(Lena's POV)
I woke up with this strange feeling like something bad was about to happen, I felt nervous. The pack seemed too quiet for a regular Saturday morning. Pushing all those feelings aside, I got ready for the day.
There was a knock on the door and for some reasons, my heart pounded.
It was the Luna, my mother. She had a smile on her face and that surprised me, I was used to the ugly looks she usually reserved for me, so this was new, still I felt hope building up, it was stupid to think that she smiling at me meant anything, but still I felt hopeful.
I found it strange that a mother could hate her own child. Her only child.
"Your father wants to have a word with you darling" she said, I didn't miss the pet name, it had been years since she called me any pet names, it felt all wrong, everything about her visit, for once, she was trying to be nice and secondly my father rarely speaks to me, sometimes it was like he wanted to forget he had a child. My parents had wanted a male child, a child that would take over and become the next Alpha, they wanted a child strong and dominant, but instead they got... me; the weak girl, it was a slap to not only my parents but the pack as a whole. I might be the daughter of the alpha, but I would never deceive myself into believing I was accepted here.
So I had every reason to wonder what had been so important that my mother had to put up a fake smile and my father had to stand my presence, usually those falsities were reserved till when we were in public.
"Did I do anything wrong?" I asked, unable to stop the panic from rising. My mother's smile faltered, showing me how hard it was for her to keep up the act.
"Of course not" she answered with her high pitched voice. "On the contrary, we have some good news for you, you would love it"
I doubted that. Anything that was good news to them was horrible news for me.
Still, I followed her to my father's office; I couldn't help but feel more unsettled when I saw the smile on his face too, he rarely smiled, it wasn’t his thing and it looked awkward on his face.
