Chapter 70: Réunion

The moment my feet touched the polished marble floor of my brothers’ home, warmth engulfed me. The scent of rain-soaked earth, firewood, and the crisp mountain air swirled around me, a stark contrast to the lingering scent of Zane that still clung to my skin. Before I could even take a step, a flurry of movement rushed toward me.
"LITTLE MOON!"
I barely had time to react before I was enveloped in a storm of arms, laughter, and overwhelming emotions.
"My little moon," Jacob murmured into my hair, his hold on me tight, his voice clouded with emotion.
Bubble’s hands gripped my shoulders as he pulled me back just enough to stare at me, his light blue eyes glistening with unspoken words. "You’re you again," he whispered, then, in a dramatic turn, clutched his chest. "And looking absolutely divine, if I may say so."
Fox chuckled, ruffling my hair, his golden eyes alight with mischief. "I see the celestial glow suits you, baby sister."
Eagle’s silver eyes gleamed as he tilted his head, wind stirring his long black hair. "I knew the moment you transformed. The winds told me."
Tiger, ever silent, simply placed a warm, grounding hand on my back and gave a warm smile. "It’s good to have you back, little moon."
A lump formed in my throat. I had forgotten what it felt like to be surrounded by them—to belong to my family. "You guys... you were with me all along." I whispered.
Jacob scoffed. "Of course we were, you brat. Do you think we’d ever leave our little moon?"
