Chapter 1: Birthday

Sophie

I walk downstairs, seeing that everyone is still buzzing about the party tonight. Everyone loves my sister. She’s sweet and kind and as her younger sister, I would know. She’s never been mean or catty to me or anyone. She’s one of the kindest women I’ve ever met. I just hope that her mate recognizes what a gem she is.

I’m sure he will. And if she’s lucky, he’ll be an Alpha. That will make her a Luna and she can show that pack all the kindness that she has shown ours.

After sending trays of food up to my mother and sister and eating my own breakfast, I go in search of my father. Because I’m his daughter, I usually don’t knock on his office door unless I know he has company. I lean my ear against the door and when I don’t hear anything, I open the door to find my father with his head in his hands. I can smell the scent of scotch and I see an empty glass beside him on the desk.

“Dad, is everything okay?” I ask, worried. First my mother, now my father.

His head snaps up as he looks at me.
