Alpha's Blind Luna

Chapter 5

Maddie left our side immediately as soon as we reached the ballroom, talking to who I could only assume as classmates. Ty had stayed back with me for a moment and he graciously walked me over to a corner. The smells were a bit overwhelming mixed with the loudness of the music and chattering. I was thankful for Ty’s help.

The wind whipped up again and I leaned back, letting it flow over my skin, my usual baggy clothes didn’t let my skin breathe the warmth of the air. I felt like I was recharging in the moonlight.
