Chapter 99 Between Truth And Pretend

• Luna's POV
• I woke up with that heavy kind of tiredness that no amount of sleep ever fixes. My body had rested, technically, but my heart… my mind… it was like they had been running a marathon all night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Jax’s face from yesterday. His voice, the way he had looked at me. And me, snapping, because I didn’t know what else to do.
• I pressed my palms against my face and just sat there in bed for a few seconds, listening. The house wasn’t quiet anymore. Solenne’s little voice floated from the next room, high and full of energy, like she had swallowed sunshine. Amaka was with her, coaxing her to stay still while brushing her hair.
