I stand by the door of the bathroom. I’m nervous to leave Nadia on her own. Not that she can’t handle herself, I know she feels out of her element. She won’t always feel that way, but right now everything is fresh and new. I hear Caroline’s voice in the ladies room. My wolf wants to barge in and protect Nadia, but I reign him and control myself. I’m glad I held back because listening to my Luna stand her ground and put Caroline in her place make me proud. I knew she could stand up for herself. I always wondered why she never did it to the other slaves and servants. I think she was trying to keep her head down and do her job, but now everything has changed for her. She’s no long a slave who has to keep her head down. She is a Luna who can keep her head held high. I also think learning her family history, the truth as to why her family became rogues has empowered her. I think now she is more determined to fix things and we can do that together. Caroline comes out of the bathroom in i

I’m having breakfast with Nadia and her mom. Nadia is beaming, and I’m happy that she has found her mom. I hope to help them find her father, but if he had let anyone know about his lycan heritage, he would have been killed. The chances that he survived are slim. Male rogue slaves tend to be killed within the first few years of servitude for one reason or another. They are assigned hard and tedious work. They are often used as training dummies for the warriors of the pack and sustain severe injuries. The females are different. They are assigned to work in the kitchens as maids and personal maids to a high-ranking female. They are used as sex slaves and sometimes as breeders if the high-ranking male’s mate fails to produce an heir. Either way, rogue slaves are mistreated, but hopefully, I will be able to abolish slavery and make peace with the rogues. Hopefully, with new leadership, many of the rogues will want to join packs or even form new packs for themselves that agree to be under

The council meeting went by in a long blur. It ended with the council divided. Half of them didn’t care that I was a rogue slave, they were hyper focused on my lycan hertage because Maddox and I will give birth to children with the most lycan blood seen in decades. The other half cared very much about me being a rogue slave and believe I can’t be trusted. The meeting ended inclusive and there will be several more meetings before the council will officially back me as Maddox’s mate. I worry that they will try to stop Maddox from becoming Alpha King because they don’t approve of his mate. I don’t want Maddox to loose such a life changing opportunity. I know he would give it up for me, but I don’t want him to. He’s worked his whole life for this and he can bring real change. By the time we got out of the meeting it was just about dinner time. We eat a quick meal with my mom and Elliot. Elliot has some mate issues going on, so after dinner Maddox takes him to have drinks. My mom and I
