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.

And the reason? Kane Thorne.

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.

Despite the turmoil swirling inside me, I put on the dress my brother had sent for me to wear to the party.

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

When I arrived, I saw them engrossed in their studies. Standing in the doorway, I smiled at them.

They were my reason for living. Just looking at them gave me the strength to face everything. I could spend the rest of my life alone and not need a man to protect me. They didn’t need a father figure either, as long as I was there for them.

Leo turned his head, spotted me, and immediately ran toward me with a smile.

I took his hand and walked over to Luna, who sat with her head lowered, clearly upset.

She was still sulking from the scolding I’d given her earlier. I sat down beside her on the bed and wrapped my arms around her.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?”

She pouted but said nothing.
