When he was a young pup, he thought that if he withstood her abuse, he would prove to her that he was strong and worthy. Instead, her not being able to break him only made her try harder.
Not all mothers who had given birth to children could be called mothers.
He’d always thought that when he became Alpha, it would change. But it never did, and he’d learned there wasn’t anything he could do to stop it other than to avoid her and make sure he didn’t allow anyone else he cared about to get caught in the crosshairs.
People from the Knight pack treated him extremely well, but people from the Leiner pack—which had joined with the Knight pack when his mother mated his father—wanted to torture him to death. They wanted a Leiner to take on the role of Alpha.
But the result was the opposite of what they wanted.
And the more he fought, the longer he lived, the harder they tried to bring him down to gain control of the pack.
And his mother couldn’t just have him killed because the elders would look into the death of an Alpha. There was no telling what would happen to Madam Knight’s position and the position of the pack and all their wealth and power then.
He smiled bitterly. He had once hoped for maternal love.
