Chapter 54
Astrid’s POV
"Will you be my Luna, officially?"
I stood in shock, my heart pounding in my chest. "Can you hear yourself?" I asked, my voice laced with disbelief. "Do you even hear what you’re asking me?"
Kaeleen stood up, his expression serious, his eyes filled with a mixture of determination and vulnerability. "Yes, Astrid," he said, his voice firm. "I know what I’m asking you. And I understand the implications."
He took a step closer, his gaze searching mine. "I can’t sit back and let you go back to Leon," he said, his voice low and sincere. "Not after everything you’ve been through. I won’t allow it."
He paused, his eyes softening. "I’ve grown to care for you, Astrid," he admitted, his voice barely a whisper. "There’s a connection between us, something real. And...I know you feel it too."
"Kaeleen..." I began but he reached out, gently taking my hand in his.
His touch sent a jolt of electricity through my veins, a reminder of the undeniable attraction that simmered beneath the surface.
