Chapter 25 Frannie

• I hadn’t really elaborated on my life plan to anyone before I told Kieran. Hope knew that I wanted the two of us to move to the west coast to live life on my terms, but I had really explained how I intended to pay for the life I wanted. I knew she wouldn’t approve. We may have been best friends all our lives, but we were very different.
• I don’t know what made me tell Kieran my plan and I certainly hadn’t anticipated his reaction. Maybe it wasn’t a respectable lifestyle, but it was the exact opposite of a pack life, which was what I wanted.
• If I ever hear the words ‘Frannie you need to behave and lead by example’ again, it will be too soon. I’m tired of behaving just because I am the Beta’s daughter and heir. I wasn’t supposed to be the heir, it was supposed to be my brother, Francis. Everything about my life has been a reminder of the fact that I am supposed to fill his shoes. It may be shallow of me but sometimes I get tired of living in the shadow of the heir that never was. Hell, they even named me Francine to honor his memory. When I was younger, I tried to use my middle name and was told not to be so disrespectful.
