ZADOK
I sat in the throne room with my parents, playing with the hourglass I stole from the witch’s lair. “Daddy, how much time do I have before I begin training to be alpha?” I asked, genuinely interested in his answer.
“Oh, Zadok, eager to displace your daddy, aren’t we?” Mum said with a soft smile.
“He’ll make a perfect Alpha, love. I can tell just by looking at him.” Daddy said with a proud look on his face.
“Gatria said I can begin my training after getting my wolf.” I pouted, “Why can’t I begin the training now so that when I transform into my wolf, I’ll have more power to control it.”
That caused my parents to burst into a fit of laughter.
“Oh, Zadok, you don’t control your wolf. You partner with him.” My mom said between laughs.
“But you said I can only partner with my mate,” I dropped the hourglass on the floor and looked up, “Why do I need to partner with my wolf when I have my mate?”
