Chapter 18

Luna watched Grace carefully and tried to imitate her moves.

The other demi in the room didn’t seem to be having any trouble following her instruction.

Grace did a combination of punches, followed by a kick. Luna tried and almost fell on her ass. The other female had come to her room earlier and asked if she wanted to join them training. The idea of being able to defend herself sounded damn good. But so far, she absolutely sucked at it.

Mia, who was closest to her, gave her a little nudge with her elbow. “You’re doing great, seriously. We all fell on our asses when we first started this class.”

Luna wasn’t so sure about that. Mia was probably just trying to be kind. And as Grace ran through the next combination of moves, her anger and frustration grew.

Her face heated when she stumbled again. What the hell was she doing here?

You’re making sure you’ll never be controlled and used ever again.

Yeah, well, it sounded good in theory. It was the in-practice part she was failing miserably at.

She looked down in surprise when Mia curled her fingers around Luna’s and tugged her toward the back of the room. “I’ll show you.”

Her humiliation heightened, but she followed. She wanted to do this, goddammit. She wanted to be able to fight, to defend herself.

She’d seen Grace and her crew of demi fight many times while she’d hidden in the shadows, doing Azel's dirty work, and now she was envious of their skill. So instead of pulling away and fleeing, she nodded at the beautiful redhead. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” Mia smiled back. “This stuff didn’t come naturally to me. Grace has that sleek, lean build, perfect for fighting. I, on the other hand, have curves, a lot of them. It took me a little longer to get used to moving my body in ways I never had before. Eve’s the same. We got booty and we like it.”

Luna chuckled. “I most definitely have booty.”

Mia grinned. “Us booty babes need to stick together. The more you do these moves, the stronger you’ll become, and the easier it’ll get. Believe me, I’m super uncoordinated, but Zenon worked with me as well, and now I can kick ass. So will you.”

“You think so?” Luna hated the desperate note to her voice, but she wanted this. She hadn’t realized how much until she walked in and was confronted by a room full of determined demi capable of beating the shit out of a scum-sucking demon.

“I know so.”

“Do you go out with Grace and fight?”

She shook her head, something moving through her eyes. “No…not yet. Zenon isn’t overly excited about the idea. Eve and Meredith want to as well, but our mates are…protective.”

It must be nice to have someone care about them like that.

Had her mother cared about her once?

The strongest memory she had of her mother was the way she’d died. And Ronan, well, he’d been a child as well. She struggled to remember him sometimes too.

“Maybe you could get Gunner to help with your training?” Mia said.
