"Get out of my room. I will talk to you some more tomorrow. I need some space for now." I tell Elle angrily.WIthout another word, she backs out of my room with her hands up. She must be able to tell just how upset I am with her right now. That is not just some small secret to keep. That is something major. "Are you alright?" Dante asks me."I feel like you have been saying that a lot today." I joke halfheartedly."Yes, well, you have had one heck of a day. For a minute there I was not sure that you were even going to respond." He says sounding extremely concerned.He grabs one of my hands again and begins to rub the back of it with his thumb. I slowly start to relax as I focus on the feeling of his finger drawing circles on my had. No matter how bad or crazy my day is, he somehow always finds a way to calm me down. Even if it is just by rubbing the back of my hand."For a moment I did not think I could respond. My mind went blank. It was impossible for me to think or even focus on w

I ended up crying myself to sleep for the first time as an adult. I alternated between being excited about the possibility of seeing my father and unable to wait to go get him, to being terrified that no matter what he will not remember me, to crying again because my entire day was just too much. I have prided myself on keeping my cool up since being mated to Dante but today was just too much. Finally, I have reached my breaking point.Now, I am trying to figure out how to go down to breakfast and face the Council again. I am not quite sure that I am ready to see Simonetta's face again. It will be interesting to hear if anything else happened after I brought Hazel up here. I just happen to know that with everything that happened last night, I am a little surprised that the house is even still standing."You are not really going to let them get to you are you? You are better than all of them. It is not like you really need their approval." Dante says to me when he looks at my face.My

Even though the Council members were quiet during breakfast, there is no way that it could last all day. I am honestly a little shocked when we finish breakfast and nobody has said a word. What could be keeping them so quiet? I know that they have plenty to say.I do not have to wait long to hear them start bringing up last night though. As I walk out of the dining area, Safiya rushes up to me. "Laina, the Council wishes to speak to you." She tells me simply before walking towards their quarters once again.Does that mean that she considers herself a part of the Council still? It seemed like she was drifiting away from it but maybe they do not have any other options to fill her spot? I believe that she said that only family members can take a role on the Council but there has to be some type of fail safe in case something like this happens. Might as well get this over with I guess. I already proved to them and myself that there is not much they can do to harm me. Thanks to the Moon

Safiya is looking more and more please as I continue on with my tirade. I knew that she did not agree with what she was saying. I am going to have to find out how they made her say those things. She was definitely on my side last night. "This is not how things are going to go anymore. You might run this Coven but we are above all of the Covens. You are going to take this punishment as nobody is above punishment from us. Not even Safiya here." Simonetta says with a smirk.She must be getting some of her snarkiness back finally. Good, I was starting to think that this was going to be a boring meeting. It is no fun when they do not fight back. It was almost too easy."I will agree to your punishments when you can prove that it is something that the Moon Goddess wishes. She is the only authority that I see. The rest of you are just some witches that were born into a role that has lost its way. This Council was not created to lord over all of the witch Covens. It was made to keep them all

I avoid Elle for most of the day after dealing with the Council. I can feel her eyes on me while I work with some of the novices on plans for next weekend's dance. After all of the drama with the Council and Hazel we decided to give it another week. Hopefully, this will help to draw the witches back together after last night's incident.As I gather some of the novices together to begin working on their dance, I notice that they all seem particularly quiet. This group that consists of Jade, Hazel, Blair and Sage are never quiet. They normally joke around non stop and in general act like teenagers. Today, they are all rather quiet but I constantly catch them staring at me. After a while, I finally snap."What is going on with you four today? Normally I cannot get you to shut up but today you will not even talk. What is going on?" I say exasperatedly."I think that they are all rather shocked after last night. You were a little scary." Hazel admits.Each of the other girls nods enthusias

Safiya finally comes walking out of their quarters and stops when she sees me. Is she worried that she will get into more trouble by hanging out with me and the Novices or something? Before she continues this way, Viola walks back out and joins Safiya on her walk over.When they reach my, I raise an eyebrow at Safiya and the fact that she has a babysitter. I knew that they were upset with her and did not trust her after last night but leaving her with a babysitter is just degrading. What do they think that they are accomplishing with all of this?She just gives me an annoyed look as she pulls out her notes for the dance that we are trying to learn. Even though we had not really talked much about which one we are going to do we seem to be on the same page. She looks at my choices of which Novices are going to be moving up and gives a nod of approval. I guess that is as much as I can get from her now.Elle is watching from the doorway into the kitchen as we set the girls up in pairs an

Since we have decided to have some of the Full Witches do the dance with the Novices, it only makes sense that Elle and Rosa joins us for practice this one time. For now, they are under the impression that they are the only ones joining the dance. It will stay that way until the last second. What a surprise it will be for the entire Coven to see me out there dancing with the others. We gather in the foyer again to begin practice. The Novices are much more excited to be learning how to incorporate the dance moves together now. It was not too difficult for them to do the magic part without the dancing as they could give it their full attention but I have no idea how well they are going to do now.As the take their first steps, it takes a little longer than it should for the flowers to begin growing in the correct pattern. Once they finally do, they switch directions and begin to let their water magic flow out of them. Almost immediately, the water begins to saturate the flowers under t

All week long the girls work on their dance every day for a couple of hours before dinner. By Friday they have it almost all of the way down. We are just going to have to hope for the best on Sunday when we do it in front of everyone. There have been no more major explosions since the second day of our practices so I will take that as a hopeful sign.Tonight, I am going to try to go to the pack dinner once again. Hopefully this time the Council does not try anything while I am gone. Even though I feel leary about going I cannot stop being Luna just because I am worried about what the Council might or might not do. Presumably, Safiya is not going to be joining me this time after what happened last week. She has been on a tight leash with the Council ever since she stood up to them a week ago. I am still looking forward to this time with the pack. Even if I am extremely nervous about what all could go wrong while I am there."You are running late." Dante tells me in my head."I know. I
