The Archmage's Daughter

"Just let me hold you for a while, please," he said after setting me back down. This time, he laid me in the middle of the bed before sliding in next to me. "What if this was really me? Not a dream version of Lucy but the real thing?" I asked. He reached his hand across to me, pulling my hair behind my ear before pulling me closer to his body. "Well, in real life, you probably would have slapped me for doing this," he said, making us both laugh. Little did he know. After I witnessed my mom's murder, I fled my pack to search for a freedom I knew may never exist. I dreaded the day I would turn 18 as I never wanted a mate bond after the horror I had lived through.

Alpha Elijah Yellowstone, True Alpha of the Yellowstone Pack, had already come to accept that he would not meet his mate - not in this lifetime, or the next. And it was something that he understood. After all, he had more than his fair share of she-wolves to choose from. There was nothing that he was missing out on. The fact that he did not already have a few pups running around, was a miracle in itself. His pack was not the best - but it was not the worst, either. He had treaties with almost every pack that surrounded him, leaving the only threat to be Rogues. His worries were few and far in between. But of course, all of that changed when he welcomed his new Beta into his pack. He had known, since the beginning, that the Beta had two children. A daughter, in her final year of training, and a son, who was barely old enough to ride a bicycle. Can you imagine the shock that he gets when he realizes that his Beta's daughter is his mate? She is nothing more than a glorified child, and Elijah knows that. And despite the fact that he knew that it was improper for a mating like this to happen, Alpha Elijah finds himself incapable of rejecting his mate - but even so, he refuses to accept her. She is too young, too weak, and he would be signing her up for more trouble than he was worth. Or so he thought...

Because I had a face that screamed 'pick-me girl', I became the target of my mother's deepest hatred. She claimed that just seeing me made her sick, bringing back memories of my father's affair. In retaliation, she channeled all her affection into helping a child from a poor village, praising her for being kind and genuine while insisting she loved her hundreds of times more than she ever loved me. But then that same girl went behind my back and seduced my boyfriend, and my mother reacted by hitting me across the face repeatedly. "How did I end up with such a shameless daughter? You're the third wheel, and you're accusing her of being the other woman!" Yet when I fell gravely ill with cancer, she was beside herself with grief, begging for forgiveness while praying earnestly. "How could I not love you, my dear? I've made such terrible mistakes…"
