Phoenix:
While walking to the Alpha quarters, I missed Jai. I swear I missed him.
He didn't know what these vile women did to me and my face. In my initial days of treatment, he used to flinch while wrapping the cotton gauze around my waist.
Luna Tamia had burned the skin of my back, and it took a whole year to heal.
With a sinking heart, I was trying to make myself stronger. That was not fair.
All this time, I was practicing how to face King Sebastian. This was something unexpected.
Once I reached there, I was ushered into the guest room where Tina was lying on the bed, holding her knee.
Luna Raya and Tamia were also there.
Several lines appeared on Luna Tamia's forehead, maybe due to my mask. I even caught giving a questioning look to Luna Raya. I was sure, Luna Raya must have mouthed silently… Later!
