The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 245

Chapter 0245 

You can’t,I said. He’s one of the benefactors.” 

To hell with it. With all of it. If it keeps you safe, I’ll drag him from the grounds myself.” 

And then what? The Luna brings him back. Or the King? And you are on the outs with them. There’s 

nothing you can do, Nicholas,I said

But, Piper.” 

I shook my head. Nothing” 

He stepped closer to me. He couldn’t hold me here, with so many eyes on us, but with the way his hand 

slid around my arm, I could tell he wanted to

You’re trembling,he whispered

I closed my eyes and tried to gather myself. He was right. I’d been shaken to my core and my whole 

b*dy felt like it was trying to clatter apart

Let me take you back to your room,Nicholas said

I can’t give up.” 

Just for tonight,” he said

God, it was tempting. To just throw in the towel for now. Regather myself. And try again tomorrow. And 

if Nicholas was offering to go with me? If I could feel the comfort of his embrace away from prying eyes

I opened my mouth to agree, only to close it immediately as Lilliana and Olivia came into earshot. Their 

greedy gazes pivoted directly to Nicholas. Olivia slid her way directly between Nicolas and me. I had to 

step back to accommodate her, or she likely would have pushed me over

Lilliana at least, stepped around Elva without endangering her. Although that could have been because 

of how tightly Nicholas was holding her hand

“We were looking for you Prince Nicholas,Olivia said. There is a charming benefactor who I’m sure you 

wouldn’t mind speaking with on my behalf.” 

Or mine,Lilliana said, inching closer. Elva stepped into her path every time she tried to move closer to 

Nicholas. When Nicholas turned his attention to Olivia, Lilliana openly glared at Elva. When Nicholas 

glanced back, she changed her expression to her usual delicate grace

What a phony

Come on, Elva,I said and opened my arms

ButShe looked up at Lilliana again

Poor kid. There was nothing we could do. Nicholas had to spend time with other people. That was the 

nature of the competition

Come now, honey,I said

Elva pouted but she obliged. Nicholas released her hand and she walked into my waiting arms. I lifted 

her 

up against me, and she rested her head against my shoulder

Are you coming, Prince Nicholas?Olivia said, all smiling confidence. She was beautiful in a lowcut 

purple velvet gown. We really shouldn’t keep my benefactor waiting.” 

Or mine,Lilliana said, chiming in

Yes. We’ll go soon, but first I must 

Piper’s fine. Aren’t you, Piper?Olivia asked

I’m sure Julian is around here somewhere,Lilliana said with false sweetness. I’m sure he’d love to 

spend time with you.”
