Oh. I remembered.

“She keeps leaving my bedroom door open after she leaves,” I sighed, rolling my eyes.

My mom and dad chuckled.

“That’s the same fight you had for years,” my uncle said, shaking his head and taking a sip of his coffee.

“I know!” I exclaimed. “I hoped that she would learn by now.”

“Thanks a lot, Emma,” my uncle frowned. “My coffee is watered down now.”

“Oh, relax, it was just a few drops of water,” my mom sighed.

“Now I know where Sophia gets it from,” I said, narrowing my eyes at my mom. “That’s exactly what she always says to me. Oh, relax, Alex.”

My dad was chuckling the entire time. He approached my uncle and gave him a fresh cup of coffee.

“Sophia?” I heard my sister’s voice. “You are that mad at me?”

I looked at her and rolled my eyes. I only called her Sophia when I was really mad at her. Everyone called her Sophia only when they were mad at her. People called her Sophie or Soph. I always called her Fia.

“You need to close the door when you leave my room,” I sighed.

“I know,” Fia said. “I already told you that I am sorry.”

“Sorry won’t close my door,” I mumbled, frowning at her.

“Okay, enough,” my dad said as he placed a plate filled with pancakes in front of us. “You can argue about it later. We have more important things to discuss today.”

I frowned and looked at my dad.

“Is everything okay?” I asked.

Fia and I turned 18 three months ago, and my father was preparing me to become an Alpha. I was slowly taking over some of the duties and I was hoping to take over the pack by the time I turned 19.

“Yes, bud, don’t worry,” my dad said, giving me a small smile. “I just need to talk to you and Soph about the Alpha gathering this year.”

My excitement grew immediately. The Alpha gathering was at our pack this year and it would be the first time I would be allowed to go. I wanted my dad to take me sooner, but he told me that I had to wait until I turned 18.

“What about it?” I asked, excitedly.

My dad glanced at my mom and my uncle. I could swear that I saw a hint of worry in his eyes.

“We are allowed to go this year, right?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

If my dad said that I couldn't go again this year…

“Of course, bud,” my dad said, making me sigh in relief. “We just want to tell you a little bit about Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack.”

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Fia. She was looking at my dad with a confused expression on her face.

“What about him?” I asked, looking back at my dad.

He took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

“Our pack has a history with him,” my dad said as he placed his hands on my mom’s shoulders. “We moved on, but it’s something that has affected us greatly and we could never forget what happened.”

My heartbeat quickened.
