Chapter 61

Once you get out of here, I’ll see to it that you are more involved in the pack activities. It’s not in my place to choose a luna for Slade but the moon goddess gave you that position the moment she mated you to him. You both are two halves of a whole, and I hope Slade realizes it soon,”

Before I’d known about their existence, I couldn’t understand why I reacted to Slade the way I did, and it took me many days to finally come to terms with it and the fact that I’d never be able to change the way I feel towards him. I didn’t think I had a wolf all my life, but I did, and my wolf had spoken to Slade even before she did me. I wonder what other things I would discover about myself if given the opportunity.
