Chapter 408 – Perfect Atalaxian Luna

• Pippa and Elias argue quietly for a few moments at the center of the room as I quietly work my jaw back and forth, attempting to ease the pain as I go over my options in my mind. I pick up on about half of their words – Pippa’s insistence that I absolutely cannot go to anything tonight since my confinement is started, Elias’s counter that if I don’t go, Gabriel will see it as subterfuge and find a way to punish me for it.
• I only really snap back to the moment when Elias murmurs his farewells and storms from the room, pulling the door shut hard behind him.
• I look up to see Pippa standing with her hands on her cheeks, looking anxiously at the door after her Alpha.
