~Rae's POV~

I skipped around the mansion as I hummed to my favorite song on my iPod. "Hey Fredrik!" I waved at out my dad's beta the minute I saw him. He frowned at me. "Please don't run, Rae. No need for children tactics. You're too old to be skipping like a five year old."

I pouted as I slowed my pace. "You're no fun."

"Just trying to do my job." he said, stroking my orange-gold hair. I sighed and walked away. Does age seriously matter? I walked stopped dead in my tracks when I heard something interesting in my parent's room.

"What are we going to plan for Rae's birthday?" dad asked. I leaned on the door to hear better.

"Don't worry darling, I have it planned out. I asked few boys about becoming Rae's mate, and many had agreed. It's her coming of age."

Okay, so age does matter. I covered my mouth, screaming in my head. I can believe this was actually happening! This is a girl's dream come true. To be swooned by the hands of men. Well, not men, you you get the idea.

"That's great. I'll plan that at the Great Rock. I'll invite others to see that magnificent day." Dad said proudly.

I stood up and silently walked to my room. I closed the door shut behind me before I jumped in bed and buried my head in my pillows, screaming. I am so excited. This can't be real! I sat around the mansion and played with other kids my age, boasting about how many hot guys who wants my hand in marriage. Of course, skipping the boyfriend/girlfriend level is odd, but it's better than none at all. My mood was somewhat crushed when few jerks were still making fun of my birthmarks, saying that I tattooed myself when I was in my mom's stomach. You see, our pack has a thing against tattoos. It was too similar to being marked by your mate. Despite being a pure werewolf pack, our smelling senses are as strong as an actual wolf.

I grew tired of playing around and headed back to my room. I saw Fredrik talking to my dad in his room. I was about to barge in to crack a joke, but then I stopped when I heard dad saying, "We'll have to kill her."

I stopped in my tracks and listened. For some reason, dad didn't look like he's joking. "What do you mean, sir? She's your child, isn't she?" Fredrik said, wide-eyed. My heart sank to my feet. They were talking about me! I clutched to the doorframe to steady myself.

"She is, but she's a woman. I can't allow her to take over the pack."

"But sir, she's your only child."

"Perhaps you're right. I'll decide to kill her when she shifts. If she turns into a weak mutt, I'll rip her head off for sure." he said, his expression showing this was no joke and he won't allow any mercy.

I quickly walked away and ran to find mom. She'll definitely protect me! I saw her at the corridor near the fountain will her lady-in-waiting Linda. What's with my parents and their little sidekick talking so secretively? I hid and listened to their conversation.

"Did you get the poison?" Mom asked, looking around to make sure they were alone.

Linda nodded and hands over a pink vial. "Yes, what did you need it for?"

"For tomorrow's ceremony. I can't allow our disgraceful daughter become the next alpha. She is too reckless and is too gullible." She snatched the vial out of her hands and placed it on her hip belt.

"But she's your only child. There's no way you're doing that to her, right?" Linda said with worry. It's really sad how the secondhand lady is more worried about my safety that my own mother. "You know your body can't handle having a child." Never mind.
