Chapter 6 SAGE

In a few minutes, I will be standing in front of the Moon Goddess to finally receive my wolf. At last, I'll have someone who can be with me forever. I will not be one anymore. I wore the most decent white dress I could find in my closet. I also manage to make a simple flower crown that I can put on top of my head as I stand before the Moon Goddess. "A crown, really?

She scoffs, "Just because you're about to get your wolf tonight doesn't mean you're untouchable." I can't help but laugh at her ignorance. "What's so funny?" she asked, feeling irritated.
