But now that the day was here, I could not help but feel emotional.I would be leaving a big part of me behind, but I took consolation, knowing the fact that the pack would be in capable hands. I trusted my son, his beta and his gamma with everything in me.Looking back from where I began, I would never had predicted the life that I had now.I was the last child of my parents, I was never meant to be Alpha, it should had been my eldest brother, but he died.
