Chapter 785 Onslaught Of Depression

During the last couple hours of her day, Phoenix interviewed more of the Aces High members. She wanted to get rid of most of them, as they were stuck in a mindset that didn't fit in with Paragon.

But the stupid contracts tied her hands behind her back...

As she left her office, heading toward her room, she stopped by the throne room on the first floor. It was quite a detour, given she had to pass the second floor to get to the first, but she needed to.This creation is firmly rooted in the depths of Nøv€lß¡n★

Entering the throne room, she found a little girl rolled up in a ball next to Astaroth's throne.

Luna had been like this for a month since they lost contact with Alexander. She would stay near the throne and sometimes even curl into a ball on it, crying herself asleep.

Astaroth's soul companions had been ejected from him the day he went AWOL and were now stuck as physical manifestations, roaming freely. But they were far from enamoured by this.

They felt empty. Like a part of them was missing.

"Luna... Come and sleep in the bed. You can't stay here; you'll catch a cold again. The stone floor is not suited for sleeping. Please, be reasonable."

Phoenix heard the little girl sniffle, and it broke her heart.

"I miss him *Sniff* so much..." Luna said between sobs.

Phoenix walked up the dais, dropping to her knees next to Luna, and grabbed her in her arms.

"I know... I miss him, too. But I know he's okay. He'll come back. We just have to trust him. Do you trust him, Luna?"

The little girl shook her head, wiping away some tears with her robe.

"Then come with me. We'll sleep in the bed upstairs, and you can even cuddle some of his clothes to have his scent. I won't judge. I've been doing the same."

Luna nodded her head meekly, grabbing onto Phoenix's shoulders.

She acted strong in New Eden, where her role as queen forced her to. But outside, in the real world, on Earth, she was all but.

lightsnοvεl The colours seemed to have dulled. The shows she used to enjoy were now boring to her half to death.

The only time she didn't feel like everything was grey was when she spoke to her mother. Even though she had never met this young man, the woman knew that her daughter liked him very much.

So she did as any good mother would and supported her. She even offered many times to go to the hospital where he was being treated and wait by his side with her.

This only caused Kary more pain, as she knew the truth but couldn't tell her mother. Alex wasn't in a hospital.

They had no idea where he was.

She couldn't go to his side and wait for him to get better. She couldn't look at his face and wish he would wake up.

He wasn't in a coma like they had told the news. He was missing.

She thought about calling her mother today, as well, to have someone to talk to. But she dropped the idea.

'If I call her too often, she'll know something is up...' she thought.

Her mother wasn't dumb, after all.

She was about to head up to take a nap, as it was the only time she stopped thinking about Alex when her phone rang in her ear.

She saw the caller ID and frowned.

Picking up the call, she lay her head back on the sofa, feeling annoyed and thinking she would have to go out today.

"Yes, Mr. Gu. What can I do for you today?" she said flatly.

"Ms. Deveille! Come to the compound, quick! It's Alexander! He's here!"
