I stare down at Rick’s note and a part of me wants to throw it away. I’m furious with him for being so pigheaded about me becoming Alpha. But my curiosity gets the better of me and I open it to find his scrawling handwriting.
Raven,
I’m sorry for how I reacted. I love you more than I can ever put into words. Don’t give up on me.
R.
The letter softens my anger but it still irritates me that he left things the way he did. Do I even want my memory back at this point? Will our history make me relent and let him be Alpha? My father expressed his wishes and I intend to fulfill my promise to him.
I deserve to be the leader of this pack. I am powerful and intelligent and I know I can bridge the gap between the two species, hopefully bringing peace to everyone. I know in my bones this is what I’m meant for, and nobody, not even Rick, will keep me from my destiny.
