L Y R A Fenrir and I weren’t close as kids. Just like any kid whose father remarried after the death of their mother, he resented me. He resented my mother for marrying my father, who he thought was trying to replace his mother, and he resented me for being his stepsister. My mother had told me he avoided her throughout when she was pregnant with me. He never wanted to accept me as his sister. But after the death of my mother, and the death of our father, he stepped up. He was only a teen, but he took over as Alpha and protected me. Raised me. He put aside our differences and made sure I was safe. He made sure I had a roof over my head and food in my belly. He made sure I had a family, even if it was just him. Now that Leilani was here, I could see a new side of him. A softer side.
