Garcia' POV
"Rowan always told me my mother died before I was very young. He claimed she was just an Omega Wolf, but we both know that was complete nonsense. She was a Lycan, and if Elder Dwayne's information holds any truth, she held significant rank among her kind." My voice comes out barely above a whisper.
"Absolutely correct. High-ranking female Lycans are the only ones capable of producing either Wolf or Lycan offspring. Any female Lycan below Gamma rank will only bear Wolf pups when mated to a Wolf." Livia's confirmation sends a chill through my bones.
"I never finished reading that book Elder Dwayne handed me. What other crucial differences exist between our species that I should understand?" The question burns in my throat.
Chase launches into explanations about the obvious distinctions - height, strength, speed. These differences I already recognized, but hearing him break them down in such detail makes everything feel more real and overwhelming.
