ALICE POV
Michael was dead!
The reality of it, even though my mother told me with tears in her eyes, refused to snap into place. I didn’t want to believe it. Michael was actually my brother, but when our father died, Michael took control of anything involving Kane. That includes Mum and me.
He was the one who took care of all of us rogues. He taught us to fight, to hunt and more importantly, how to blend in. How to hide in plain sight. Mum and I have both been hiding from the Royals this entire time, in the pack closest to them, nonetheless. If the crown were to come under siege, the Blue Ridge pack would always be the first to respond.
That’s why we’re here. To weaken the crown, we needed to infiltrate and take over control of the shield at the Royal Court. We’d be unstoppable then.
