Chapter 56 Betrayal

• Oliver had never felt the weight of his legacy more than he did as he crossed the towering gates of the pack. It had been just a few weeks since he had last been here, and though the land had remained the same, something about it felt different. The stress of his final exams and the rejection of Annabel that didn’t look like it would turn to acceptance anytime soon weighed on him. Perhaps it was because this time he wasn’t just the Alpha’s son; he was the future Alpha himself.
• If he could claim his place without the pressure of a mate, he would be able to scale through all this unnecessary trouble. But nothing good comes easily.
• His mother, Luna Margot, was waiting for him at the main house. She had always been the epitome of grace, with a presence so commanding that even the most hardened warriors bowed their heads in her presence. But as she pulled him into a tight embrace, Oliver could sense her relief.
