Chapter 50 Aria

• I listened to what Rocco had told me with interest. Was that how they saw the moon goddess? I only had a basic knowledge of her. I had studied a little on her when my Grandma had talked of the werewolves. The brief chatter had intrigued me enough to bring me to research them. But I had never delved deeply enough to know their beliefs as fully as this man likely did. He was one of them. His knowledge would be extensive. They not only believed in this woman, but they worshiped her...
• “I don’t know. I did not know that the moon goddess worked in such a way.” I said quietly. I desperately did not want to offend him because of my lack of knowledge. I knew to him their beliefs were sacred. “I am sorry.” I added softly.
• “Why are you apologizing?” he said gently, his eyes light, with what looked like almost amusement, but certainly no evidence of offense lingered there. “You are not one of us, Aria, you would not be expected to know all of this… at least not right now…" His voice faltered a little, causing me to look at him with somewhat uncertainty.
