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.

She slides it down and her cheeks are red. “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 I’ll come to find you.” He nods at me before he turns to leave. “Eli” she says before she walks over and goes up on her tippy toes. She kisses Eli’s

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

I promise that my men and women are fierce warriors.” “I’m sure they are Gabriel. Eli and I would love to come and tour your pack.” He smiles “absolutely, maybe Eli’s mate is one of my unmated females.” “I appreciate you thinking of my son but he has found his mate and our future 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

but he does as I ask. As soon as I reach the dining room, I hear Larisa’s friend Susan talking about Clara. When I hear her threaten my daughter, Talon is ready to lose his sh*t. We growl and the whole room goes quiet. Once we are in the kitchen, I take a deep breath to calm us both. “I am only going to give you girls a warning once. If I ever hear you disrespect Larisa or your future Luna again, you will not like the punishment I hand down.
