The crowd had booed at me and the pack elders and officials had thought I was insensitive and ungrateful. That was when the strong dislike for me started.

This time would be different.

I stepped forward, a serene smile on my face.

“On behalf of Silverfang Pack, I welcome you, Amara. Your bravery and your skills will be a great asset to us all and I promise to make sure you’re paid back in ten folds everything you’ve done for us and everything you will do".

It was a threat and she knew it because her smile faltered, confusion flickered through her features but before she could react, I had already turned away, instructing the servants.

This was just the beginning. I would do everything in my power to save my pack, my mate and my unborn pups.

And when the time came, Amara would pay for everything she had done – in blood.

Freya POV

The great hall buzzed with excitement as the people partied.

In my previous life, I had been so angry and sulked all night at the party. I remember hearing whispers of other members of the pack calling me childish and doubting my ability to rule beside the Alpha. They had gathered around Amara who was sobbing and insisting she would leave and didn’t want trouble.
