Chapter 126

• His smoldering gaze didn’t waver from mine as he gestured to a seat that I fell into with my eyes trying to avoid his. Artemis was howling with joy, giddy with excitement but I held myself from reading any meaning into his actions. I learnt early that I couldn’t be disappointed if I didn’t expect anything.
• ‘Did you not hear Beta Jabari?’ Artemis panted, taking a break from dancing around to speak to me. ‘He called us Luna.’ As Beta Jabari didn’t speak for Prince Valens, I didn’t see her point.
• “What is your name?” His clear, authoritative voice asked. I didn’t hear anything in his voice and I expected to hear disgust, anger even.
