I hope you're all enjoying this so far. It's only just getting started, honestly. I can't wait for you to keep reading.

I stepped foot outside and then breathed in the overly chilly air. It was snowing. It was finally snowing.

The snow wasn't heavy. It was light and looked like it would be soft to touch. The air was noticeably more cold than it had been any other morning.

The whiteness covered the ground and everything else around me. The steps to the cabin were covered in snow and I shook my head as I grinned. I loved the snow.

"Ah, finally. Now we have an excuse to sleep in. The snow finally came," I heard from behind me. I turned around and grinned at Ezra who walked out behind me. He returned the gesture and gave me a gentle hug.

He looked much better compared to the night before. Jenny must have taken him hunting and got him to feed off a deer or something. The blood would have helped him heal.

"Glad you're up nice and early," I told him with a grin. Ezra shrugged at me as we both looked out to the snow. Already, some of the children were running out in the snow wearing at least five layers of warm clothing.

"I'll make some hot chocolate for you," Ezra told me. He motioned for me to come back inside and I followed him as he walked back into the warm comfort of our cabin.

We shut the front door, yet I still heard the sound of laughing children as they ran around in the snow. I smiled to myself and shook my head as I followed Ezra into the kitchen.

"That mate of yours... he sat in that chair all night with you. Left this morning only because Henry called him away," Jenny said as she looked up at me from the dining table where she was sipping on coffee and looking at paperwork.

My heart felt warm and I smiled weakly as I looked down at my feet. Jenny giggled as I sat down at the table whilst Ezra began to make hot drinks.

I was incredibly thankful that Liam stayed with me all night. I would've really liked to wake up to him with me as well, but I was happy that he at least stayed with me the night.

"Henry bosses Liam around a lot, doesn't he?" I asked, curious to know the opinions of the vampires in my cabin. Jenny looked up at me again and glanced over at Ezra.

They both seemed a little shocked by my question but were quick to answer. Ezra cleared his throat.

"Liam could easily overthrow Henry if he grew a pair. Henry knows that, so he treats him like a child to ensure that Liam stays where he wants him," Ezra muttered. He sounded bitter about the subject, and it was obvious that it meant something to him.

"You know that Henry is sitting in Liam's throne. But Liam doesn't know it, and I hope he figures it out soon. Because Henry is starting to get on my nerves," Jenny shook her head. I nodded at the two and fiddled with my hands.

It made me angry that Henry took the throne from Liam like he did. Liam might not have been strong enough to take over when his parents died, but Henry could have arranged to take over until Liam was ready.

But of course, Henry took the full throne. My stomach churned. When Henry stepped down from his position as Alpha, Anthony would take over. He was his successor.

I wanted to be sick at the thought of Anthony as my Alpha. He wasn't Alpha material. He might've been an Alpha wolf, but he sure didn't act like it. I wouldn't bow down to him.

"Liam takes all of it because he thinks of Henry as some sort of almighty beast. Liam thinks that Henry saved the pack from falling apart. He might have in some ways, but he ruined it in a lot of ways too," Ezra explained. I nodded my head as he walked over and gave me a mug.
