The hiss of steam rose as I pressed another crease flat, the hot metal nearly burning my fingers for the third time in a row. My wrists ached, the skin peeled from the constant heat, but slowing down wasn't an option here. The head of maids, Sirra, stood there a moment longer, waiting for me to answer, but I remained quiet. When I heard her huff and walk away, I allowed myself one breath before lowering the iron again.This was my life... a maid in Morvain Pack!Two years ago, I was still Luna's favorite daughter by name, and loved by everyone in the Pack house despite not having a mate after I turned eighteen that year. I believed I belonged to them even if we are not blood related, until the day they found her.Tazira, their real daughter, stolen as an infant, returned wit
