Chapter 43

“He is showing you respect. This is him acknowledging you as his Luna. When he does fight, it will be with honor. Give recognition to his commitment.” Eric spoke in my head.

“Do I do what he is doing?”

“No. Never bow down to them. You are the future Luna. You hold a higher rank than them.”
