” went wit Auntie?” Rose wails.
“Who’x Auntie Vickie asks as shees out of the house, eating a cookie. Her mate sighs as he walks out
behind her.
Auntie, you went wit out me!” Rose points at Vickie.
“I’m Auntie? Vickie asks in excitement. She bounds down the steps and scoops up Rose. “Ha! I’m Auntie!” sheughs as she ces a quick kiss on Rose’s cheek.
“You take me?” she orders.
“If your mama lets me,” Vickie says with a smile as she makes eye contact with me. I know she is asking me permission. I will think about it before I let Rose go off. I am grateful that she is asking me and not just saying that she will without my opinion. I’m villing to bet she got an earful about being more careful with me.
“Mommy, I go?” Rose pleads.
“We will talk about it okay?” I tell her trying to cate her for now.
“How about cookies?” Mark asks with a smile. He snatches Rose from Vickie’s arms and goes inside.
Cal kisses my cheek and then heads on inside. Jimmy follows Cal inside.
“I’m sorry about earlier,” Vickie says as she walks up to me and hugs me. “I didn’t know you were a white wolf. I
would not have pushed so much.”
I returned the hug. “It’s fine,” I tell her.
“No, you are my Luna. I am supposed to be protecting you. Instead, I keep putting you in danger,” she apologizes.
“It’s okay,” I tell her again. “I need someone to push me.”
Chapter 70 Amalie
“No, you need someone to help open boundaries not blow through them,” Vickie sighs. She leads me up to the porch swing. We sit back on the swing. “I’ve always been outgoing and pushing limits. I love working with pups on my off days. And during rogue attacks, I usually make my way to the elementary school to protect the youngest pups and keeping them distracted. The pups love how outgoing I am and how encouraging I am.
“Helping others move forwards and pushing their limits is not a bad thing,” I try to assure her. I know she has pushed me. But I think without her confidence, I would still be trying to get over what my parents did. I would be curled up in a room, refusing to leave. I know that technically I’m a basket case at best and a ticking time bomb at worst.
I have years of abuse and that doesn’t go away over a few days and a few people talking with me. Goddess above, how can I be a white wolf, with direct ties to the moon goddess, if I’m such a mess.
Shouldn’t her chosen wolf have lived a perfect life. I sound like I’m some sort of messiah. Goddess above, I hope I’m not supposed to lead a whole bunch of werewolves to a promisend. Isn’t that a human thing? Like they believe in a God, and he sent his son? I don’t remember a whole lot about it when I was in school learning different cultures. Humans are confusing.

“Mommy! Cookie!” Rose shouts as she runs out the door. She hands me a cookie, well half a cookie. In her haste, she lost half of the cookie.
I take a bite of the cookie. It tastes really good. It’s hot and gooey, a perfect chocte chip cookie.
“It good?” Rose asks excitedly.
“It’s very good,” Iugh as I finish the half a cookie.
“I’m d you like it,” Uncle Mikeughs as he wheels himself out the front door. Cal had opened the door for him. Mike hands me the te of cookies.
“More cookies,” Vickieughs as she snags one from the te.
Uncle Mike goes to swat her hand. He is still over a foot away from her when he catches himself. Rose is busy running around on the porch now, so she did not see the movement. Vickie looks sheepishly as she finishes her stolen cookie.
“You snagged a handful upon arriving back,” he scolds instead, “these are for Ama.”
“Another?” Rose asks as shees running back towards me.
“How many have you had?” I ask as I take one from the te.
“This many,” she holds up three fingers.
“How about one after dinner in a few hours?” Iugh.
“Mommy,” she starts to whine. I understand where she ising from. They are very good, and she has never had a lot of sweets. If my parents had me bake, they would eat everything. If Rose was given a cookie or candy from a pack member, my parents confiscated it and told them that Rose was not allowed sugar until she was five.

“Come on little one,” Markughs as he scoops up Rose and tickles her.
“Meet wolf daddy!” Rose exims as sheughs.
“You want to meet Aziz?” Mark asks for rification.
“Meet you wolf!” she deres.
“Alright,” Mark chuckles as he sets Rose on the ground. “Go stand with Cal.”
“I meet you wolf, too?” Rose asks as she tackles Cal’s legs.
“How about you meet Aziz first and thenter, you can meet Zviad,” Cal tells her as he picks her up. He keeps her attention as Mark steps around the house to shift out of her view. Thirty secondster, Aziz trots back around the
house.
