“I have a knack for choosing the right person for the job.”
“What are you thinking about?” Alec asked. He was studying me as my attention pulled back to him.
“Are you really going to let me continue to tattoo after I become your Luna?”
“Kristen, being Luna isn’t a death sentence. It’s a job, a way of life. Think of it as a career. You can still do hobbies. Besides, you said you enjoy being busy.
