Valeria's eyes widened as she processed Violet's words.
"Mate? You and Ash?"
Valeria wanted to be happy for her cousin, but she couldn't stop the bitterness that swelled within her.
Valeria was the oldest one among cousins with the Moonrider bloodline, and she worked hard, yet she will never be a true Alpha with a pack. No matter how much their people respected and supported her father, the true Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack was Alpha Natalia Moonrider. With Talia being the official Alpha, Talia's oldest child was set to be the next Alpha.
How Valeria saw this, Violet had it all. Superior genes, talent, looks, and smarts, and now she also snatched Ashton.
Violet was younger, yet she had found her mate!
This was one more confirmation that Valeria always came second, at best.
A lot of pride and hot blood are present in the new generation of Alphas.
