How could I open my eyes and the first thing I could see was the explosion ofst night happening
before me.
Despite falling asleep after making a grand escape from yesterday’s chaos thanks to Daman, I
woke up and I felt totally disconnected from everything, like I was not really here. I couldn’t shake
the feeling that something terrible like that happened.
The world around me was slowlying back into focus, but everything felt different. But it was
also like I was seeing it for the first time.
My body felt heavy and slow like I was wading through mud.
My thoughts were racing and I tried to breathe properly through my nose.
This was torture.
The explosion was all I could recall fromst night and
nd the fact that I was waking up at exactly dawn which meant I passed outst night.
I opened the door to my y room and two tall men, broad and wide hanging on each side of my door
stopped me from going any further.
“Who are you?” I shrieked at both of them.
Before any of them could make a sound, Luca’s voice echoed from behind me.
“Did they startle you?” He asked.
I turned around swiftly, “who are they?”
“They’re few of your new guards now,” Luca replied.
“Guards?” I tried to breathe.
“Yes. Damon has enforced more protection around you because of what happenedst night. The
event left you quite in another dimension. You were barely here with us despite getting home”
I nodded, understanding Damon’s intention.
“So expect to be followed around more cautiously. As Damon has pointed me to investigate more
on the explosion, we don’t know where it came from or what location at the carnival it took off. So
you need to be careful,” Luca addressed.
“Okay thanks” I breathed. Tossing away any brief image ofst night that was trying to hinder my
morning.
The air around the house became straight. Everyone hardly smiled and when they managed to get
a hold of my gaze, they would look at me like I was the most pitiful thing they have ever seen.
Damon was busy the entire time, his cold expression had turned solemn and hard, mixed with
anger and frustration.
Anyone could tell his mood had been messed with and it was because after so much searching for
who could be behindst night’s explosion, they couldn’t find a trace.
I wanted to lift Damon’s mood so bad. If arched me a bit that despite yesterday and the little time we
spent causing me to see even a fringe smile on his lips had to be ruined by something so traumatic.

Damon wasn’t an easy man to impress and waving a lollipop in front of his face won’t get him alight
again. It would anger him more. Sol needed a perfect strategy that would briefly drive his mind from
the explosion to something else.
But first I had to do my duty as the Luna of the pack.
Dressed in a skirt jumper, a white blouse and a coat, I set out with a few of the house maids and my
many guards to the ce the explosion had taken ce.
My grounds were almost shaken a few times but I had to stand it.
Some things in life were uncalled for and this was the only way I could write the uncalled things.
Not getting wavered by the event that unfolded.
I got to the ce and my guards halted when I did.
The air was still covered in fading fogs and the ce carried the smell of heavy metallic and dried
blood.
The ce, with every booth and kiosks were shattered into pieces, leaving no trace of what they
were originally.
My heart instantly started to ache seeing multiple dead bodiesy side by sides like what was being
purchased.
Wailing still took over the ce from heavily injured people and I tried so hard not to shake, not to
dare shed a tear,
I immediately encouraged the physicians I brought with me to start on with treatments and urged
Gwen to get on with dispensing of the light food we’ve brought
I moved around the ce to attend to a lot of people. The ones that had managed to survive like
myself, I promised myself that they would never ever get to repeat something as traumatic as this.
The hopeless look on their faces broke my heart multiple times. I could smell their fear, their despair
and brokenness.
A woman holding her injured child getting treated immediately started to wail.
“This was thest straw!” She cried.
“Mrs Donovan, you do not have to treat us, even if you do treat us and feed us, how do we continue
to live?” She wailed and my breath hitched.
“My kiosk for the carnival was my only source of ie, and now I’ve lost everything, Everything,”
I pursed my lips together to conceal any shaky feeling that would trade my voice.
I let myself speak.
“Do not worry, ma’am, I stretched out a smile.
“I promise you and everyone else. Every booth and every kiosk and everything ever sold in it would
be reced.”
Gasps immediately erupted in the ce and felt my heart warming up when their faces of despair
started to lit with joy.
And suddenly it felt like the heavy wounds on their bodies felt like nothing as they looked at me.
So I continued, letting my words linger and standing my ground.

“Everyone will be freely treated andpensated. And I also promise you, you will all never go
through that again,”
“You’re too nice Mrs Donovan!”
“Bless your heart”
Thank you so much”
The ce started to feel hopeful again as multiple gratitudes filled the air.
I felt proud of myself too.
H**d from the child that was being treated, that I was intensely looking at and raised my head to
meet Steven’s eyes wandering over me
It had something I couldn’t quite decipher.
When I held his gaze, his lips pressed into a smile.
“Thank you

He mouthed at me from where he was standing.
I nodded and took a turn towards Gwen who was urging me about the people I haven’t met yet.
If I was being honest, I enjoyed my visit to the injured. I love how spirited they became after the visit
and how their spirit influenced my depressed state to discem.
I got more entourage and people warmed up to me like they haven’t before.
I knew if Damon was with me they wouldn’t dare.
But how I loved how connected i felt with them.
As I concluded my time at the shattered carnival, I felt a sense of readiness to return home.
However, a thought of Damon’s mood crossed my mind. I brought joy to numerous people. What
can I do to help my husband be more lighthearted? With great enthusiasm, gathered my
companions and embarked on a journey to the mall, determined to discover the perfect gift for
Damon,
After hours of shopping, I realized Damon wasn’t an easy man to please.
Everything I came into sight with felt like he might throw me a ful look or sneer at it with
distaste.
And it left me sighing more than a hundred times.
And my guards were looking like they needed some break.
I finally picked up a few things and hurried back home.
I got home happy and ready to give Damon my gift.
I immediately showered, got dressed and puckered up.

I waited in my room for a while and when he didn’t show up, I decided to move around the house to
go to him myself.
I met Luca around who told me Damon was deeply p**d and didn’t want to be disturbed.

Despite being persistent, he urged me to go back to the room and then assured me to wait with a
promise that Damon would be with me tonight.
Though his assurances didn’t sound as solid as I could tell. I did listen to him and went back to the
room to wait for Damon.
Buried under the bed covers. My eyes constantly darted to the time every now and then. Staring at
the door and then the clock waiting for Damon to finish whatever he was be
ing p**d about and walk into the dark room.
I tossed and tumed, bing very impatient but after hours of waiting.
Damon didn’t show up.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
