Chapter 10 - Getting Ready For The Meeting…

• I end up falling asleep while Thomas snacks on the popcorn he got for us to eat while we watched a movie on the giant TV hung on the wall opposite my new bed. We were up half the night just chatting and I think it is safe to say we are now friends, not just protector and protected. Thomas makes me feel normal, like I can once again be the girl I was before. He makes me forget all the bad stuff, the trauma, the torment, Ace and Maddie’s cruelties, and even Ace being my mate. I feel like a person with him and I already love him like a brother.
• The next morning when I wake up, I don’t open my eyes right away. I listen to Thomas breathing deeply next to me and begin to mentally prepare myself to confess all to Luna in our meeting. Finally, I open my eyes and take a look around the room. It has pale blue walls with white trim, the dresser, side tables and door are all a clean, glossy white and the bed is a huge four poster with pale blue curtains tied to the bedpost on all four corners. There is a decent-sized walk-in wardrobe to the left of the TV and an ensuite to the right. There is also a huge window with a large windowsill scattered with cushions that you can sit on while watching the world go by. The ensuite, which I have spent the last 6 months cleaning, has a deep-set bath, shower, sink and toilet and the tiles are white with small pale blue leaves that look as though they are dancing in a breeze.
• At some point last night, Thomas told me that Luna Lily wanted to see me today, so as I gaze around the room, I think of what has happened, but I also think about Ace's warning in the hospital. I don't want to be afraid, I don't want to keep that secret, but can I trust Luna to help me? She could do one of three things. She could ignore me and turn a blind eye, she could believe me or the worst of the options, she could think I am lying and allow everything to remain as it has been. I don't know what to do. I want to trust in my Luna, but can I?
