Clementine:
Few Years Ago:
"He went out to discuss a few things with his father and the council, but if you want, you can stay here in the guest room and wait for his return, Troy’s stepmother offered, handing me a glass of water.
"Um, it’s alright, thank you," I replied, stepping back, ready to head home.
I had come to speak with him. He told me a few hours ago that his father had called a meeting and said he was going to make him the Alpha.
I knew what it meant for Troy. He must be overjoyed with excitement. So I wanted to meet him personally and congratulate him.
I even brought him a cake and cupcakes. I baked them myself for the first time, though I knew they weren’t shaped well.
I wasn’t really a good cook. This was actually the first time I had even stepped into a kitchen.
Even though almost everyone in the pack had told me to go work, I never worked for anyone.
Even when they cursed at me or punished me in different ways, they could not lay their hands on me, they still couldn’t make me do chores for them. Except for my father, he was a different case.
All they could do was bully me or glare harshly, because I always fought back.
I would give them such a hard time.
"Are you sure you don’t want to wait for him? I can tell you baked him something. Did you?" Troy’s stepmother asked, carrying a sweetness in her voice.
Gracie was an impeccable woman. I had heard all sorts of things about her, but more specifically, that she was not at all what she appeared to be.
Troy had told me about her, about the things she did to him and the way she acted with him. It was brutal, and I did not like it.
So I didn’t fall for her sweet manner. I didn’t even accept a single glass of water from her hands, because Troy had warned me not to.
I looked down at the box, then looked up, biting my bottom lip. It was true. These things would spoil. I didn’t even have a refrigerator at home.
And if I placed it in the pack’s refrigerator, where the alphas and betas kept their things, they would probably just eat it or throw it out.
"Okay, do you have any idea what time he’ll arrive?" I inquired, not really wanting to.
I didn’t want to communicate with her. I would rather speak with Lydia, Troy’s mother. She was kind and gentle to me.
I wondered what really happened to these men. Why would they go for second or third mates? I understood that they were given too many mates by the moon goddess.
But if they were going to accept that, wouldn’t they have to ask their first mate’s permission, whether she was okay with it or not?
