(Brave's POV)
"Mother, father, can't I skip it?" I asked my parents. Hannah wasn't invited to Black Rock Pack's Alpha ceremony despite being my fated mate. So, I wasn't any mood to go.
Though, Mom tried to persuade me, "No Brave, you cannot. You are going to be the next Lycan King so your presence is of importance to this event. They have invited all of us personally. See, even Al and Dio are going this time."
I pressed my lips in a tight line but didn't say a word of protest. After all, it was within my duties as an Lycan heir to attend all significant gatherings and events. And as for not inviting Hannah, we hadn't held any ceremony yet, so that could be a reason.
Reluctantly, I nodded my head in resignation, got up and left.
As soon as I got out, I mind linked my Hannah, "Hey babe, where are you?"
My loves, joyful and vibrant, melting voice echoed inside my head, "I am at the lake."
