In the car, I text Mom to let her know I'm on my way. Although my heart is heavy, I couldn't be more grateful that, back then, Daddy declined the Alpha's offer to live in Alpha's Mansion–a magnificent building built for the pack's Alpha and Beta to live in with their families. Today of all days, I have no desire to come in contact with our nasty Luna and her detestable son.Our house might not be as grand as Alpha's Mansion, but it is a home built with love. The split-level French-style house, with its European elegance, boasts a sloped roof, a stone-and-stucco façade, an elegant front-yard landscape, and a backyard that exudes village warmth while maintaining its city sophistication. A huge free-form swimming pool completes it. I wouldn't trade it for a hundred Alpha's mansions.As the car turns into our driveway, I'm not surprised to see there's no one waiting to welcome me home, not even one of the house staff. I wonder why the gate is wide open and the place looks this quiet thoug

Right there in the kitchen, we cry on each other's shoulders until we have no tears left. Then we console and encourage each other with words of comfort.Mom leaves for patrol duty after finishing the dishes. She says she needs to occupy herself with work; otherwise, she'll go crazy. She is on her way there when she meets me outside.I return to the living room, where my luggage is still waiting unattended, and sigh. The maids would have taken everything upstairs and unpacked for me if they were still around. Now I'll have to take care of them myself.I take my holdall in one hand and hoist one large suitcase in the other, carrying them up the stairs. Thank Moon Goddess for super-wolf strength. How would I have managed otherwise?I drop the bags in front of my door and go back for another set. I still have four more large suitcases to carry upstairs."Ugh!"I groan when I remember I still have to unpack them."Fuck!"Boasting that I can survive without maids was stupid.Now I realize

"Victoria! Come back here! Victoria!"She continues shouting, but I don't look back. I run down the stairs, through the living room, and burst out the door.‘Good,’ I think to myself when I see her car is still parked outside. One less obstacle blocking my car's path.I go straight to the garage and input the door code. The door slides up smoothly. I step inside and immediately notice that my Daddy's car isn't there. Maybe it hasn't been brought home from his office yet. My car is where it usually is, parked beside the family sedan.The tears I've been trying so hard to hold back spill freely when I see that the cover has been removed, I guess in readiness for my return. My daddy just never forgets. I wipe my tears with my fingers as I walk over to the key holder on the wall and retrieve mine.The sweet, fresh fragrance that greets me when I open the driver's door further confirms that the car has been recently vacuumed."Oh, Daddy..." I whisper. I lay my head against the steering whe
