Irene."Stand up straight, Irene." My father's voice cut through the celebration noise. "You are embarrassing me."I straightened my spine, watching pack members laugh and dance around the flames. The Moon Ceremony was supposed to be a night of joy, celebrating the alliance between our pack and the visiting Northern wolves. For everyone else, it was. For me, it was another reminder that I would never quite belong."Look at Lyra," Father continued, his eyes on my stepsister as she twirled in her silver dress, commanding attention from every unmated male in the clearing. "See how she represents our family with grace?"I bit my tongue. Grace. That was the word he always used for Lyra. Never for me, his actual daughter. But then again, Lyra's mother had not been a hybrid rogue he had taken pity on. Lyra's bloodline was pure."Yes, Father."He grunted and walked away, drawn by the Beta's call.

Someone is supposed to meet me."I stepped out, and the bond mark on my neck immediately flared to life. I pressed my hand against it, hidden beneath my collar and a bandage.
