CHAPTER 79

  Marisol wasn't just any hybrid. Her father was a hybrid from the mountains, but he'd only inherited his wolf abilities and Lilian was able to harness witchcraft.

  Nicole was a powerful witch bane as well as a powerful wolf. Marisol, being their only child, inherited both qualities. She was destined for greatness.

  Yet, beneath the pride that swelled within Nicole's chest, the nagging worry persisted. Something felt off. It was an instinct, a mother's intuition that whispered of unseen troubles. Nicole observed Marisol's every move, scrutinizing for any hint of distress or anomaly.

  The pack members around Marisol displayed a mixture of admiration and respect, their eyes reflecting the pride they felt for their future Alpha. Marisol, aware of her audience, performed with a confidence that bordered on regal. She was not just a leader in the making; she embodied the qualities of a queen destined to guide her pack with wisdom and strength.
