Chapter 243: CHAPTER 243 – I just want one thing….
She was shocked by Alex\'s words would be an understatement.
She was stupefied by that offer.
Luna knew some of Alex\'s powers, she had seen him train Alice, Ann, and Noctura.
With that alone, she could tell that the mysteries surrounding Alex were a bit too unique and dangerous for this world.
So, she knew how big of a deal it was.
Luna has seen the pace at which Alice and Ann grew after Alex came into their life.
She had done a history check on them, so it was not hard to find out.
So, she also had an idea about the fact that Alex could somehow raise the raiders\' power.
\'I could literally ask you to make me as powerful as them!\'
Luna screamed inwardly as she tried to calm herself down.
Alex could see that Luna was shocked, and he knew why she was shocked, but he had to do this.
He couldn\'t leave her without a reward.
Both of them stared at each other.
None of them spoke a word, one was a bit too shaken to say anything, while the other just sat in his place with a carefree look on his face.
Both were busy with their own thoughts until Luna\'s eyes brightened with a strange glint.
\'Wait- He said, I can ask for \'whatever\' I want….\'
Luna\'s mind drifted back, and she recalled every single moment she had been living for the past months, trying to find a way to get close to him.
She had been trying constantly, but even if she was frustrated that Alex was not showing any signs, she didn\'t give up.
Her love for him won\'t let her give up.
But…
\'What if….\'
What if she wished for something that could finally make all of her struggles finally bear a result? Explore more stories at mvl
What if she wished for the thing that she always wanted?
Her eyes inadvertently moved to look at Alex who was still sitting there relaxedly with the same carefree smile.
\'Should I….?\'
Luna was really tempted to wish for it.
It was something she could ask.
It was not too much, at least not in her eyes.
\'I want your love….\'
She wanted to say that out loud, but somehow those words just won\'t come out of her mouth.
\'Why??\'
\'Why can\'t I speak?\'
Luna didn\'t get why this was happening, but as she looked at Alex again, something clicked inside of her.
\'…. Do I really want it?\'
\'Do I want him to love me just because I want it?\'
\'Will that even be called love?\'
\'Will he accept it in the first place?\'
\'No one likes being forced to love someone, and the Alex I fell for would not like it for sure.\'
Many thoughts flooded Luna\'s mind.
She started reconsidering everything.
Yes, she wanted Alex to love her, she wanted that no matter what.
She was ready to do anything for it.
But what she wanted was his real love, not just something he would provide her because she wished for it, that is if he even fulfilled her wish, which she was sure is impossible.
She understood why her voice was stuck in her throat, why she couldn\'t voice out her desire.
\'My heart knows that this is not the right way to get Alex\'s love….\'
Even if her logical thinking told her that she should wish for it as that would end all of her frustration of not being able to get close to Alex, her heart knew the truth.
It knew that it was impossible, so it stopped Luna from destroying whatever she had built till now.
And Luna was thankful for it.
\'Sigh….\'
She sighed in relief.
She was relieved that she didn\'t go ahead and speak her mind.
She looked at Alex again, and now, she just saw a light smile on his face as he looked right back into her eyes.
It was as if he was able to tell what she was going through.
It was as if he knew what she was going to do, and why she stopped.
His lips which were curled upward, moved.
"You can take your time, I\'m not in a hurry."
Alex assured Luna that she had time.
But in reality, Alex had now judged Luna to be good enough to be finally part of his life.
Not as a lover, but he would still have her close.
She was not his lover yet, it was too early for that, or maybe it was not, but he didn\'t think it was the right time.
Luna, however, just smiled as she heard his words.
"It\'s all right, I already have something in my mind…."
Luna shook her head.
She didn\'t need time more than she got, she had already made up her mind.
She had thought of something that could help her in the long run.
And she felt that this was the best wish she could ask for.
"Oh? Let\'s hear it then."
Alex smiled as well, curious about what Luna was going to ask.
His reward was actually a test as well, a test that Luna had passed, and when she passed the test, Alex decided to give her time to think of something.
How did she pass the test? And what test did she pass?
It was simply a test to check what Luna had in her mind, what she really wanted.
Alex knew that she loved him, it was clear as day, heck, Luna had said that before, in front of Alice and Ann, so it would be weird if he didn\'t know.
But he wanted to know what she would do in this situation.
He knew that he had been ignoring her approaches for a while, and he knew that she must be frustrated, but that was the whole point of this test.
Would she try the bait? Would she try to take the easy path and not think about his opinion?
Alex could read Luna\'s emotions like an open book since he was using the new ability of his incubus bloodline.
One that he got after reaching epic rank.
\'Empathy\'.
This ability made it easier for him to read his opponent\'s emotions, so he could see her emotional struggles like it was a movie.
So, when he finally saw that she resisted the temptation, he smiled at her.
He smiled at the fact that she passed the test and didn\'t disappoint him.
"The only wish I have is…."
So, when Luna told him her wish, he listened carefully.
Her wish did make him raise a brow, but then a meaningful smile graced his lips.
[She\'s smart and she knows how to take a safe approach.]
Sophia, who had been almost non-existent for some chapters, finally made her appearance.
\'She was always smart, that\'s her strongest point…\'
Alex just smiled, and Luna who saw his smile, wore a wider smile than him.
"Granted."
Alex sealed the deal with those words of his.
