“Oh, and when she met Rodrick! It was love at first sight. Their partner bond connected them immediately, and they have been inseparable ever since.”

"How did they meet?" I had to ask the clan even though I knew the story by heart. Dad always told me when I was a kid Still, I never got tired of hearing it “It was at the annual Silver Bow pack dance.

The alpha of that time decided to invite unmated female wolves from allied packs to see if their fated one was among them. My Becky wasn't interested in meeting her partner yet. In fact, she thought she was cursed and that she would never have a chance to meet her fate.”

“Cursed? Why would she be cursed?” I asked, as she opened the door to the house.

“My Becky was a bit pessimistic, you know.

She thought her origins cursed her, and that she was destined to die as a lone wolf. That the royal line would end with her.
