The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 171

Chapter 0171 

After the confrontation with Mark, I expected to be approached by Nicholas, so I wasn’t shocked when he called me away from the dining room at lunchtime to speak with me privately

He started walking away from the dining room and I fell in step beside him. Eventually, in an empty 

hallway, he turned to face me. A frown was firm on his face

Mark told me that you and Julian started investigating the underground organization again, despite my 

explicit instruction not to.” 

That’s correct,I said. Maybe I should have denied it. I knew Nicholas only had my best interest at 

heart, but that didn’t mean I could roll over to his every whim. He didn’t know all the facts. Maybe it was 

time I told him the full truth, I wasn’t sure

My answer made Nicholas’s face even more severe. This, I imagined, was the face he used to look down those that opposed him politically. It would be intimidating, if I had even an inkling of fear against 

him

You have to stop, Piper. You must give this up and let it go. You are endangering yourself. I cannot allow that.” 

I shook my head. It doesn’t matter if I’m in danger. It’s worth it, if it helps bring them down.” 

Nicholas’s shoulders tensed. If you would listen 

” 

You can’t convince me otherwise, Nicholas, I’m sorry.” 

But what about Elva?he said, voice sharp. What you are doing endangers her as well.” 

Elva is already in trouble. Can’t you see that?” 

He opened his mouth. Closed it. Opened it again. What do you mean?The hardness in his face crumpled some into confusion

I wrapped my arms around my own waist, offering myself as much comfort as I could

Maybe I should have told Nicholas the truth from the start. Maybe if he truly understood the depths of my fear, he would see my side of things. I doubted it he’d always been a stickler for the rules but there was always a chance the threat to Elva could change his mind

Elva’s werewolf abilities are already powerful and growing stronger all the time,I said. How long will it be before the underground organization comes after her and her wolf, like he did for me and mine?” 

That won’t happen. I won’t allow it.Nicholas inched closer to me so that he was only a mere few inches away. I can protect you and Elva both.” 

For how long, Nicholas? While we’re under your roof? But what happens to us when we have to go back 

out on our own?” 

I’ll find a way. I’ll ” 

You will have your own life. Can’t you see that exposing the organization is the only way to keep Elva 

safe for the rest of her life?” 

I refuse to accept that,Nicholas said. He had returned to authoritative princemode. Making plans and statements. I knew he meant what he said, but in reality, he had no way of seeing it through

I didn’t want to hurt him, but I had to crack his fantasy to help him see he couldn’t protect us from the 

whole world, no matter how wellmeaning he was

You couldn’t help me,I said. Three years ago, when the organization targeted my sister and me.”
