Chapter 219

• I'm reminded by the discussion I overheard at the Council meeting between my father and Carlisle. I almost lost my free will that day and I shudder to think about what would have happened if Edward hadn't imprinted early on me. Allowing our pack mates their freedom of opinion and freedom of choice is the one thing that I will fight to protect, because I almost lost it myself.
• "Everyone needs to be entitled to their opinion, Edward, and we can't expect them to just instantly change their minds because it is something we want them to do. Change takes time."
• I can both feel and see how conflicted Edward is about this. The Alpha in him wants to obliterate any one who dares speak against him, but the human knows that I'm right. I take both of his hands in mine.
