I was meeting his ‘parents’, the Alpha King and Queen.

The first person | noticed was ‘Thane; he leaned against the wall looking very imposing. They seemed to have been in the middle of a conversation, which

outdoing even his own father and the only thing keeping Alpha Slade at the top was the crown on his head-a

Slade wasn’t a weak man, but his tto rule should have ended a long tag

The two powerful people could not remain in a pack, not when Alpha Slade wouldn't give his Alpha title to his son
even when he was of age, and so they had to split, dividing the pack into two. So far, the Nightshade pack had

Werewolf Queen, Freya Blackwood. But there was something very wrong, and | could tell that just by staring at
her.
She stood head down as if in submission, a veil shielded her face, she was in a lemon green, long-sleeved dress
and matching gloves to cover her hands leaving no skin exposed, her hands were clamped together in front of

“Fate, maybe?. What are you?, an Omega?”

“I am Alpha Thane’s mate and the future Luna. This | am sure of,” | said, staring at the Alpha in his eyes. He gave a small nod.
“Excuse me, | want to speak to my son,” he said, and | nodded, walking out of the room to give them sprivacy, but then | noticed Luna Freya
