#Chapter 102: Louisa

Louisa POV I sat in some anonymous antechamber in the palace and basically felt like shit. I was young, but I’d had many experiences. I’d run with the pack under a full moon. I’d attended, and excelled at, Lunaris’s top schools. I’d challenged an alpha who wouldn’t respect my space, and I won, though I spared his life. I’d been victorious and elated, defeated and despairing. But nothing had come close to the absolute shock I felt when I watched Olivia transform into a silver wolf. I remembered everything about that moment. I felt myself grow faint. I had fought to keep from falling to my knees. I had almost screamed at the realization that everything I thought was true about my life was wrong. As a child, I had an odd sort of relationship with Olivia, my stepsister. I had liked her, but I had resented her. I became aware that she was going to get everything I wanted, whereas I was fated to live an ordinary life at the keep.
