I pulled up to my “father’s” house and let out a heavy sigh. I didn’t want to be

anywhere near this man but I had to get answers. I hopped off the bike. Carter

made me promise to wear a helmet and he ordered me a proper fitting jacket. It had

arrived yesterday, a dragonfly was embroidered into the leather, small dandelions

sewn into the cuffs of the sleeves. Me riding a bike alone made Carter nervous,

just for me but the baby. However, I felt solid on a bike, I’m sure in a few months

my comfort level would change and I’d take the truck everywhere, but I’d miss the

freedom of it. I mourned it already. I stuffed my gloves into the pockets of my

leather jacket, the thing swallowed me but I wore it like a shield today, and I was

thankful for it. I reminded myself why I was doing this, Uncle Jake’s last request. I

knocked on the door and stood for a while before Clyde opened the door with a

smirk.

“Has my daughter finally come to her senses?” he asked.

I shrugged, “That depends,” I said. “Do you want to maximize my potential or do

you want to try to keep me small enough so you think you can control me? Because

I must say, after Creedon, I’m through being controlled by men. Being female

doesn’t make me weak. I think I’ve proven that.”

“I’m not a prize, I’m mated. Anyone else can go fuck themselves” I snapped.

“Yes that’s apparent, however you need to understand by marking him you just put

your mate at risk, Alphas will find out and they will want to own you.

“Then we don’t let them find out,” I said simply.

“If I saw the videos then that means they are already in circulation, there is no

hiding what you are Briar, Carter makes you weak.”

“Then I will fight off anyone who attempts to claim me, I’ve challenged one alpha

and won. It was too easy to be honest,” I said unbothered.

“Not every alpha is as soft as Creedon, daughter, and not every alpha will want to

claim you as a mate, some will just want your hide. The return of the silver wolves

has been prophesied for a long time. Some alpha’s don’t want to submit to what

that means,”

“And what is that?”

“The end of their reign and the rise of Lunas.”

I had been sipping Clyde’s coolaide on a daily basis and it was eating at me. This

man let my mother, a woman he apparently loved die because he thought she was

weak. But he had left me alone in his office long enough yesterday for me to
