***flashback***
Dad’s dead. My mom is distraught, but not over him. No. She’s upset she lost her rank as luna. The pack did not transfer to me.
“This is because you aren’t stronger,” she hisses at me as soon as I walk in. King Seth removed me from training. “We’ve lost our pack.”
“I wasn’t in the territory,” I try to defend.
Mom throws her hands into the air. “It still should have gone to you! You’re as weak as your father always said you were. And they’ve taken your future mate. There’s no chance to fix this.”
I sigh deeply. Lucky Laylah. At least she got to escape this place. “Why did they take her?”
“Her brother is the head of the king’s guard! They somehow smelled her scent,” she says, shaking her head.
Laylah’s brother is the head of the king’s guard?
