was born.

Bethany Sterling the alpha of Petals in the Moonlight is everything I'm not. She grew up the daughter of the former Luna. Bethany's father, the alpha of the pack, accepted her as one of his own. Having two kids with his mate who died during childbirth when his second son Bethany's brother, Marcus was killed in a raid that Darren and Roman caused for the old man. That is why Bethany is now the alpha. She isn't mated and is three years older than I am. The resemblance is uncanny. It's like looking at a photograph of me before turning. I close the tab and sit back against the headboard of our bed.

The King is sound asleep face down-one arm around my waist If I try to leave the bed he pulls me back.

How do I cope with knowing I have a sister and extended family? Where do I even begin to process everything that happened with my mother? I love Amelia Nelson. Every last bit of her was beautiful. There's a deeply rooted resentment toward both of them for never telling me the truth and a newly found respect for the woman I call Mom.

She raised a pup that was never hers to raise. It's uncommon for a female wolf to be able to let go of the fact that her mate was a fuck boy and take their mistake to love as one of her own. Because that's what she did. I never felt like anything other than her baby. Despite her deterioration after my father's death, she loved me. The patience and nurture I received were that of a mother.

The moment I found out I had been pregnant, I knew I wanted to love the little thing growing inside of me as much as she loved me. If it's something that may happen to me in the future, I feel like I have a great example to take from. My only regret was that I didn't do more to show her how much I appreciated her for everything that she tried to do for me.

"I can smell your brain burning," the King's groggy voice lifts goosebumps all over. "I'm a little disappointed that after all that, you're still awake,"

"I haven't moved because I feel you everywhere,"

We both renewed our marks and moving too much was out of the question until the bites and scratches healed up. He takes his tablet from me and holds it up to make sure it's his. My death date is his password. He's just as predictable as the former Queen. Sentimental and soft. It's my favorite part of him.
