BACK AT ALLUNA

WULFRIC slowly landed his spacecraft on the open runway of his mansion. After more than a week of space travel, he finally arrived at Alluna. If this was as usual, he would probably feel relieved to be back. After all, this planet was not only a place he owned, this was also his home.

But right now, that sense of relief was not here. There's really only one reason for that, because Aster was not here.

He couldn't believe that there would come a day when his sense of belonging would depend on one person. How far had he fallen? Not that he was complaining. He actually liked this feeling of being chained down by someone.

Was that a bit masochistic? He shrugged. He really didn't care.
