Chapter 115

"Those who are related to the former Alpha can challenge them for the pack," Meredith says. "The person who challenged our father was a second-cousin. He didn't like the running so he challenged him and won. Then it was passed on to his son and from there, corruption happened. They most likely went after your mother because she could rightfully challenge, just like they had the intentions of killing me because I could too. I didn't dare to. But your mother spoke often of doing it." "So, if my mother would have challenged the Alpha and won, she could have taken it back even if she was a female?" I ask and my stomach churns at the latest discovery.  "Of course. It doesn't matter on sex, it matters about who's the strongest. Your mother and I have full Alpha blood and that scared them. Just like you do," Meredith explains.  I let that settle as I slump back in my seat, hands wrapped around the mug and watching her lips move but I do not hear a word.
