Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 47

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

"Why don't you release the girl, Rika?" Paula probed again. For the umpteenth time.

I groaned in annoyance, giving her my disapproving stare.

"I support her, Rika." Kat nodded from her position on her bed.

I shot Kat my meanest glare, she only sighed, clearly unperturbed by what my glare meant.

"What are you girls saying? I should just let her go?" I could not believe they wanted me to do that.

"You're doing this to teach the father a lesson, aren't you? Do it to the father directly and leave the girl out of it." Paula opined.

"It is true. Elder Grigshade committed the crime, his daughter should not have to do with anything. It's been complete twenty four hours already, release her." Kat urged further.

"Have you forgotten she wants to elope with your mate?" I asked, trying to use that point to get her by my side. How could my two best friends be against my decision?

They should even understand the most? They should be supporting my decision not go against me. Elder Grigshade would never learn to respect me and if I must get that respect, it was through the thing or rather, the person he loved the most and held dear - Tasyra.

This was not even supposed to be part of the discussion e should be having. I wanted to know how that guy's body just disappeared without trace, no evidence that someone was killed, according to Jace. Not even the knife he'd brought with him that had ended up becoming his own death weapon.
