Chapter 158

• As the weeks passed following our night at the club, I settled into my duties as Luna and found that I genuinely enjoyed the responsibilities that came with the role. The pack had embraced me with surprising warmth, and the initial resistance I felt toward becoming Luna now seemed almost foolish. The incident with Valeria had been the last of any significant trouble within the pack, and since then, she had remained out of sight, further easing my transition into my new life.
• The nightclub altercation had marked a turning point for me, prompting Dominic to insist that I begin training. He was adamant that I learn to defend myself, urging me to rely on more than just my teeth for protection. Despite my smaller stature compared to the other she-wolves, I possessed an agility and quickness that worked to my advantage. Dominic took it upon himself to train me personally in the afternoons, and I quickly realized just how formidable he was in combat. His skill and precision were unmatched, and despite my best efforts, I stood no chance against him.
• Dominic kept me informed about the situation with Gabriel, though he spared me the more gruesome details. As Luna, I felt it was my duty to be fully aware of everything happening within the pack, no matter how unpleasant. Gabriel was still very much alive, confined to Dominic’s dungeons, where each day he endured relentless torture in an effort to extract information about the hunters' plans. Gabriel’s resilience was impressive, but Dominic was confident that he would eventually break.
