It was raining the day I left Crescent Pack. I had one bag. A few changes of clothes and the moonstone necklace my mother pressed into my hands. "This belonged to your grandmother." She fastened it around my neck. "It will protect you." I held her tight. "I'll miss you." "I'll miss you too." Her voice caught. "But Elena , I believe in you. You're going to become something incredible, and then ..." She didn't finish. She didn't have to. And then you'll make them regret it. I set out for Silvermoon Pack. It was the farthest pack from Crescent, and it was famous for producing the finest healers and pack doctors in the region. I was going to become a doctor. Because I was going to prove, in my own way, that Omegas aren't worthless. Life at Silvermoon Pack was harder than anything
