My father is taller than any man. That I had seen…

My mother looks deceiving at small height but she could kill the best warriors from three of the nearest clans…

And I came from them.

I was a rare breed. Born of two alphas and a female. My mother was like this and her mother. Her mother too, for I had a beautiful bloodline. Any alpha’s son would kill for me. A female with alpha blood.

Don’t get me wrong, I was happy, blessed, and beloved. Growing up I had no clue of the challenges my life would face just because of my ability to give a man a strong pup.

It was as golden as I could remember. I laughed and danced and ran until my lungs burned and my feet had calloused. I learned my duties to help and heal and defend my community. My pack.

My parents, however, were sensible, they taught me to grow food, cook, hunt, and learn. I knew how to be self-sufficient so that come what may I would be able to help myself.

Many women in my position are bred and then abandoned. Their alphas get a strong pup, maybe a precious prize daughter, and they are left for dead.

They made sure I’d have a life.

“Anna!”

My mother can call louder than a man. Though I was particularly late. I had been dragging my feet all morning, all week. I did not want to do this.

I had begged my parents to delay another year just one to give me some scrap of time to hold onto so that I could keep my life, my independence, and my sanity.

They were right though. Going through a heat unmated can kill you. And I refuse to surrender my life.

So now I displayed my curly brunette locks in a bun that allowed some to flow out like a waterfall and more in the front to frame my face. The simple dress I wore was pleasing to any eye. I always went for elegance and class. A daylight blue silk wrapped around me. It’s Queen Anne n*eckline and tight silhouette were the evening goal.

“A pretty piece of cattle I make,” I grumble.

My ire had grown in recent weeks. I did not mind a mate at all. I was a hopeless romantic who dreamed of true love. I just knew this would never grant me that wish to be looked at like I was beyond perfect. The look of the world pinning itself in place around me as he memorized my features. I would never know passion, intimacy, euphoria, or love.
