Teal had to deal with the consequences of being the child that no one wanted, she was a shameful mistake that was being granted a chance at life. The wolves made it a point of their duty to remind her why she needed to be grateful that she had crumbs to feed on and a house to sleep inside. How they treated her didn’t matter and shouldn’t bother her. She had to deal with the stigma of her mother being the pack’s go-to release point and the stigma of being a mistake that could have been avoided if her mother didn’t choose to be dramatic. Everything came crumbling down when she found out that she was mated to the Crown Prince of the pack.
