Chapter 185 Shadows Of Moonveil

• LINDA
• My leg won’t stop bouncing as we near Moonveil. The closer we get, the heavier my chest feels. Every field and stretch of road we pass seems to pull me backward through time, dragging up memories I spent fifty-six years trying to bury. Memories of pain, of disappointment, of the endless pressure to be something other than myself.
• I was an only pup for twelve years and trained as the future Alpha in case my mother couldn’t have more children. Back then, everyone in the pack treated me like I was destined for greatness. But that illusion shattered when my brother Marcus was born. Suddenly, my purpose vanished. I went from heir to nothing more than a she-wolf meant to breed “strong pups,” just in case Marcus couldn’t do it himself.
