?” 

No, but- 

That’s what I thought.” 

I leaned forward, reclaiming Nicholas’s attention. Let us continue to investigate, then. When we have the proof ” 

Absolutely not. You would only be placing yourself in more danger 

I’m already in danger!I shouted. After, suddenly, I felt lightheaded. I clutched my face with both hands and shifted heavily to one side

I felt hot all over, too hot. Like I wanted to pull my skin off. Or, no. I wanted to remove my clothes

Nicholas caught me by the upper arms. His hands were so big and strong, they nearly seared me with their touch. I wanted him to keep touching me. I wanted him to touch me everywhere

Slowly, Nicholas eased me back down onto the bed. Careful, now,he said in a whisper that sent goosebumps across my skin. Not too fast ” 

I bit back a whimper

Piper? Piper, does it hurt?He moved one arm to touch my forehead. You are burning up

I whimpered again, louder this time. I wanted his hand back on my arm. I wanted it on my chest, under 

my clothes

Nicholas, please” 

“I’ll call for the doctor,Nicholas said. When he started to move away, I reached for him with both hands, wanting to keep him right where he was, if not bring him closer. My hold was weak, my fingers were 

useless claws, but he stilled all the same

Do you know what Terry drugged her with?Julian said. He was closer now too. He looked down at me 

with that watchful gaze that never missed anything

Did he see the flush to my cheeks? The way I pressed my breasts forward, up into the friction of my bodice. The way my fingers trembled. The way my l*ps parted

Piper, you have to let me go, so I can call the physician,Nicholas said

NoPlease, no.. Don’t goMy voice was hoarse and whiny. I was begging my heart out. My whole 

b*dy wanted him near

God I wanted him. I wished he would rip off his clothes and mine and touch me all over. I wanted him to bury himself in me to the hilt and claim me as his own. I wantedI wanted….. 

I needed to stop. This was Nicholas, the prince. Not a man I could be with, no matter how much

desired him

We had our separate roles to play, and I would never be his. He would never be mine
