"Why? Because you're my Luna now? Because you suddenly care about me? We were never friends, in fact the exact opposite, and if this is sympathy because of my mom I don't want it. I don't need your pity!"
I can't respond to that because it's none of those things, yet all of them too. I have empathy; I see someone that may be more than I thought she was but, yes, it's also driven because of what we now share.... loss of our mothers in a horrific way. And the loss of her pack when they left her, the loss of her family. It s complex and deeper than any of those singular things and partly because, since I became Luna, this care, this need to look after and comfort my people is as natural as breathing. I feel guilt towards her, because of my part in taking her mate from her on top of everythin
