Chapter Eleven

“Do not go, Malia,” Luna begged of her, tugging on her hand.

Malia bent down to kiss her sister’s cheek. “I have too, lamb. We knew this would happen. As soon as I am settled in and marry I will bring you and Mama to live with me. Would you like that?”

Her hazel eyes went wide. “In a real house, like the ones in the village?”

Malia laughed softly, “Much bigger and went you are old enough I will give you a Season too.”

Worry creased the little girl’s face. “Mama told me I could not do what you are doing. I am not to be a lady.”

Confused her brows creased with thought? Why would her mama tell Luna she could not be something? A child should be allowed to dream about being anything, but this made Malia wonder about who Luna’s father was. Her mother had been gone to London for a month and nine months later Luna had been born. Mama had been closemouthed about the whole affair and refused to talk about the girl’s father.

There was something about the way she had not even told the family about the mystery man.

Malia always suspected it was a man from her mother’s past that she knew when she lived as the Marchioness of Lakewood. Now that she would become a fixture of that world, she had the chance to find out. Her sister was not a bastard since her mother was still married to her father, but she was not his child.

Malia tweaked Luna’s nose. “You can be anything, lamb. Mama just doesn't want you to be hurt.”

“But will it hurt you to marry a lord?” she asked with the innocence of a small child.

“No,” Malia answered quickly and gave her one more kiss before getting into the carriage her father had sent.

She knocked on the roof and the connivance started forward. Luna called out for her once more and she peeked out the window to see her Uncle Dani scoop her up.

Malia turned back in her seat as tears stung her eyes. She was going to miss her sister; since she had been born they had never been apart for more than a few days.

But with a steely resolve she decided these would be her last tears, from here on she would be unbreakable.
