This was too humiliating.
Outside the club, Rowan threw me into the back seat and got in himself.

My heart raced. I pinched my palm: “I want to go home.”
With a grim face, he called Ronan to drive. Neither of us spoke the entire way.
I sat as far from him as possible, not wanting to mix our scents even slightly.

“Am I still one?”
“If
you still want to be my Luna, stop making these wild guesses. I don’t have time to coddle you.”

While unpacking, my phone rang. It was his mother.
“Mrs. Mercer, hello,” I answered.
“Come over. We need to formalize what we discussed.”
“Is that necessary?”
“It is because I say it is.”
“…Fine, I’ll be there at noon.”

lara’s perspective:
I arrived at the Mercer family estate around eleven forty in the morning.
The old butler at the door was visibly startled to see me. He clearly knew guests were expected today, but hadn’t anticipated it would be me, the Luna.
His eyes discreetly glanced toward the living room, from which laughter could be heard.
I heard that sickeningly sweet voice ring out like silver bells: “I won again, Brother Rowan! Are you letting me win on purpose?”
