A Luna for Alpha Kieran

[ Back to the game]

Autumn’s lips trembled as they neared Lyla’s ear. Her breath hitched, her lashes fluttered shut.

And then, so quiet that only Lyla could hear, she muttered, "Let’s pretend like I said something."

For a moment, nothing.

Then Lyla blinked... just once.

Her shoulders didn’t stiffen. She didn’t flinch. She simply turned her head the slightest degree...as if brushing a lock of hair aside...and gave the faintest nod.

No one saw it.

But Autumn felt it.

A moment of truce in the midst of a hostility that shouldn’t exist.

A thread of something... buried somewhere... Almost sisterly. Even if Lyla didn’t know... or maybe she did.

Then Autumn pulled back and returned to her seat.
