Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 454

Chapter 454

Allanah pulled back, but I heard footsteps walk away from the door. Good. "Is that safe?" She looked scared for me but I just

smiled.

Alannah sighed. "What if the king says no?" I wanted to smile because I knew she was asking for the cameras.

"Then I transfer to Toya's pack." I pulled back fully and wiped my face. "Or another pack. Anywhere but here." I blew out a breath. "I'm okay. Go see if Rick is free yet, and if he is, can you send him in? I'm going to put on my big girl pants and send off

my message and then call the king."

Alannah stood. "If you are sure you are okay..." She hesitated.

I nodded. "I am." I wiped my face again. "I can't mope around all day and cry about my shitty luck. I need to do something about

it."

She watched me for a second before nodding and then walking out of my office. I turned back to my laptop and pulled up Thoth's

message again.
