---- Chapter 6 The next day at dusk, I sawa figure pacing back and forth outside my house. Flipping the curtains aside, I saw it was Leo. He was clearly filled with resentment. Walking toward me, he pulled out a Moon Goddess pendant from his pocket. "Elena, I acted recklessly yesterday. Please don't take it to heart." Noting my silence, he placed the pendant on my palm. "T exchanged my battle merits for this. Here, you can have it." Studying the pendant's worn surface, I scoffed under my breath. That same pendant was still on Sylvia's neck last year.

I broke free from his grasp and put some distance between us. "Do you think our pack has become what it is today without blood, sweat, and tears? My father led our pack members to war for decades in exchange for the peace we have today. Why should I hand it over to an ingrate like you for nothing?" Rage flickered in my eyes as I said icily, "Putting aside the fact that I feel nothing but hatred for you now, even if I do still have some feelings for you, what makes you think I'd hand over my spot in the Silvermoon Strike Force?
