"You are going to mate with Ramona?" Emira asked slowly. "On the night of the Golden Moon?"
Even as she spoke them, the words felt strange to her. As if she were not saying this in reality but in a dream... Or rather a nightmare. And yet, if this was indeed a nightmare and even as the question left her lips, she was certain this could not be true. She had to be mistaken. There had to be some misunderstanding she was not seeing yet.
Why else would they be asking her to leave, no ordering her to leave...
Emira took a deep breath and sent a searching look towards them. They had been angry when she said she wanted to go the Ruins. That much she knew.
They had warned her clearly that if she left, they would not wait for her. But anger was not rejection. A warning was not the same as turning away. And she had returned before the Golden moon... So, why were they ignoring her and pretending to be strangers to her? As if she were just another member of the pack?
