\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t he want to? Everything seemed fine today. He even hired LA for your ceremonial gown. Jake is the Alpha of the Olsendreich Pack\u2013he\u2019s already done more than enough for you, Deanna. Don\u2019t push it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe thinks I\u2019m dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDirty? Deanna, you\u2019re nly daughter. The daughter of the Alpha of Mistbane Pack. What could possibly make you dirty?\u201d<\/p>\n
I made something up. \u201cYou don\u2019t know this, but his pack looks down on me. They hate that you only bring me home twenty years. later. They think I don\u2019t have the manners, the grace, or the character of Jillian, who grew up in the pack her whole life. They think I\u2019m not good enough for Jake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake never said those words. But Barbara did\u2013and more than once. Using them against Philip now felt perfect.<\/p>\n
Philip\u2019s tone softened a little.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re my daughter. You carry my blood. Jillian is adopted. Be a bigger person and don\u2019t let it get to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Be a bigger person and don\u2019t let it get to me?<\/p>\n
I almost laughed.<\/p>\n
He told me that all the time.<\/p>\n
His actions always showed where his heart leaned.<\/p>\n
Before, I let it slide.<\/p>\n
Not anymore.<\/p>\n
I pretended to go along. \u201cI\u2019m not upset. It\u2019s just, I\u2019m not good enough for Jake. My status is too low, and Olsendreich Pack doesn\u2019t want me. You still have Jillian. Why don\u2019t you make her Jake\u2019s Luna instead of me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna! Admit it\u2013you just don\u2019t want to hold the ceremony with Jake!\u201d Philip roared.<\/p>\n
Then, after a pause, his voice softened again.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext month is your twenty\u2013fourth birthday. This year, your mom and I will throw a party just for you. Everyone in our community will see you as our daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<\/p>\n
Jillian and I were born on the same day.<\/p>\n
Every year, the pack held a grand celebration for Jillian\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
When she turned eighteen, they spent millions on her coming\u2013of\u2013age ceremony.<\/p>\n

It was a huge deal.<\/p>\n
But ever since I was taken back into the family, things changed.<\/p>\n
Kathryn didn\u2019t want Jillian to feel overshadowed, and Philip didn\u2019t want to look bad in public.<\/p>\n
So they always throw the birthday party for Jillian.<\/p>\n
Me? I\u2019d get a simple meal with them the next day. That was it.<\/p>\n
Eventually, I stopped bothering to show up at Jillian\u2019s parties. I\u2019d celebrate with Jake instead.<\/p>\n
Except every time, Peggie just happened to fall ill and ruin it.<\/p>\n
So in all my life, no one had ever truly celebrated my birthday.<\/p>\n
gave Philip a careless smile and brushed him off. \u201cFine, but what about Jillian? We\u2019re not twins. Having a joint party with her nakes me sick. And she sure doesn\u2019t want it either.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ll celebrate hers the next day like always.\u201d<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t even have to imagine how furious Jillian would be when she heard that.<\/p>\n
The corner of my lips lifted. \u201cYou think she\u2019ll agree?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leave Jillian to us. Your mother and I will handle it. You just need to behave and go through with the ceremony with Jake, lright?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sure,\u201d I said flatly. \u201cAsk Jake if he still wants me. Then we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because deep down, I didn\u2019t believe it. Jake would never want me once he knew I wasn\u2019t pure anymore.<\/p>\n
He was too proud, too arrogant.<\/p>\n
