Book 2 Chapter 32

Daphne’s Point of View

After Caleb got back to his meeting, I confirmed the dinner preparations with the catering company. They have absolutely gone above and beyond in their work, and I will ensure that they are tipped graciously for all that they have done. I then retreated to my bedroom for a few moments of alone time. I was emotionally exhausted from my talk with Melissa, but I like the fact that I know more about my birth now.

I paced for a few minuets trying to sort my feelings out in my head and I decided to try and call Dr. Hollis. Unfortunately, I was told that she was with another patient. I know that I could use my status as Luna to interrupt the session, but I did not feel like this was the right thing to do. Besides although I wanted to confide my feelings in someone else, this was not an emergency situation.

I was just sitting down with a magazine when there was a knock at my door. I assumed it was one of the Lunas or even possibly Hannah, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door and found Anita, and Carolyn standing at the threshold.

“Luna please pardon the intrusion, but we have something serious that we need to discuss with you if you have a moment.” Anita quickly spoke. Both girls standing before me are peculiar wolves. Although Anita’s gift has been confirmed, Theo and I have been unable to confirm is Carolyn has a true gift or is just an imaginative child.

“I absolutely have time. Please come in girls. Carolyn, I love your French braids.” One of the reasons we have been unable to confirm if Carolyn has a true gift is the child is only seven years of age. We have had some wolves display gifts as early as five, but most of them do not display gifts until they reach puberty and undergo their first shift. Anita nudged Carolyn along into my bedroom. Both girls opted to sit on the couch, so I chose to sit in the rocking chair by the window.

“Now what brings you lovely ladies to see you?” I am curious.
