I swallowed fear and anger swirling in my heart. I’ve made Alpha Talon angrier today than any of the past weeks.

“Get out of my house. Get out of my pack.”

“Father, I—”

“Get out of my life and never return. Do not bother returning to my pack or life—not even in your sister’s life—ever again!”

The door opened with a couple of servants bearing my things.

“Fine, Father,” I spoke the last word with such disdain. “Goodbye.” It was a farewell to a daughter to her father, and not a packmember to her Alpha.

 I didn’t bother throwing Amber a look, whom I’m pretty sure is smirking as hell.

Sighing with a heavy heart, though part of me was quite relieved, I gathered my things and vanished through the door I know I will never step again.

The air felt heavy and cold here in the Nightshade Pack's borders.

I was about to set foot in the forest when a female voice interrupted my thoughts.

“I’ve told you, Fiona girl. I always win.” Amber's victorious evil laugh echoed in my mind.

“You really mind-linked me to tell that? How pathetic of you not to brag right in my face.”

A few moments of silence spanned between us. It seems she broke a few glasses in a fit of rage at my words before replying to me.
