Phoebe's pov "I want you, Phoebe Wildheart," Hendrick said, holding my hands in the presence of them all.Julian was still laughing. My parents had to come to the middle of the arena to be sure they were seeing clearly.When Hendrick saw them, he asked me, "Are they your parents?"I couldn't even look him straight in the eyes."Yes, they're my parents," I replied.They came closer to where we stood. "And who are you?" my father asked him."I am Hendrick Stormwell, Alpha of the Apex Moon pack. I'm here to claim your daughter," he said.My father looked him over from head to toe. "I know of the Apex Moon pack, but I've never seen its Alpha. Well, ask her, and if she agrees, you can take her with you."I knew he was only trying to play it cool. He didn't want to seem desperate.

My heart thumped in my ears."P
