Chapter 14

• Eclipse had a high counsel, and as I stood in front of them with Elroy they were all trying to yell over each other. I probably should have felt more dread, but after almost an hour of this stupid back and forth I was mostly just annoyed.
• Granted, my lack of anxiety was mostly because Elroy clearly didn’t believe Louisa’s tale. I felt a twinge of guilt at the show of trust, but it was better this way. If he ever found out—no, I didn’t want to think about it.
• Still, my mind was racing. Elroy had the final say, sure, but I would never be respected as this pack’s Luna if I didn’t put this to rest, and I hated making him fight his own council for me.
