Chapter 16

I didn't know what to expect from my mother, but I certainly didn't expect what was to come. My mom's loud laughter rang in my ears, making my stomach turn. "Oh Rose, I knew you weren't a good liar, but I didn't think you were this bad!" Feeling very hurt from her words, I bit my tongue before I said something I'd regret later. My mother has always been like this. Don't get me wrong, she is an amazing mother, but she's got no filter. She just doesn't realize how her words can come off to others and it used to be much worse when my dad was alive and would edge her on. She'd say anything she wanted to. Noticing my serious expression, Sophia whispered for her to stop and finally my mom's laughter finally died down. "Oh, come on Rosie, the Alpha Wilder? You're telling me that you are mated to the most powerful Alpha there is? Is this like that time you said you found your mate when you were just a little child?"
