Chapter 144

• I know a Luna has this power over their people, and I never really understood it when Sierra was ours. They are the literal embodiment of a pack mother, and any who needs her feels compelled to confide in her. Looking back, I see that Sierra had this too, that a Luna has a way of lowering walls, making you trust and respect her by merely being close to you.
• I motion for her to walk with me along the tree line as sentinels appear to patrol the grounds, and I feel this conversation is not done with. I can’t let this end this way despite wishing she would disappear. I want privacy from prying eyes because I know the second a guard sees us together, Colton will be out here like a shot thinking the worst.
• Carmen obediently follows me as I turn and gesture to the shaded overhang of the narrow path which leads far along the side and behind the house. This is just inside the rune border here and the closest to the invisible wall as you can get.
