It was your mother's wish

CAELLUM’S POV

Dinner was strained. That’s to say the least.

My father, his guests and I were seated on the dining table. The food served remained untouched as we stared each other down.

I was wrong to let them stay till dinner. What the hell was I thinking?

“I believe you have something to say to me.” I coughed up when no one spoke, staring at my father. “Why have you come?”

He didn’t speak, and just when I was ready to throw him out of the house, he started.

“This is Donna Petrov.” He said, referring to the woman who had yet to say a word since she arrived this morning. “She is one of the finest ladies from the Bravta pack. I brought her here for you to take a thoroughly good look at her and test her skills if you may.”

“Why should I be bothered to do that?”

“Because she will be your mate. I want you to take her as your wife and the Luna of this pack.”
