Chapter 335
Chapter 335:
I shrugged. “Marta might be cool to some people, but I’d never intentionally pick someone like her to be my Luna.” I paused. “I didn’t even think it was possible for me to have kids. Xylon and Xyla… they’re more than a blessing to me. And it’s possible I’ll never have another apart from them. So what’s the point of making them illegitimate, when they’re all I have? Quite unfortunate I have to end up with Marta p>
She brushed her fingers through her hair as she turned away. I watched her amble to the window, still tugging at her roots.
“I’m sorry, Lyric,” I apologized for the second time that night. “I never wanted it to go like this p>
She might not say it, but I knew she was broken by it. She had hoped to be Grand Luna, and I didn’t know anyone more deserving of the position. But unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned.
LYRIC
I didn’t know how to stay mad at Jaris after his explanation the previous night. Even I would’ve chosen my kids if I were in his shoes.
So I didn’t blame him. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t hurt that things turned out this way.
He and Marta would have to get married, and they’d be together forever. For me?
There was no place for me.
It wasn’t like there ever was.
Our flight back to Darkspire was scheduled for that morning. While getting ready in the room, I felt nauseated again and threw up.
It was getting worse. I’d been taking my medicine and all, yet none of it was working. And it was as if the sickness only occurred in the mornings and evenings.
I know I’d laughed at Guinevere and the pack doctor when they suggested it, but the symptoms were really beginning to look like what they suspected. Still, it didn’t make any sense. I hadn’t been intimate with anyone for six years! How could I possibly be pregnant?
And of course, it wasn’t possible to get pregnant through some crazy sex dreams.

But right now, it looked like there was nothing else to do other than perform the test. Maybe it would finally clarify things so I’d be sure there was something else wrong with me, not pregnancy.
With that, I concluded that I’d do a pregnancy test as soon as I reached home.
Jaris’s family was also flying back with us.
Jaris and I reached the airport together and headed to the boarding gate. We sat next to each other in the room of the jet, but a while later, he excused himself to do something, and that was when Marta came in.
She was literally glowing. I couldn’t begin to imagine how happy she must be to be getting married to Jaris.
“Lyric, darling,” she said, crossing her legs as she took the seat Jaris had occupied. “Don’t you think I should be the one in that seat?” She jutted her chin toward where I was sitting.
