    Don''t Poke the Luna


    "Well, I''mostly n events, and yes, I do get involved in some of the work, but I have people I can delegate tasks to. Actually, Penelope, my brother''s mate, used to be my personal assistant. Now need to find a new one."


    "What kind of people do you typically hire?" Luna Kestrel seemed genuinely interested in my work.


    "Well, I hire people who are schrs like me, those who don''t have a creative outlet. Possibly also those who get into trouble because they''re not being pushed or given opportunities to use their talents."


    "You have such a kind heart." She finished her sd and set the bowl down. "What changes would you like to see here?"


    Thest bite of dessert was just centimeters from my mouth when she asked this question. My body froze as her question prated my ears.


    "Changes?" I asked, then finally brought thatst bite to my mouth.


    "Yes! Is there anything about our pack that you''d like to change?"


    "Oh... um... honestly I haven''t thought about it. There''s still so much I haven''t seen. I know when I helped Ama, she had some things she wanted to do."


    I answered carefully, not wanting toe across as too presumptuous or forward. "She showed them to me, and we''ve actually started implementing her ideas!"


    "Oh, wow! That''s great!"


    "We''re very open to new ideas. After all, growth is essential to ensuring the pack''s sess. If you have ideas that you think would help the pack grow, please let me know. I''ll be here to really help you when you start taking on the Luna role. From what I''ve seen, though, you''re already handling it beautifully. You have a gift for nurturing those who need help. And you''re not at all afraid to stand up to Alpha Benedict!"


    "Oh, was Alpha Benedict upset?" I asked softly.


    "Oh no dear, he actually is impressed with your spunk and your ability to jump in if you think something is wrong." Ryder leaned back and just listened to the conversation.


    "That''s good to hear." Shifting a little, I tried to hide my difort. Hopefully when things settle down, I will be able to learn this territory."


    "Ryder has expressed a concern that I wish to bring up." Luna Kestrel nced at Ryder.


    Immediately, I felt Ryder''s annoyance. My heart sank from all the possibilities this could be.


    "Okay. What concern would that be?" I asked quietly.


    "Your desire to travel." She took a sip from her teacup as she said this. It had sat there unused for thest hour and now she decides to drink it. For some reason, it felt more like an attack than a simple cup of tea.


    My mouth opened a few times but nothing came out. Looking over at Ryder, he was ring at his mother.


    "Yes, I would like to travel a little in the future." No point in lying.


    "Is there anywhere in particr you wish to go?"


    "Oh, um... n-no. Maybe to a beach but no. It was more of a desire to get away from Martha but since my shop has been destroyed, that money is being used for that. I''ll have to save up in order to do any traveling, if I do any at all. Though, we still have those tickets to Italy." I was so confused. I had never hidden the fact I wanted to travel, but this seemed rather direct.


    "Do you still n on continuing your business once you officially take over the Luna role?"


    I am the smartest person I know, and this was confusing the hell out of me. She was fishing, that much was clear, but her end goal, I wasn''t sure.


    Luna Kestrel wasn''t giving me a negative vibe, but I wasn''t getting a warm and fuzzy one either. "I''m sorry, Luna Kestrel. I''m confused with where you are going with this. I do not wish to be disrespectful, but could you please tell me where you are going with this? What do you really want to say to me?"
