Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I couldn't sleep. My friend from the North Shore pack, Jessica Pratt, was sleeping in the bunk above me. Soft snoring could be heard from beneath her sheets. There were about twenty of us in the room with the beds squeezed close together, Jessica and I had demanded the beds on the far wall as it had the most space. The cheap cots were borrowed from several packs for the festival that was beginning tomorrow. There were even wolves sleeping outside and in the hallway. Jessica had taken a few leaves from her healer to get her to sleep deeply. I regretted not taking any from mine. The only other wolf awake in the sleeping dorm was Veronica.

I assumed she was praying for her mate. Brown eyes looked up at the moon, shiny with salty moisture and she moved a coffee brown strand away from her face. She was approaching her thirties and had been attending the Moon Blessed -estival since she turned fifteen with no luck. Her pack had been shipping her over to every gathering they could in hopes of finding her mate. Even though she was the only surviving child of her Alpha, her pack did not allow females to be an heir. Only males can be Alphas.

I've heard this before when I was still a child but hearing it again at this age hurts me more. I staggered to my feet, swaying a little as I took a step back. Why didn't I realize this before They've been treating me diAerently ever since I came into this house, like I'm some trash instead of a human. Even the servants working here are treating me the same way, with disgust and hostility. Snd I've been wondering why they have come to hate me when I, as a child, only wanted to be loved. Was it because of the 'common blood' Howing in me Right. I caught myself smiling as I stared down on the ground, the thoughts Dlling my head starting to make sense to me. Illegitimate children are unwanted children in this empire. But it's not like we begged to be brought upon this world. If I had the choice, I would've chosen not to be born. '5et out of my sight!' I heard his thunderous voice again, but this time, it didn't make me Hinch. Would it be Dne to just die and disappear My skills, talent, and power would be wasted, but who cares about that My own family couldn't acknowledge me anyway. The cold breeze sipped underneath my skin, and it made me feel calmer than ever. I've always liked this part of the garden, maybe it's because of the lake that reminded me of my mother. Sh. My mother. I turned my head to the lake beside us and it glistened as the ray of the sun hit its surface. What if I drown myself in its majestic waters It'd be wonderful to join my mother soon enough in the afterlife. I could feel Caspian's gaze following me, then he scoAed. -e must be thinking that I look stupid with how I am acting right now. But I ignored him.
