Iris:
My mother's eyes shimmered as she continued staring at my father. I ignored her. Instead, I forced myself to keep eating despite the discomfort.
"You know I am no longer the lycan king, so I cannot make that decision," my father replied.
I almost choked on my food. What he meant was clear. I was in charge now, and she was supposed to speak to me.
My mother snapped her head toward me, then looked back at my father. I caught a trace of betrayal in her eyes.
"You want me to beg my own daughter to wake up her brother?" my mother demanded, pointing to her chest.
Her eyes grew watery as she continued to stare at him.
"It is not about begging," my father responded calmly. "You need to speak with her. Besides, if Wilson is sleeping, then it is not time for him to wake up yet."
His words shocked both my mother and me. I had thought he wanted Wilson to wake. I wondered what had happened while I was gone that caused my father to change his stance so completely.
