Chapter Eighty Two

Chapter Eighty Two

| knocked on the door to my mother’s apartment but there was no response. | had been here for about five

minutes now. Was she avoiding me?. | tried the door; only to discover it was unlocked so | pushed it open,

walking into her apartment.

“Mom?”

No response.

“Anyone home?”

No response.

It was very clear that there was nobody in here; maybe she was out working, but her scent seemed a bit... faint,

like she hadn't been in here for a few days, | was slowly getting the hang of my ‘heightened’ senses now, and |

could easily note things like this.

| frowned, bemused. | searched in the fridge for a drink-anything that would keepbusy, | hated the idea of

returning back to my room. | felt so trapped back there. But the fridge was completely empty. Strange.

| shrugged off this eerie feeling and walked out of her apartment, shutting the door just as | had found it.

A maid had been walking by, and | called to her.

“Have you seen my mother lately?” | questioned, and her eyes flew wide.

“She is ‘your’ mother?”

They should all know that by now, right?, but | guess... | and Kate-my mother-are rarely ever seen together.

“Yes, she is,” | answered, wondering if Thane had wanted that a secret and deciding that | wouldn't go with that,

| would never keep the relationship between | and my mother a secret.

“Oh... wow, uhmm, she had been gone for a few days now.”.

“A few days!”

| couldn't believe she was gone; a sense of dread washed over me. | had felt like something was very wrong

earlier but | brushed it all away, thinking I could be wrong, maybe she had spent the nights in a different room.

Where could she have gone?, she had nowhere to go; out there was dangerous. With all she had been through, |

wouldn't expect that she would leave without informing me. Yes, | had been a bit distant these last few days due

to the ‘incident.’ | had been so ashamed of myself; | couldn't summon the courage to cmeet her and finally |

did, but she is nowhere to be found. | dismissed the maid, giving her no clue that this news troubled me.

Chapter Eighty Two

| walked down the hallways, lost in thoughts. I didn’t know if to feel disappointed or anxious. Just then | heard the

silent sob coming from one of the rooms. | paused; the sounds seemed to be coming from a female, but past

experience had taughtthat | should try minding my business more often, and | had been about to walk off

when | saw the flash of blue hair. Very familiar-looking blue hair. Beatrix. The more reasons | shouldn't be here, |

walked away.

“Riley”

She called my name; she had either sensed or seen me. | inhaled deeply; this was the very sperson who

had betrayed me; | could clearly remember her walking pastlike | was nothing but ‘thin air’ a few weeks;

then she got what she wanted; she had deceived me, and | had lost Thane’s trust once. | shouldn't care about

her; perhaps | should walk right past her just as she did to me,

but then | remembered the woman who had saved my life, she had savedfrom those rebels-for whatever

twisted reasons she did that and now... she was in pain. Everyone needs someone to talk to, no matter how

tough they seem to be; this was what being a Luna

meant. 1

So | walked into the room.

This could be a trap; of course | was well aware; Thane had no clue that | was here, and Axel... well, | hadn't seen

him since the date.

“What's wrong, Beatrix?” | asked, my voice soft even if | was partly faking it.
