We had made it out alive and shockingly I wasn’t killed on sight. I did earn a black eye for a day or two but I would take that if it meant my head stayed attached to my shoulders.

their Luna.

I was a selfish man and I did use your protection to hide my wrongdoing,” I looked at the ground I had done so much to protect my little sister that much was true but what good was my protection if it led her to become a person who didn’t know the right in the world.
