Nora, seeing how upset I was, softened her tone and asked carefully, âWhatâs the matter? Did they mistreat you?â
Maybe the emotional weight had become too much, kept inside for far too long.
Add to that the struggle with amnesia, the Loneliness without support, and the constant fear of being deceived or manipulated.
Feeling overwhelmed by Noraâs kind concern, I suddenly couldnât hold back anymore.
âYes,â I confessed, dropping the facade of strength I usually put on.
âDo you remember that rift in the sky? I was trying to close it, but something went wrong, and I ended up in this world.
I landed right on the border between the two worlds, where I ran into the vampire.
â
Nora gasped and said, âSo the vampire attacked you and you lost your memories because of it?â
âYes.
â Recalling what happened later made me feel even worse.
âAfter I lost my memories, I didnât remember anything until I met Caleb at the border.
He told me about my past, that Iâm the Luna of the Thorn Edge Pack, and that heâs my husband.
We have two children.
To figure out my past, I went back with him to the Thorn Edge Pack, only to find him being intimate with his secretary.
The second time I went there, I found them naked together in a bed.
â
âWhat?â Noraâs eyes widened in shock.
I managed a bitter smile and continued, âStill, I hoped that was a misunderstanding.
So, I went back today, thinking of giving him a chance to explain properly, but⦠He introduced his secretary as his future Luna at a party.
â
âThatâs terrible!â Nora slammed the table in anger and gritted her teeth.
âCaleb is despicable! He doesnât know how to appreciate such a wonderful wife!â
I couldnât find any words and just managed a wry smile.
Nora took my hand in a comforting gesture, consoling me, âDarling, donât dwell on it too much.
Donât worry, you have me.
Iâll always be your friend and Iâll always support you.
Men arenât everything in life; the most important thing is to love yourself.
â
âExactly! I nodded vigorously.
â
Suddenly, Nora had an idea.
âDebra, Mr.
Pierce is so good to you.
Why donât you stay with him and forget about that despicable Caleb?â
I shook my head with a sad smile and replied, âItâs not that simple.
You canât just forget your
feelings whenever you want to.
â
Nora sighed.
âYouâre right.
â
After a moment of silence, she asked nervously, âDebra, since youâre not part of the witch clan and donât intend to be with Mr.
Pierce, does that mean you want to Leave?â
I saw her grip tighten, tension filling her eyes.
T was taken aback.
We hadnât been friends for long, and already Nora seemed so attached?
It appeared she truly valued our friendship, perhaps seeing me as a beacon in her life, feeling a deep sense of gratitude and connection.
Her actions suggested as much.
Without dwelling on it too much, I reassured her gently, âNora, donât worry, Iâm not going anywhere soon.
Iâm planning an engagement party with Andrew in a few days to celebrate our commitment publicly.
â
âWhat? Really?â
Noraâs expression brightened with sheer joy, and she exclaimed, âDebra, are you really going to have an engagement party with Mr.
Pierce?â
