“The previous alpha and luna – the alpha's wife – started a coup d'état, which we refer to as the Lovelace Pack war. This happened twenty-three years ago when I was only a year old. Stella told us Gray and Stacy wanted to become supreme rulers of all werewolf packs. My dad was Gray's beta – the second in command. Lots of people died that night, including my parents and Stella's husband."
Victor pauses, waiting for Erin to interrupt or ask any questions. Taking Erin's silence and petulant stare as a sign, Victor clears his throat before continuing. “Our pack was renamed the Lovelace pack since Stella took charge. Then, when I presented as alpha at thirteen, I was given the pack ring."
Victor crosses his legs under the table, one of his feet bumping into Erin's shin causing him to shiver.
