Ava: Mom's Legacy (II)

Rubbing Selene's head, my own spins when trying to understand the things she's saying.

Honestly, it's no wonder she's been so subdued.

There are things that clash within me, she says, resting her head on her paws.

"Like what?"

Her eyes roll in my direction. Like my past as Lycan Queen. I remember that I ruled, but I don't remember how. I fear I will not be able to guide you along as a Luna as well as I once thought I would.

"Does it matter? We can learn together." Trying to soothe her worries, I run both my hands down her spine, giving her a little dog massage. She seems to enjoy it, because she nuzzles a little deeper into the bed, stretching out her legs.

I want to help you, but it's fuzzy. I hate it.
