It's going to change everything.

The knowledge sits like a boulder in my stomach, weighing me down.

Being Alpha King requires keeping lots of secrets for the good of the pack.

The Arbun family, to which I belong, is the alpha family of Pack Bloody Moon, a family line where every member is red-haired wolf.

There's a legend that many years ago, our ancestors met goddess under the red moon. The goddess bestowed upon the Arbuns' hair the color of the red moon, as well as unparalleled talents... But that's not the focus of today.

Including myself, there are currently six sons and one daughter in the Arbun family-except for Lilia, all my brothers are exceptionally talented.

I growl at all three. "Looks like I called this meeting not a moment too soon."

My brother Landon strides into the room in a flurry, "What's thi all about, Eamon? I was having a nice chat with DarkWood's muscum director, and I'd like to return as soon as possible. She said she was interested in seeing some of my paintings-" "You'll have time to network as soon as I'm finished, Landon." I roll my eyes at him.

"Trust me, you'll want to hear this." Richard tells them as he closes the door behind himself.

The four brothers all shoot Richard a curious look before facing back to me, their oldest brother. Their Alpha King.

"Richard and I performed genetic testing-"I begin.

Aidan lets out an exasperated sigh, "Don't tell me-testing on Lila, right?! Not this again, Eamon. Nanny already showed us those results; she's our sister, get over it."

"Those results were incomplete." Richard replies simply.
