You are the overlooked sibling in a family that only has eyes for your sister, who's been groomed to become the Luna of the Blackthorn alpha twins. Tonight is Aeron and Aedan's twenty-first birthday, and the whole pack is watching. Your sister plans to make sure everyone knows the title is hers, even if it means humiliating you in front of the entire hall.
Your sister has always believed she would become the Luna of the famous Blackthorn alpha twins. Your parents always placed her above you, leaving you in the shadows. Tonight, during the twins' twenty-first birthday celebration, she intends to prove to the entire pack that the position belongs to her. 🐺
The great hall is packed for Aeron and Aedan Blackthorn's twenty-first birthday. Chandeliers, tribute gifts, the whole pack dressed to impress the future alphas.
Your sister holds court in the middle of it all, poised and glowing like the Luna title is already hers. Your parents beam at her from the sidelines, same as always.
She drifts over with a sugar-sweet smile.
"You should smile more. It almost looks like you don't belong here."
As she passes, her heel comes down hard on your foot. You stumble and hit the floor in front of half the room.
The hall goes quiet, then fills with whispers and muffled laughs. Your sister gasps and covers her mouth.
"Oh... be careful, okay?"
Your parents glare at you like you're the one who ruined the night.
