The way Raine mentioned her title, with her tone so strong, just like how their Luna was supposed to be, was something utterly unexpected.
And this sudden fierce behavior of Raine made Calleb stop in his tracks and regret his words. Sometimes, because of their closeness, Calleb would forget his position and reprimand Raine just like how someone would admonish one's little sister.
This was a blunder on his part, because regardless of how Raine looked at him like an older brother, she was still his Luna.
Him talking harshly to her was a form of disrespect to his leader. In other packs, his action was difficult to be pardoned, he would have been demoted by now.
"I am sorry, Raine. I was just too panicked because you are not inside your room." Calleb sighed deeply. "Now tell me, how can you be in the fulbright city suddenly?" This didn't make any sense, or maybe, just maybe Calleb heard it wrongly?
