  " I've had enough Lappnd I'm not stupid and I won't pretend anymore people don't just disappear like that much less people like you involved in the highest ranks of white fang! "

  " Even more so after you magically e back then Bke decides to run away from home when the white fang people start looking for something in a panic ! "

  " I khat naive girl would make trouble for you when she knew you couldn't say no to her ! "

  " And this girl dared to still hide it from us your retionship as if we were blind and all this despite what was going oween you two ! "

  The woman tinues as Lappnd simply listens and slowly starts to ge her clothes .

  " So you knew?"

  Asks an unsurprised Lappnd.

  " Yes People may not have noticed it but you will not hide it from Kali or me "

  The woman says.

  " Is that why you looked at Bk like that on her birthday ?"

  Asks Lappnd again pausing to put on her bra. With her bare upper body covered only by her long hair Lappnd turns towards her aunt .

  " Aunt Kali, Mr Ghiara and you auntie are the people ted me into their home and Bke is the person ted me as her friend ".

  " However, I will not spare anyone who tries to separate me from my Bke."

  Lappnd says in a low tone when her eyes meet her aunt's eyes and it makes a woman shudder but still there is the same unged determination in her blue eyes .

  " Little Lappy what you feel for Bk is not love this is far from it ".

  "You don't know how to love so you do things that for you are ected to that emotion which makes it a adoration that crosses over into opsession".

  "With Bke it's the same she doesn't love you she just feels responsible for you she.... "

  The woman is about to ti she is pushed to the ground and Lappnd sits oomach pg her ched hands ohroat . Trying to catch breath the woman tio look Lappnd in the eyes without fear but with passion even as the skin of her urns purple and her whole face bee red from ck of air. Instead of fighting, she pces her free hands on Lappnd's wrists gently holding them as if she forts her.

  Lappnd, oher hand, stares at the woman with bloodshot eyes and ched teeth, but even so, there is no desire to kill in her eyes because with her strength she could just crush the woman's neck. Rather, there is pure anger in her eyes . Seeing tears streaming from her aunt's eyes Lapps her go as up from the grouurning to her locker to finish dressing herself.

  " You are not going to tell me what love is when you yourself have never loved anyone

  Lappnd says in a ft tone and then corrects her hair before walking out of the locker room dressed. Seeing that Lappnd has left the woman with shaky legs gets up from the ground supp herself on a bench. Taking a few breaths while massaging her he woman reaches into the pocket of her trousers then pulls out an inchator then applies it to her mouth ing the medie.

  " She holds on to Bke even if it is like a razor for her hands she does it to not break, however it hurts her even more "

  " Lappnd you stupid girl if something happens to you how am I supposed to look your mother in the eye "

  " Tell me Luna what am I supposed to do with this broken and lonely child of yours ".

  Says Woman, slowly Getting up from the ground and shakily following Lappnd out of the locker room leaving inside only a bloody broken wolf skull and a bck crystal dripping with fresh blood .
