Everyone in the Pack said my Alpha parents pampered me like crazy. But they had no idea what was really going on. I couldn't eat meat, and I had to keep my emotions in check. I couldn't get too happy or too sad, because any mood swings would affect my health. It happened unexpectedly during the month of my sixteenth birthday. One day, my mom brought me a Coke, the drink I'd been dying to try for years. I lost consciousness after drinking it. When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital. My stomach was wrapped in thick bandages, I was running a fever, and my head felt fuzzy. But my beloved parents were nowhere to be seen. It was as if they'd disappeared from my world. Those sixteen years of pampering suddenly felt like nothing but a dream. Half-awake, I caught a glimpse of my mom bringing a girl over to my bedside. "Thank goodness Iris is awake. The surgery went perfectly. Aylin, all those sixteen years of careful nurturing finally paid off," my mom said, her face glowing with satisfaction. I couldn't help but scoff inwardly. Well, wasn't that just perfect? Now the three of you could finally be a happy family together.
