Chapter 71

5 Respect

Larisa POV

I head to the room that Eli gave to Clara. I knock and after a few seconds the door slowly opens. She smiles when she sees me. “Good morning Clara” I say. She opens the door completely and I head inside with the clothes I have for her. We are about the same size, so I went through my closet. I set the clothes down on the dresser. “How did you sleep, Clara?” “Better than I have ever in my life.” My heart breaks at her words, but I keep my face even. I don’t want her to see sympathy on my face. I don’t want her to think that I see her as a victim. If anything, she is a survivor even though I have no idea exactly what she has survived. “I thought after breakfast I could give you a tour of the pack. I know Eli has a meeting this morning.” The smile leaves her face as quickly as it came. I walk over until I’m standing in front of her. “What’s wrong Clara?” “I still can’t believe the goddess would choose me for your brother.” “I think she was right for choosing you for Eli.” She looks at me confused. “It would be easy for an Alpha to accept a girl that was raised to be a Luna. Only a really special Alpha would see the value in a mate that is going to learn to be a Luna by his side.” The smile that returns to her face is brilliant. She wraps me in a hug. “Besides, I wouldn’t want a stuck-up witch for my sister.” She starts to laugh and I’m glad that I could make her feel better.

“I’m sorry, I just meant you need to go to your meeting. I will be here when you’re done. Besides, Larisa is going to give me a tour of the pack.” I look back at Eli and he is smiling from ear to ear. “Alright, it’s a date. As soon as the meeting is over

much as you like.” “Thank you, honestly, I’m not used to eating a lot.” I don’t push the issue and we take a seat at one of the tables. “So what color is your wolf?” “She is chocolate brown and beautiful.” “I can’t wait till I get my wolf. I only have a few months to wait.” I look up and Susan, Jade, and Tanya are walking toward our table. I stand walking toward them without saying a word to Clara. I stop in front of Susan. “What are you doing?” “I’m going to meet our future Luna, Larisa” she says with all the sarcasm she can muster. “No, you’re not. I am your friend but I am only going to warn you once. If you say or do anything to hurt Clara, I am

sure of it, Larisa.” A growl comes from behind me and I turn to see Clara’s eyes are black. I hear a laugh and I turn back to Susan. “Do you really think we are afraid of a you little rogue b**ch?” I’ve had enough but before I can deal with Susan, a growl that shakes the room draws everyone’s attention. My father walks in our direction. Everyone bares their neck to him. He comes to stand in front of all of us. “I want the five of you in the kitchen now.” I take Clara’s hand, leading her into the

Luna.” “I apologize, I didn’t see the mark.” “No apology is necessary Gabriel, I just found her” Eli says. “Congratulations on finding your mate, Eli. I just turned twenty-five and I still haven’t found her.” He is nothing like that a**hat Mateo, so I have no problem introducing him to the unmated females in my pack. “Would you like to meet with our unmated females, Gabriel?”

could banish you today for such behavior.” Their eyes fly to mine and drop immediately. “We are sorry Alpha” they all start to plead. “It is not me you should be apologizing to.” The three of them start to say how sorry they are, but I don’t think Susan is sincere. I know she is hurt but I will not stand for her mistreating anyone in this pack. “Are we clear about what the consequences will be if anything like this happens again?” “Yes Alpha” they say in unison. “You are all dismissed.” They rush from the room and I turn
