My heart raced in anxiety as everything began to unfold before me.
I took a step back and slowly retracted back to where mother was, my eyes still fixed on the man before me.
"Who is he mother?" I asked.
Hoping that I was wrong.
Hoping that this was some mistake.
"You don't know already?" Mother asked me with a cocked brow. "He is Aiden. The Alpha's son. His first son Aiden."
I felt a cold chill down my spine and a slight fever at the same time.
"The young man we were treating is his younger brother. He is next in line to the pack." Mother informed me.
I had gotten myself into a lot of trouble throughout the years.
But this was no simple trouble.
This was not just the a relative of the Alpha of perhaps the Alpha.
It was his first son.
The one who was going to take over the pack one day.
And when he did, he would become Alpha over our annexed territory.
Which meant he would become Alpha over me and I his subject.
Of all people it had to be me.
