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.

“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.
