The doorbell rang relentlessly. I opened it to find two female werewolves standing there, both wearing a scowl look with clear disdain.

“Who are you?” I asked, confused.

The younger werewolf scoffed, walking past me and following the older woman inside without saying a word.

The older one gave me a cold, assessing look. “I though my son was going to marry someone extraordinary, but I guess this is what he meant,” she sneered.

The younger werewolf, with her chin held high in arrogance, added, “Maybe Caden just wanted to try out something different. Aunt Eleanor, look at her–there’s no way someone like her belongs with Caden.”

It hit me immediately–this was Caden’s mother, Eleanor, and Caden’s cousin, Queenie.

Though I felt a rush of defiance, I knew I had to remain composed. I forced a smile and said, “Oh, Mrs. Eleanor, Queenie, it’s so nice to finally meet you! I didn’t know you were coming… Please, make yourselves comfortable. I’ll go grab some fruit.”

Queenie scoffed, clearly unimpressed. “Stop pretending we’re family. Just because you managed to latch onto Caden doesn’t mean you’ll be the next lady of Eclipse Pack. With your pitiful appearance, dreaming of such a thing is laughable.”

Eleanor’s gaze was equally contemptuous. “Becoming the Luna of Eclipse Pack? That’s only for women from prominent families, not for someone like you. Don’t think I don’t know you used to sing in a bar. People from places like that can’t be clean. Now tell me what’s your real motive for getting close to Caden?”

A cold shiver ran through me at her words, but I quickly regained my composure.

If they thought these words would intimidate me, they were sorely mistaken.

“I don’t have any motive … ” I said softly, my head downcast. “Mrs. Eleanor, Caden and I truly want to be together. He promised to marry me. How can you say such things about me?”

Before I could finish, Queenie stepped forward and shoved me roughly. “Stop pretending to be the victim! Do you really think someone like you could ever be accepted by Eclipse Pack?!”
