Capítulo 730: Chapter 730 – Taming the Fifth Year – Inner Truth – 2 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Ren couldn’t picture his days without wondering what Luna was thinking. Without the challenge of getting her to smile. Without the satisfaction of seeing her walls crack just slightly when she forgot to maintain them.
Still he sighed, opening his eyes to stare at the ceiling of his room.
‘Why can’t everyone be like men?’ he wondered, remembering how simple it was interacting with Taro, Liu, Min, Zhao or his father.
They said what they thought… Thought what they said.
Not many layers of subtext, often none… and no hidden meanings that required a mind reading level of understanding.
Simple, direct and honest men.
Communication that didn’t require advanced degrees in psychology to navigate successfully.
But then, a traitorous voice in his mind whispered, ‘would they be as interesting?’
Taro was straightforward, loyal, good-hearted… But predictable in ways that made him easy to understand and therefore easy to take for granted.
Luna, Liora and Larissa were complicated.
Frustrating even.
Klein had said he was very wrong years ago… that talking to Luna without mana eyes all his life would have been hell.
Their minds were complex. Required constant attention and careful navigation.
But they were also never boring or predictable… Always challenging in ways that made figuring them out feel like an accomplishment rather than a foregone conclusion.
Ren closed his eyes again, deciding that was a thought for another day.
For now, he just needed to rest.
And wait.
Patiently.
Just as he’d promised.
His body relaxed into the mattress. Tension draining slowly as his mind finally stopped its processing and allowed rest to creep in.
Tomorrow would bring Luna’s decision. Or the day after… Or whenever she felt ready.
He’d wait.
He was good at keeping promises.

Luna’s POV
Luna disappeared into the shadows from the practice hall.
Her wolf wrapped her in darkness, dragging her slowly through the space between lights.
It was faster than walking… more private.
Nobody could see her like this.
Nobody could ask questions.
Nobody could notice the emotions that were probably written all over her face despite her best efforts at control.
Efforts that were crumbling with each passing second as the reality of what had just happened sank in deeper.
The wolf carried her directly to her room, materializing in the darkest corner.
And then, with a movement that might have seemed playful if not for the fact the beast weighed more than fifty Lunas combined, the wolf released her.
Luna fell onto her bed, face up, staring at the ceiling.
Exactly like Ren was doing in his own room at that same moment.
The memories made something warm expand in her chest.
Luna kept chewing on the dance in her mind.
Every step, every word and every moment where Ren had looked at her with those eyes.
She pondered a bit thinking about him.
About how he’d changed since the first time she saw him.
That small boy, with a spore everyone called pathetic but eyes that shone with a determination he had no right to possess given his circumstances.
A determination that suggested he knew something others didn’t. That he’d succeed in what seemed like the worst situation despite everyone’s expectations to the contrary.
She was intrigued then.
And now…
Fascinated, engrossed by his progress, captivated.
Now he was way ahead.
Taller, stronger… More… present.
