The next day, I was running late getting ready for the party. Having returned to the pack house early in the morning, I ended up sleeping much longer than I had planned.

I was absolutely certain my brother would think his sister had become lazy.

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if he decided to take over my position in the pack company. That way, I could finally be free from the massive responsibility weighing on me. It was getting harder for me to manage.

I couldn’t shake off the things he had said or the way he acted toward me. His words and that kiss replayed in my mind over and over, leaving me clenching my fists each time.

After applying makeup and slipping into a pair of high heels, I left my room and made my way to my children’s room.

She pouted but said nothing.
