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.

with Clara.” “No way”, I hear from over my shoulder. I turn and Clara has her hand over her mouth. 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 cheek before she comes to stand next to me. Eli leaves and we head downstairs to the dining room. When we walk in, I notice Susan is sitting at a table with a few

brother. She has a mate and he is her other half, not Eli. Clara thankfully doesn’t notice her. I lead her over and we grab our trays. I notice she doesn’t take much. “You can take as 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.

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 kitchen. We stand on one side of the room while the other girls stand on the other. “Now I heard that you girls have a problem with the future Luna of this pack”, he says to them. Susan shoots daggers at me before she drops her gaze. “For your information, Susan, it wasn’t Larisa who linked me about your behavior.” “I did”, we hear from the doorway. Evan who is an omega in our pack, steps inside and bares his neck to my father. “Thank you Evan”, my father says, and he heads back into the

Pack. “I’m glad we have this opportunity to form an alliance. I know my pack is nowhere near as big as yours, but 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.”
