I Am The Luna

Chapter 132

ZAIA.

I stare out at the passing streetlights as I make my way to the safe house, one of the few places that remained untouched after the final battle.

How am I supposed to feel after living life hurdle after hurdle, heartbreak after heartbreak? It feels surreal, even with the weeks having gone by…
