And Then There Were Four

She quickly ruffled through the documents on her desk, leaving me speechless and in shock at what she was saying. This woman obviously had no clue who I was, and if she didn't, someone desperately needed to tell her. Finding whatever she had been looking for, she scanned over the paperwork with a smile. "Ah, yes-you have a sister, don't you? A twin?"

Realizing where she was going with this conversation, I jumped to my feet, fists white as I clenched them together. If she thought for one moment I was going to allow my chaotic sister to become Alpha of our pack, she was wrong.

"It is mine!" I roared at her with anger. "My sister will never hold that title. She is too much of a risk, and if she isn't careful will end up killing someone again."

At my words, Inanna's brows rose in surprise, and it was obvious she didn't know that little fact about Cassie. Which shocked me because I would have assumed Odin would have let them know that small bit of information.

"Tell me more about what your sister did..." Inanna replied, leaning forward, her elbows resting on the desk and her hands clasped in front of her mouth. There was intrigue in her eyes that made me slightly uncomfortable, and swallowing, I contemplated what to tell her, suddenly worried about my outburst.

"It was an accident, but she lost control and her best friend died."

The admission of what happened to her friend Melissa struck an empty pain in my chest I hadn't expected to be there. I didn't want to believe it was my fault what happened to her, but at the same time, I knew I was responsible as well.

"I see," She muttered softly. "You saw this happen, I take it?"

Nodding slowly, I sighed. "Yes, as did the rest of our pack." The vague memory of their horrified expressions was something that would be forever imprinted in my mind.

"Why didn't you stop her from losing control? You said you're the future Alpha. Surely there was something you could have done to stop her... Unless you were part of it."

Narrowing my gaze at her, I squared

my shoulders with a tight-lipped expression.. "It wasn't that easy. Cassie isn't-" Pausing in my

thoughts, I tried to find the righ net

words, and as Inanna's brows raised

with interest to what I was going to say I shook my head.

"Cassie's what?"

"Nothing, she's my sister and everyone makes mistakes," I replied firmly, unwilling to make anymore comments on who my sister was. It wasn't anyone's business and I shouldn't have opened my mouth to begin with.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I understand, but considering that I

don't see the proof of why you don't need these classes. I'm afraid you're

me

going to have to take them. Give one semester, and if you can show me after that semester you don't need them, then I will change your schedule. Does that sound like a deal to you?"

With no point in arguing further, the hollow sensation of defeat grew in my chest. "Understood. Thank you for seeing me."

Turning, I marched from Inanna's

office more upset than I had been

when I went in. I wasn't sure what it was about the entire situation that irritated me the most, but Bronn seemed to get I was pleased and so he walked behind me without saying a word.

If she wanted proof I deserved my title, then I would give her proof.

I would be the Alpha everyone would remember.
