The cribbled omega warrior girl
The one I thought, probably stupidly, might be my mate.
Cedric Grayson, son of our beta.
He is exactly as I remember, even more so up close. The moonlight catches the white-gold of his hair, making it a halo against the darkness. His eyes, the clear, bright blue of a winter sky, find mine. There is no warmth in them. No recognition of the shy girl from the Stonefang territory who used to watch him train. There is only surprise, followed quickly by a flush of deep, mortifying embarrassment. He looks away, as if my presence is a personal affront, a stain on his reputation.
