For Serena, Alpha Rylan cruelly left Aiden and me to fight against our rival pack. He didn't even hesitate to go to Shadow Pack, even though he knew Aiden's coming-of-age ritual was a special day for our son. He ignored my kneeling pleas and left just to please Serena's previous pack. When I thought about this, my heart still ached.
When the Darkwood Pack heard what I said, they all looked at me as if I were a stranger. No one expected that I, who was always gentle and obedient, would refute their Alpha in public. Rylan frowned and said impatiently, "I didn't attend his coming-of-age ritual, so what? It didn't even happen because of the ambush. How long are you going to make a fuss over such a trivial thing?"
Serena took the opportunity to instigate. "Luna Alara, I know you are petty and jealous. It's fine when you act capriciously just in front of Alpha Rylan. But today is a big celebration! Our pack just defeated our biggest enemy! Why don't you just tell us where Aiden is? Our Alpha wants to see his son, and for sure, Elder Maris wants to see her grandson as well. How can you deliberately hide Aiden just to vent your anger? You are really unqualified as a mother."
