A few years ago...

"If you don't stop, then I will make you"
Your colleague, Johnny grunts as he hovers above you with evident sweat on your face.

You don't reply to him and continue to do your work out session, push ups here and there and then you go after the weights. Even though you were a human living with a wolf pack, you still wanted to build your own strength.

Not because you were fat or unfit. It was always because that there was this gut feeling that told you to stay alert 24/7. Felix and Your younger sister Olivia were great strong wolves, they were strong enough to even lead the pack on their own, but they were too young and still enjoying their lives. You on the other hand were the oldest and always had the self doubt problem.

In other words, you don't want to be 'the weak one'

Your lovely work out session gets interrupted when your mother bursts into the room.

You calmly put the weights down and use the towels laying on the bench and wipe the sweat off your forehead and gave a small smile as you faced mother.

She had the look of absolute horror and small tears brimming around eyes, your smile fell a little, nonetheless you still questioned her,

"What's wrong mother?"

"It's... It's the Duke"

You nodded and drapped on your on and only black trech coat as your colleague without question as he rapidly shapes into your Shadow and you leave the mini Gym of the Mansion.

Your mother trails behind you and catches up,

"How did he get here so quick?"

"I don't have any idea... But he wanted make it very clear about... About... The proposal"

You both walk straight down the halls and then straight down the fresh marble tiles

"What sort of 'proposal' is he referring to?"

Your mother shudders a little and continues,

"The marriage kind... Not just for anyone..."

In no time, you both are by now in the car and you both sit tight as you take the wheel.

"He wants his daughter to marry the First son of the Grey Hounds."

You mother sighs loudly and she looks at you for your reaction.

"He wants his Selina to marry Lix?"

You scoff.

"Like in hell I will let them"

"What are you exactly planning to do?"

Johnny shoots you a look as he derforms from the back of your head.

You take a right and drive in silence, you didn't understand what you would say to him, not mention Johnny wasn't recovered from his last mission was getting better by now, and worries over the slightest things.

"I'm...  going to give him a piece of my mind" you exhale.

His questioning manner then turns into a sly smirk as predicted about you.

You knew this would happen one day, sure many people would fall in love with the Greyhound siblings but since their werewolves, all of that love would fall into vain anyway.
