Chapter 25 - Luna's ceremony

Adelina's pov:

-"Please cut the act. You know there is no reason for saying those things to me. We are completely alone right now. I have already accepted our deal. As long as you comply with it, I am satisfied. Υοu don't need to convince me for anything, I know your true feelings."

-"What I do or say is because I feel it. Not because I want to convince you for something" he said and gave me a piercing look.

I turned my gaze away. I couldn't stand looking at him or listening to his flattering words anymore. Εven if all this time my heart longed to hear those words, Ι find it hard to believe them. So I did what I always do when I want to get away from an awkward situation, I changed the subject of discussion.

-"Chris told me that I would go alone to the clearing where you and the rest of the pack would be waiting for me. So why are you here? Don't you know that you're gonna be late?"
