The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 232

Chapter 0232 

Get away from her!Nicholas shouted, his voice raw and rough in his halfshifted state. He gripped Jane with his clawshaped hands and threw her behind him. Julian ducked as she flew by. She smashed onto the cage along the opposite wall and fell down to the ground

Nicholas immediately stepped into the space she vacated. He lifted his hand to my neck and gently prodded at my skin. He was tender, even before his hands returned to humanshaped

Am I hurt?I was in shock. I genuinely didn’t know

A scratch,he replied with a small grow. But it didn’t break the skin.” 

I nodded, understanding that was good, even as my b*dy was turning cold all over

We have to go, Nick,Julian said quickly as he came to our side. He glanced me over from head to toe, before his gaze settled on my neck. He narrowed his eyes. She did that to you?” 

Nicholas wrapped one arm protectively around my waist. With the other, he shoved Julian toward the 

tunnels

We have to go, remember?Nicholas said

Together, the three of us escaped into the darkness. We walked as quickly as we could go without stumbling. Julian held the flashlight far in front of us so we could see our exit

When we pushed through the other side, the guards stiffened. They didn’t relax even as it became clear

processing all I had seen and heard and felt

The shattered pieces of my heart felt irreparable, like a broken windshield too chaotic to put back 

together

It’s obvious our dear uncle is deeper in this than we previously suspected,Julian said. He dusted off 

his pant legs with obvious distain. As is Piper’s sister.” 

Nicholas didn’t say anything but he nodded

I watched them both, unable to do more than that

Who knows how deeply this truly goes. Is Mom involved? Is Dad?” Julian continued

They’ve been funding the effort to stop the organization,Nicholas said

Julian rubbed his forehead. Maybe it’s just a front. Maybe that’s why they put me in charge of the investigation. Let the screwup busy himself for a while.” 

JulianI mumbled. I couldn’t truly find my voice, but I didn’t like him speaking of himself that way

Sorry, Piper.He cast me a brief, sympathetic glance

They can’t be involved,Nicholas said. Because if they are, we are in way worse trouble.” 

So your argument is wishful thinking?Julian asked

Nicholas shrugged. Until we find some proof otherwise, then yes.” 

Julian fell silent. None of us moved much, beyond watching the mouth of the tunnel. Soon, the guard
