Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 39

*****Erika's POV*****

"Hi." She beamed, walking over. She had a bottle of drink in her hands and two glasses. As soon as she reached where I was, she made herself comfortable on the sand next to me. She gently dropped the bottle and two glasses on the ground.

"Tasyra." I quickly wiped my eyes so she would not ask too many questions. Questions I would not answer, but I did not want to be rude ignoring her questions.

"Your Highness." She greeted again.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked her.

"I saw you coming out of the forest, I was curious. So I followed you guys." I fixed

a sharp gaze on her. "But not for long, though." She raised her hand as a form of surrender.

"Why would you follow us in the first place?" I pressed my lips into a thin, hard line.

"I'm sorry but I saw that Jace was looking troubled so I decided to see if I could help out but I did not want to infringe." She explained.

"I'm sorry Tasyra but now is a bad time, another time maybe." I kept my gaze to the stream.

I was tempted to ask her if she and Jace wanted to elope but thought against it. At this moment, it was not my concern. He was not going to leave this pack, that was my promise to Kat and dad. I would make sure he did not leave, but my heart constricted in pain even as I thought of it. Jace was an adult and not just that, he was my brother. I could not just tied him down against his will. If he had decided to leave the pack, would I be able to stop him? And even if I exercised my power, how would that keep my relationship with him? Also, what if he decided he was going to sneak out of the pack without my notice? What would I do then? I had no
