    “I’ll try. Honestly, I am so caught up with some other things that I’m not sure I have it in me to get


    emotionally invested in something.”


    Cassie nodded her head as she took a bite of strawberry. “What do you have going on?”


    “I want my legacy of Luna to be about helping the kids that just need someone to believe in them. I am


    academically very intelligent but as a kid, I got into trouble. It wasn’t until Kris noticed me and gave me


    chance did I prove myself. I just needed her to believe in me. So, I build different programs to help kids.


    Regardless of age or problem, I want everyone to have a safe ce to grow. Plus, we are building all


    these houses and navigating adding all these members to our pack. Then I have my luna ceremony I


    haven’t really touched and the Halloween party. When Colt and I mated, things were just getting started


    with Kris and Darin so I’m still trying to learn how to be a luna.” I didn’t want to tell her anything about


    Vin. Like Jacob said, there hasn’t actually been a threat on my life.


    “I love that. You know, when I was growing up, my dad had started something simr. Midnight Moon


    was once a happy ce. Kids ran around, had pack BBQs and even held fightingpetitions to


    encourage friendships. Dad had noticed smaller kids getting bullied and wanted a ce for them to be


    able to train without being around the more athletic kids. He used to say that some people just need the


    extra help. Even if they weren’t warriors, average people could still stay healthy.”


    “Oh, really?” I asked, intrigued.


    “He was very proud of it. Dad was a very proud man. Colt reminds me


    of him.” Cassie was looking up at the sky. “Probably more loving behind closed doors but very


    protective.”

    “Colt is very protective.” I agreed simply before putting some yogurt. into my mouth.


    “Have you guys had any fights?” Cassie asked before looking at me.


    “Just petty stuff really.”


    “Well, whatever it is, just remember that he probably has your best interest in heart. Dad would always


    do things I hated but looking back, he did them out of love.”


    “Like what?” I asked, more curious to learn more about him.

    “Oh, little things like needing a body guard or eating all my green beans. When I got older, it was things


    like not going to parties. night events. ‘Nothing good ever happens after midnight.’ That is what dad


    would tell me. I used to get so mad at him and sneak out the window!” Cassieughed. I couldn’t help


    but smile at her.


    “Did you get caught?”


    “Every single time. It didn’t stop me though. However, it did get me a bad reputation. People assumed I


    was doing illegal thigs or whatever. They said I was making the alpha look bad. If he can’t contain his


    daughter, how can he control a pack?”


    “Did you get punished?” I pushed.


    “Not in the physical sense. He would yell and say he is disappointed in me or he would make me do


    some manualbor. However, I was popr and my friends woulde help me. Dad never did figure


    out how I managed to finish so quickly.”


    “Was he strict?”


    “Very much so. He would let loose every now and then but it was rare to get a smile out of him. People


    would tell me that he was friendlier before he was alpha. Still, he read books to me and would watch.


    move up.


    “He sounds like he loved you.” I concluded.


    “He did. Still, he would often forget I had feelings and couldn’t just turn them off like he could.”


    “What do you mean?” I asked.


    Cassie got a sad look on her face. “Dad wanted me to learn to fight and do some drills with the


    warriors. He would get mad if I cried or showed any weakness. He felt like I should have been able to


    take it


    in stride.”
