285 Foolish But Brave

I sank deeper into the cold plastic chair, wanting the earth to open up and swallow me whole.

To be scolded by Milo was not a nice experience, especially since that would mean I joined the ranks of Dahlia Elrod. It was as good as having the Moon Goddess be displeased with you. 

"I got it." I nodded, with the slightest bitterness in my tone. 

I couldn't help but think that if I had a wolf, I wouldn't be greeted with this lecture. Instead, I would be praised for taking the initiative to save the innocent; it was because I was nothing more than a human that Milo had to hover over me like an overprotective father. 

If I had a wolf, I would have made quick work of that wendigo and brought Atlas to the infirmary on my own.
