CHAPTER — LUNA'S POV

I had been trying to catch some sleep for about thirty minutes now. But I couldn't, or maybe I had slept for too long.

With one last turn, I laid straight on my back.

My eyes fluttered open. I hadn't expected to sleep at all.

Everything was uncomfortable. The day itself was uncomfortable.

I remembered how I couldn't tell my brother the truth when he came in with my food.

Flashback

"Luna, wake up." I felt a tap on my arm and my eyes opened. My brother smiled as he told me to sit up and have my food. I agreed; I had been so occupied that I forgot I hadn't eaten for two days. But the discomfort and pain that had taken dominion over my whole body obviously wouldn't allow me to feel anything. It was as if my body had become a breeding place for pain.

I let out a whimper as I sat up and took the food. It was my favorite—meat—and my brother knew how to please me. A werewolf thing. But strangely, I wasn't excited, and my appetite was ruined. Even the French fries had no taste, along with the banana milk.

I loved banana milk, and that combination was unusual, but who cared? I'd always been called an abnormality.

The food tasted disgusting, and I felt like vomiting, but I suppressed it. I didn't want to bother Luca anymore.

"Luna, you know you can always tell me anything, right?"

He looked at me, concerned, green eyes searching mine. I froze, refusing eye contact.

"Jacob told me everything." I jumped inwardly, my eyes wide. Did he tell him he was a vampire?

"Luca, did he tell you he was—" I stopped when I saw his look. Calm. No fury. I doubted he knew.

"He was what?" He knitted his brow, and I heaved a heavy sigh. Jacob hadn't told him yet.

"Uhm, I mean..." I averted my gaze again.

"I—I, what did he tell you, Luca?"

"He said it was a complicated bond between you two, so you had to be together in order to wake up."

"And...?" I waited.

"And when I asked which pack or where he was from, he told me that you would be the best person to tell me..."

End of flashback

I sighed, staring at the ceiling. My room was dark, the moonlight spilling through the glass balcony doors.

I hated lying to Luca. He'd be hurt if he found out. I remembered how hurt he had been when he said that statement. The gleam in his eyes had been replaced by sorrow.

I had just stared at him blankly and told him he was a good guy and that I wanted to rest. He wasn't offended because he knew I always wanted to be alone.

I sighed again, picked up my phone from the nightstand, and checked the time.

1:33 AM?

I had woken up too early. Sleep was unlikely.
