I Am His Luna

Chapter 45

It felt like a huge boulder was pressing down on me. The air around me was thin, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were extremely heavy. I wanted to move my limbs, but intense pain shot through me, numbing all other senses I had.

“Andrea.”

I heard someone call my name.

Who was it? Who was calling me?

“Andrea, wake up, okay? Please…!”

Someone was holding my hand. I could feel the hot breath on the back of my hand.

Who could it be?

My wolf, Andy, purred from the back of my mind. “It’s time for you to wake up, hon.” From her voice, I could tell that Andy was tired. Was it because of all the healing she did to me? “Someone’s calling you. Wake up, don’t let him worry anymore,” Andy said.

I tried to move my fingers with all my might. With the slight twitch on my fingertips, I heard a loud noise rang out.

It sounded like a chair scratching sharply across the floor. “Doctor! Her fingers moved!” A man’s voice shouted excitedly. It sounded like his voice was coming from a great distance and gradually burrowing

into my ears. A hand pulled my eyelids up, and a beam of light shone into my eye. “Wait a while more. She should be fine.” “Really? That’s great!” A girl’s voice rang out. Who was that?

“Okay, keep your voice down. You’ll disturb Andrea in her rest.” “Why?”

The messy conversation buzzed in my ears, but I didn’t feel it was noisy. Instead, it felt like a fire was burning in my chest, warming my body. I thought I would die alone, but so many people in this world actually cared about me.

“Wake up, okay?” the deep male voice called out again.

Fighting with all my strength, I finally managed to open my eyes after several attempts. Dazzling light flooded my vision, and as I blinked rapidly, the scene in front of me came into focus gradually.

“You’re awake!” Enzo’s handsome face appeared before me while Lilla and Kyle rushed over

“I…” I wanted to speak, but my voice was hoarse when I opened my mouth.

“Don’t talk yet,” Enzo told me. Then, he got up to get a glass of water.

He placed one hand on my shoulder and lifted me slightly, bringing the glass of water to my lips and letting me take careful sips.

The warm water ran down my throat, and I felt much better.

“How do you feel?” Enzo asked.

I cleared my throat before I replied, “Fine.”

Enzo’s tense muscles relaxed instantly. His right hand, holding the glass of water, was shaking. After putting the glass down, he breathed deeply and said, “Do you know you almost scared me to death?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I…. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize.” Enzo tightened his arms around my shoulder, his lips pressing against my hair. “I don’t want your apologies. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I failed to protect you.”

I was at a loss.

It wasn’t Enzo’s fault. He had already done too much for me. He let Bernhard go because he didn’t want to hurt me, which was the cause of this dangerous incident in the first place.

If that attack had landed on Enzo instead… I would rather die instead of him.

“Okay, it’s lucky that everything’s fine!” Lilla pounced on my bed and grabbed my hand. “You almost scared everyone to death, you know? I thought I was going to lose a good friend!”

“A friend…?”

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to be friends?” Lilla’s smile drooped, and her eyes widened.

“No, that’s not what I mean,” I said, shaking my head. I always thought that the concept of ” friend” was out of my reach. Melissa used to say she wanted to be friends with me, but it was all just a lie.

But now, it seemed that I had real friends.

“Enough. Stop disturbing Andrea, Lilla. She just woke up, and she needs to rest.” Kyle grabbed Lilla’s golden braid and pulled her away from the bed.

Kyle winked at Enzo, then dragged Lilla by the neck out of the ward.

When Enzo and I were finally alone, he moved and sat down in front of me.

“Did you watch over me the entire night?” I asked him. “How could I sleep with you in the coma?” There were prominent dark circles under Enzo’s eyes and a faint stubble on his chin. This was the first time I’ve seen the proud Alpha look haggard and disheveled.

“I didn’t kill him,” Enzo said after a few seconds of silence.

I was dumbfounded.

In fact, I thought Enzo would definitely have killed Bernhard after the atack.

But Enzo told me otherwise.

“Why didn’t you?” Enzo took my hand, rubbing his thumb lightly against my palm as he said lowly, “He’s your father, after all.”

“He wanted to kill you.”

“But you took the damage for me.” Enzo frowned after he said this, a deep crease between his brows.

“Andrea,” Enzo called me suddenly, a serious look on his face. “I hope this will be the last time. Please always, always put your life first in the future, okay?

“If anything happened to you, it’s no different than killing me.”

“I couldn’t think of much that time.”

“I know, so this is the only time I’ll let you do it. Next time, please stand behind me. I’m your man, and I should be protecting you instead. If I can’t even protect you…” Enzo trailed off with a wry smile on his lips. “Then I’ll feel like the biggest failure ever.”

Enzo’s eyes were bloodshot, and he rested his chin on my shoulder. He let out a heavy sigh and murmured, “Can I hold you to sleep? Just for a little while?”
