“Luna” by Vera Vuscoe

*Author's Note* Sorry if this is inaccurate in any way, I just learned about LGBTQ+.

The name brushed through my head like her tail along my back. Like a stray spark of hope. All of which were gone. Lo...

“Please, don’t do it,” Bryar begged. “Bryar. You know I have to,” I said. “Lily-” he started, but I shook my head, pulling out my sword. “You have Kailani. I have nothing.
