There was a long awkward pause. I almost smiled at how Elliot seemed to be dumbfounded by Michelle’s innocent question. She was still a child, so she missed the way her father’s sharp eyes darted between Elliot and I.
Michelle shrugged and added with a grin, “Well, when I become Lycan King, I’ll remember everybody.”
The tension cracked slightly as a few chuckles broke out around the room. Even I couldn’t help the small laugh that slipped out as I saw Michelle’s proud look. Isabella went to ruffle her sister’s hair. “Of course you will! In future, I’ll be running Ashborne with Elliot, you’ll have to help Dad run Frostfang.”
I felt a pang in my heart at the reminder that Isabella would be my Luna.
Elliot laughed too, but it sounded forced to me. “That’s why I need your sister with me - she will make me a better Alpha. Sorry Michelle, and Jasmine. I hope you’re not upset because of this.”
