In the living room of a large house in the Night pack, a mother stands over her daughter, who is enjoying a bowl of cereal before she can go to bed, for she never goes to bed without eating cereal.
"Cassandra, you promised to introduce us to the young Alpha you are dating, but time keeps ticking by with no sign of him. You even talk of him less and less these days. What is happening? You know how your father and I are determined to make sure both our children become powerful wolves. Your brother is going to replace your father as Alpha as soon as he gets back from school. How about you? You just want to eat and grow old under our roof, doing nothing?"
Cassandra is too used to her mother's language to care about what she is saying right now.
She swallows a mouthful of the refreshing food
