Chapter 33. His Request

It's been a quiet three days. I have rarely seen Darius and Kellan; they have taken Sage, Emalicia, and a few others on dates. The contestants seemed to be calmer as if Aurora was the one making them crazed.

Either that or the fact Aurora was thrown out for her actions has made them realise their glares and words towards me might actually impact their progress here.

Either way, no one has called me Mutt since that night. There have been no sly digs or petty behaviour, and while I want to say it's great, it won't last long. These women are like vultures; soon, one of them will slip, and it will return to how it was.

The last few days, though, have made me realise how hectic and crazed it was. The whole thing became a sham and just chaos. We're meant to be proving we're the best Luna for the king. Yet right now, I'm not sure any of us are. We have all done things we shouldn't.

We have all acted in selfish, irresponsible ways.
