Chapter 116: Chapter 116

I was afraid, would after saying it's Jessy calling me Greg be angry? Indeed, we lived together for a while at Tom's house but I also know that Jessy is not particularly appreciated by Greg and his family because of his membership in the Shield of Rain. Even worse is that he is the son of the murderer of Greg's mother. I can imagine his hatred towards Jessy but at the same time with the actions of the latter, I admit that Greg would be right not to trust him.

But me, his Luna, I continue to have more than suspicious relations with this man. I don't know how Greg will take it but at one point, faced with his desperate plea to trust him, I couldn't help but tell him the truth. It was certainly thoughtless on my part, it would probably put a flea in Greg's ear but I'm tired of hiding the truth from him, I can't stop treating him like a fool, he is so nice to me. I just want...

I felt him move and closed my eyes imagining that he would soon explode in anger but after what felt like forever despite only a few seconds had passed, I felt Greg's hand on my cheek caressing it tenderly.

I jumped at the delicate gesture different from what I expected and looked up curiously at Greg.

He had a frank and sweet smile that played on his lips.

" Greg?"

" Thank you...for telling me the truth."

I gasped in surprise at his moved and touched expression, he had grateful eyes and I knew he had probably followed all or part of the call, and lying to him would have broken his heart again. But after I forced myself to tell the truth knowing it should give him food for thought, he must certainly be happy despite the circumstances.

Isn't the truth liberating?

"I…"

" I told you, I'm not your enemy baby, whatever you have in mind and that bothers you, tell me. I will never be against you, I just want to protect you and I know now that this man is not around you in vain."

I pursed my lips before I wanted to speak but no words seemed to want to cross my lips. I tried again and again but it felt like there was a blockage in my throat and finally, I bowed my head in defeat. Why is it so difficult?

Ah, the question doesn't even arise, it's difficult because I'm afraid of the consequences after having told the truth, the real and main truth.

It would be so much easier to do it, it would save me this constant panic attack when the truth is so often close to being told. But how do you just do it? My secrets are way too complex, it would be such a risky bet despite the love and consideration I can see in Greg's eyes. I love him but can I say that I trust him completely?

No, of course.

It's not because of him either, he does everything to reassure me day by day, but it's my uncertainties that make me feel so reluctant to talk about myself to the man with whom I will spend the rest of my life.

Should I lie to him like this until I die? If we have children, will I also have to lie to my children, will I have to live tormented all my life? I am exhausted.

I placed my head on his chest clutching his jacket as I began to cry, certainly ruining his beautiful suit which must have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Frankly, I'm a bitch to think about the price of Greg's clothes when I have to think about something more delicate.

I felt Greg's hand on the back of my neck as he stroked it.

" Don't force yourself... Go at your own pace, it's already a great joy for me that you told me about this calling. I don't put any pressure on you, my angel, you will tell me everything that bothers you in due time. For the moment, rest on me and do as you see fit. But just remember that the man who loves you more than anything has your back and will always give you all the help you need, anytime and anywhere."

I smiled against his jacket and nodded.

" Even if I do not deserve it, I thank you."

Greg clenched his teeth, he doesn't like this sentence but he's not going to argue about it. Sophia looks weak mentally so he'll just let it go. He leaned down before placing a kiss on the top of Sophia's head.

" I am obliged to you, sweetheart."

I chuckled before pulling out of his embrace.

" I think I screwed up your jacket."

Greg just grabbed his jacket before laughing.

" If it only took a little humidity to ruin my jacket then it wouldn't be worth it. Baby, my clothes are top brand or do I have to remind you that I'm the richest man in the world? I always have everything in premium exclusivity so the quality knows me."

I joined Greg in a giggle as I came closer to him. I lifted my face to ask him for a kiss which he gladly gave me.

" Ah this arrogance, I find it too sexy."

"Don't say things like that when we have an important meeting at the office and I think my pants are getting tighter and tighter."

I blushed before moving away, clearing my throat.

"Hm, I have to justify my salary. Even if your proposal is tempting, I much prefer that we go to work."

Greg smiled before walking behind me.

" Babe?"

I turned at the change in tone and looked at Greg, who had become more serious.

" Yes?"

" Don't forget that you are now part of the Soul Moon pack, you are not a simple individual in the pack, but Luna. The mother of its members and its protector. You must now have only one goal, to ensure harmony in the pack and to protect it from its enemies."

I frowned at Greg's words, they were simple yet heavy in meaning, they seemed to say forget where you came from and your old ties. Now you are Soul Moon, your old membership whatever it is must disappear and no longer have to interfere with that of your new pack. Could Greg know something? My heart quivered as I thought to myself if he knows something, why say such words to me? It's illogical.

I pursed my lips before sighing.

" Do you trust me?"

Greg smiled before crossing me patting my head as he passed.

" I've already told you, my angel, more than anyone."

I felt my heart soften as I gave him a big smile.

" So you're right, being your Luna, only our Soul Moon pack should count."
