Chapter 74

• Lily's POV
• Young Luna Lisa's eyes sharpened. She shook off Rebecca's hand, her voice cold and clear, "Rebecca, you should know better than anyone! Lily's mother, Iris, is my best friend at the academy! She's more important than my family! She came to me personally and asked me to take care of Lily. Do you really think I don't understand her worries? I want to take care of the child more than anyone else!"
• "But Lisa! She's a child from our pack!" Rebecca's voice shot up, sharp and insistent. "She belongs to her own pack, where her father grew up! That's where she has her roots! If you take her to the Green Pack, away from everything she's familiar with, what will happen to her? No roots in the pack - what will people say? A hero orphan raised by a strong alpha but growing up in a strange pack? You think that sounds good? Shadow of the villain"? That will ruin her whole life! Please, Lisa, keep her here! I swear to you, the whole pack will treat her like the most honorable hero orphan! She will not lack love and belonging! We'll do everything we can to give her the best! I swear it!"
