~Dahlia's POV~
"Mama, where is papa?I asked my mother who sat quietly knitting a shawl by the fireplace. Her face glowed with a kind of warmth that I hadn't seen in a long time and the smile on her face was contagious, so contagious, it made my heart squeeze with warmth.
Subconsciously, I smiled back.
"Your papa is off protecting the pack. He's gone to fight the battles that we cannot fight. And to protect us from the tyrant Alpha who tried to lay claim to our pack and our children."
"But when will he return?" My brows furrowed as I regarded her, unsure as to why she would look so pleased when her husband… my father was probably in some sort of danger or something.
She smiled brightly— a little too brightly— as she set the shawl down and glanced up at me. She muttered; "I don't know, but I think he'll be back today, baby, or tomorrow. Word spreading around the pack is that we have the upper hand and that soon, our warriors will be singing songs of victory.
