“Great!” Mom clasped her hands. “We will start preparing for it. The Luna trials will begin next week.”

“So soon?” I asked, my eyes widening.

Father chuckled as he wrapped her shoulders with his arm. “She was already prepared when she came to meet you. All we have to do now is roll it out. The trials are prepared to the 1.” He kissed her temple, pride swelling in his chest.

I watched them leave and jealousy twinged my heart. This was the kind of love I wanted. They were so devoted to each other. Goddess, where was my mate? I would wait for her for eternity…

The very next day, my twin sister, Tamara arrived. Of course, how could she be left out of this?

She had decided not to attend the college because of her Luna duties in Everflame pack. After her marriage with Matt, she was one of the happiest women I’d seen in my life. Ugh. Sometimes, their love gave me a toothache. Matt had been extremely devoted to her. He had given his unconditional alliance to father. I liked him a lot. Tammy didn’t want pups for three years until she turned twenty–one, and he respected her feelings.

I also dropped out of college and helped father in his Alpha duties. I took my job seriously, and no one messed with me unless they had a death wish. My father knew that I was stronger than him, because I was the child of fated mates and a direct descendent of the moon goddess. Many she–wolves from my pack and the neighboring ones tried to jump in my bed, but my wolf sent them away, growling.

And just like that, the next week Tammy and mom spent preparing for the Luna trials. Since I was least interested in it, I was plotting ways on how to avoid it. But my sister kept a tab on me. She was also the most frustrating woman in my life. Even my brother acted like traitors with the way they helped Tammy. I think they loved Tammy more than they loved me.

There are a thousand things that could have happened to her.” She placed a hand on my forearm. “Give yourself a chance to live. Mom and dad are sad when they see you like this. They are doing it for you. Please…” Her eyes filled with tears,
