Chapter 37: A Heart's Journey In the weeks following their victory over Malachi, Asher found himself spending more and more time with Luna.

Asher couldn't deny the growing admiration he felt for Luna. He found himself drawn to her strength and courage, her kindness and compassion shining through in everything she did.
