(Victoria's POV)

I adjusted my dark sunglasses and pulled my hood lower over my face as I

watched from my

hidden position near the playground. The disguise was simple but effective-no one at the

sympathy. "Poor Emma doesn't even have a real father. Just a half-breed with no place in the

pack."
