Chapter 1
Leoni 's POV*
"Yes James ! I know that she is weak..." Dad snapped out at his beta before continuing-
“I am not as strong as I once was and I am now approaching the age of 45. Nobody in their right mind would try and run the second strongest pack in the country at the age of 45!” Dad sounds annoyed.
They did not notice that I was standing outside the office and listening. I am the weak girl they talked about. The only failure in my dad's life was his daughter, which is me. I am turning 18 in four days, but James was right, I am too weak to rule the pack on my own. My dad is retiring, he doesn’t have a qualified inheritor with strong body and brave heart. Only me.
“Sorry, Dena , My alpha. It is all my fault But I was born like this, I don’t have choice. So does Leoni.” Mom mutters.
What does mom mean for she was born like this? I am the Alpha and Luna’s daughter. My blood is supposed to be strong
“It doesn’t help to talk about whose fault this is now!” Dad shouts at mom just like usual.
“I have not retired yet, but I can feel that I am losing control of the pack. You just born me a daughter. There no way to keeping the control of the pack without a strong inheritor. You have just turned 47 which is more useless. You leave me with no choice!”
Dad wants the ruler of his pack to be his own flesh and blood and well, I am his only child and therefore his only choice.
The problem however, is that I am too shy, naïve and quiet- just like my mother. I am is always so careful and cautious with everything I do. My parents didn't raise me to be so scared of everything but they didn't exactly force me to fight my way through life either.
I have been the weakest one in the pack since I was a kid. No matter how hard I practice my hunting skill, I will never compare to my peers. No matter how hard I work out, my body doesn’t grow any muscles. I can't even hunt a hare on my own. I will always be the weakest one in PACK.
“We have always shielded her away from any kind of danger and we have kept her in the shadows all of her life...which I now regret...She needs a strong mate to guide her through it, with a strong mate, she can rule this pack like the Luna she was born to be!” Dad says.
"But... What if She doesn’t find her mate?" Mom asks. Hopefully, if I don’t find my mate dad will just let me leave with them.
"Then I will marry her off to my strongest warrior…."Dad rush his words out.
"What? No, you can't?! What if she doesn’t love them?!" Mom says sadly
"I don't want you to marry her off to just anyone...please…please" "Said the mother, almost imploring” Poor thing... I hope she finds her mate for her own sake...”
There was silence in the room for a while. A wave of anxiety began to rise within my mind. I am shy and weak; I don’t have any friends except Willow . She is my best and only friend and the second in command (James ’s) daughter. James always cares for me like my father.
I wasn't as shy around Willowas compared to the way I was with everyone else, although I was still fairly shy compared to average people. I told them that I don’t want to rule the pack and hope them could speak for me. Willowcould not do anything about it. She met her mate couple of days ago, A nice, genuine, loving mate! I'm so happy for her! So, she can’t understand my worries about not finding mate.
I can't speak my own mind or stand up for myself. Just like now, I am standing outside the office and listening my parents talking about me, ... so how will I be capable of controlling this pack?
I was becoming extremely fed up with all of this mate talk. The pack under my own leadership will undoubtedly heading towards decline, but it is my destiny to be a Luna.
Sucks right?
I have no place to escape, my future life, my pack future life will have to depend on having a strong mate.
How pathetic I am.
“Promise me you will not marry off her to just anyone” Mum consists again. Mother has never spoken to dad as serious as this. I can tell that mom is worried sick for me.
“You have my words that I will make sure that it’s someone I trust…she will find her mate.” Dad’s tone has never been so calm, and abnormal “Tina, never talking to me in this tone again.”
Is dad losing his mind? Marry me off to someone he trusts?
What I am to him? A tradable goods? A tool for consolidating his power? Did he remember that I was his only daughter? Doesn't he care about my feelings at all?!
Dad may as well sell me at a market like some piece of meat instead of wasting the time to get all the men to fight over me... it would be a lot less hassle. But I would never able to say no to dad.
I'd love to tell my father what I really thought about my marriage... I'd love to tell him how stupid he is acting...I’d love to tell him…but I won't. He may marry me off to a wealthy older man. He is capable of doing anything he want. No one dare to say no to my dad in pack, not even my mum.

"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
