"Can't you just give me a break?" I shouted, frustration bubbling over, every word filled with years of pent-up emotion. "Can’t you just try showing even a little bit of compassion for once? Just once?" Luna’s eyes widened in shock. Her lips pressed together in a thin, disapproving line. "Greta, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but this is not acceptable. I will be informing Alpha of your behavior," she hissed, her voice cold and sharp. Then, without another word, she spun on her heel and stormed down the hall. I guess that’s a no. If I was going to be punished anyway, I wasn’t in any rush to meet it. I made my way to the bathroom, my legs feeling heavier with each step. I allowed the door shut behind me and stood in the shower, the hot water striking my back like little needles.
