Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Cara's POV

"So soon?"

I ask, though I suppose, in hindsight, it really isn't that soon. I've been working as the pack Beta for a time, doing a good job behind the scenes.

"You've made significant contributions to the pack collaboration," Eamon says. "It would be a disservice to you to not be properly honored at the joint celebration. The moniker of Aylon has served you well, but for this, for now, I think it's better to eliminate confusion."

"I don't need the praise," I remind him. "That's never been why I offered to help.”

"Just because you don't need the praise does not mean I won't see you have it nonetheless," Eamon says, a small smile on his lips. "You've done well, Cara, for us and for yourself. Both packs should know."

"But Alaric..." I say before I can catch myself.

Eamon gives me a curious kind of look. "Is there some reason we should continue to keep the secret?"

No. I won't hide away just because Alaric will be there and will discover that I'm, in fact, Aylon Auburn, the Bloody Moon beta.

I made a vow to keep Alaric from affecting my life the way it is now. By hiding away, cowering behind a false identity, I would be doing just that.

He doesn't get to dictate anything about my life anymore.

Especially not this.

"No," I say. "No, it will be fine."

Eamon seems pleased by my answer. "Good. It's decided then. We'll make sure
