I forced a scoff. "Tell me about it," I muttered, rolling my eyes as if she could see me, my fingers tightening around the necklace on my neck. A gift from Alaric I had grown fond of.
"Anyway, I called to share some news with you," she brushed off the topic as if it wasn't important. And yes, it's never been important to her.
"I knew it. Shoot."
"Alpha Jaden is back in the country!" She sounded thrilled. Giddy, even.
I blinked at the ceiling. Okay… and? I had heard her and Alpha Don mention him a few times in passing. Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. Twenty-six. Successful in the business world. Had an empire spread across the globe. Wow. I didn't even realize I knew that much about him. Guess that's what happens when your parents practically worshipped a man like he was the Moon Goddess reincarnated.
"Are you there?"
Mom's voice snapped me back when I didn't respond.
"Yeah, Mum. Well… welcome to him." I said.
Definitely not the response she expected from me.
