Claimed by the Alpha's Love (Tori and Lucas) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215

Tori’s POV:

A month later.

Since the truth about my parentage had been revealed, much had changed

William and Susan had reconciled their decades-long estrangement, finding their way back to each other through the shared joy of discovering

Susan had even approached me about eventually taking over leadership of the Shepherd Pack, a gesture that had left me speechless. But I’d politely declined, suggested that Charlotte was far better suited for the role-her years of training and dedication to the pack couldn’t be dismissed.

Susan hadn’t insisted, respecting my choice to forge my own path.

Charlotte had visited several times during my recovery, though each encounter had been tinged with awkwardness until I finally addressed the elephant in the room.

I’d assured her directly that I had no intention of competing for her place in the pack hierarchy. The relief that washed over her face had been immediate and profound.

“I’m sorry,” she’d confessed, eyes downcast. “The pack leadership… is the only thing that gives me security.”

I’d understood her anxiety all too well. “I know what it’s like to need something to cling to when you don’t have blood ties to anchor you, I’d

told her. “The pack is yours, Charlotte. I have my own path to follow.”

After that, her visits had become genuinely supportive rather than obligatory, another unexpected gift from this new chapter of my life.

My hand drifted to my abdomen, tracing the tender incision site hidden beneath my hospital gown. The physical pain had dulled to a

manageable ache, but the emotional aftermath still rippled through me in unpredictable waves.

Today marked a milestone, though-Dr. Rodriguez had finally cleared me for discharge.

We’re going home, Tracy, my inner wolf, whispered with quiet satisfaction.

A gentle knock interrupted my thoughts. Martha, Lucas’s housekeeper, entered carrying a small bag.

“Good morning, Luna,” she said, her gray-brown eyes crinkling with warmth. “I’ve brought your clothes for discharge.”

The title still felt foreign-Luna, mate of the Alpha.
