DIANA'S POV
-
On the balcony of a ruined tower overlooking the pack's vast lands, I sat with Mother's journal resting on my lap.
"Dear Diana, I'm so sorry you had to meet me this way."
She knew she was going to die. I closed my eyes, taking a long, heavy breath before returning to the page.
"As you grow older, you will start feeling the heat. It can get overwhelming sometimes, and you will learn from the stories passed down that only your true mate can ease it."
I sucked in a wavery breath, desperately trying to pretend Elijah wasn't my mate.
"That part is true," Mother's book continued. "Alexis discovered who her true mate was. But unlike Alexis, your wolf is dormant."
Yeah, right. I snorted. Then why the hell am I feeling the heat?
"They destroyed Alexis, Sweetie, when they found out about her powers. I didn't want that for you, so I made your wolf sleep."
