Mirage’s P.O.V
“Why?” I screamed, my voice scrubbed raw as I looked at the woman I was a splitting image of. “Why do I have to follow you around all this time? Why can’t I just…stop! I’m fed up of all this, mom! I just want this to end!”
Maya Alejandro, former beta to the Dark Water pack, a powerful wolf who had lost everything in the name of love, and the woman who was my mother…slapped me across the face.
“You think I’m not?” She asked; her voice soft, yet firm. “You think I’ve been doing this for the last twenty one years just for fun? Moving from one place to another; making sure all our traces has been erased. Constantly changing jobs to try to keep putting food on the table. Your father and I are trying our best, Mira. The least you can do if be grateful for what we have!”
