Emily's Pov
All eyes turn to me as Benson announces my position as the leader of the Moon Shade wolf pack. I feel anxiety coursing through my body, mixed with bewilderment.
Some members of the pack protest against Benson's decision to appoint me as leader.
"She's just a girl, she knows nothing about leadership," declares a pack member, pointing accusingly at me.
I notice Nina's angry glare directed at me. She would have liked to lead the pack, as by lineage, it was her right to be the leader of the Moon Shade Pack. Bringing this displeasure to Nina gave me more courage to accept Benson's request.
"I am a year older than Emily and have ruled over an entire kingdom," Benson retorts firmly. "Age is not a sign of wisdom. Firmness, competence, and intelligence are. These are attributes that my partner, Emily Turner, will prove to everyone, including myself, that she possesses to govern by my side when the time is right!" Benson announces.
