Lilieth I can’t stop thinking about my interaction with Alpha Draven. The sun set a long time ago and my exhausted body forced me to retire to bed early, but I still can’t close my eyes and sleep, regardless of how much I need it. I feel oddly…excited. For some reason, Alpha Draven’s words filled me with hope, one that’s as dangerous as it is pure. I know that whatever is happening in his pack has nothing to do with me and has no chance of ever being my reality, but I’m amazed that there are places where Omega-borns are more than what the other ranks tell us we are. The feeling is indescribable. There’s hope. Genuine hope. But it also kills me that Cadeon and I once planned for something similar. Goddess, he had me fooled. After I saw him today with Petra, I have no doubts left
