NovelEnglishChapter 486 Stella No matter how much I asked, Selena refused to tellabout this club.
She shook her head and waved a hand at me. Scolor had cback into her cheeks. She thought it was the vodka, but I'd been subtly sending out shealing energies to her. Nothing overt, just tiny touches to her liver and stomach. I knew she'd be mad if she thought I was manipulating her body...and that was something I'd need to ask the Moon Goddess for guidance about. Wasn't it okay to use my talents for good use, even if the other person didn't know and might not want it? "Quit grumping about it,” Selena's voice broke into my thoughts. “I just don't want you spilling the beans to my sister or your dads. They'd never let us go where I'm planning to take you." "Why not?" I thought I was being clever, trying to get her to reveal more to me, but Selena just laughed and wagged a finger at me.
"Nope. You'll find out when we get there. We'll leave later tonight, oh, like around nine. That'll get us there by..." She paused and grinned. "Not telling you, in case you decide to use sof those freaky tracking talents or whatever you've got going on to map out all the possibilities within travel distance." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. “You're just being ridiculous now." "Are you tellingthat if my sister gets a whiff of our plans and confronts you to your face, you're not going to tell her everything?" Selena sounded gruff, but I could also tell that she was curious.

I could feel my expression twist as I tried to keep it looking neutral. I'd never talked much about this to anyone. "I did basically lie to them from birth until just a short tago.” "About being a Celestial," she said.
I nodded. My heart was heavy, but I also couldn't deny it. “I was born knowing and aware, and guided by the Moon Goddess to only reveal my true self over time. If I'd done it right away, my parents wouldn't have been able to handle it. Everything has to happen at the right time." "I don't believe in the Moon Goddess,” Selena said. Her eyes flashed.
"How can you not believe-" "I mean, I believe that maybe once upon a time, there was skind of thing or whatever, but is she still around? No. Does she answer prayers? Hell, no." I wasn't quite sure how to answer this without making her angrier. "It's not her job to answer prayers. We have to make our own choices and be responsible for them. The Moon Goddess is there to guide us, but in the end, we all do what we do on our own." "So why bother with her, then?" Selena demanded. She got up from her chair and went to one of the shelves to run her fingertips down the row of books before turning back around to faceagain. "If we can't count on her, why should any of us ever ask her for help?" "I..." Once again, I started to speak but couldn't find the words.
Selena gavea triumphant look. She stabbed her finger atin the air. "Ha! See! You don't know, either. And if a Celestial can't figure it out, I sure as hell can't be expected to." She had so much anger inside her, and I thought I could understand a lot of it. I wished there was a way I could help her through it, or take it away...but that would mean actively shifting her emotions. I'd just told her all about how we have to make our own choices and be responsible for them. Helping an upset stomach was one thing, but it would've been hypocritical ofto manipulate her into letting go of her angst.
That was something my aunt was going to have to work through on her own.
The door to the library opened to reveal my mom.
Selena shota look. "I thought you locked it." I could only shrug.
