I Took My Sister's Place in the Luna Trials, Mother Regretted

"The Lycan King's summons reached all fifty-six packs across the Northern Territories — he was choosing a Luna for his heir.The heir's reputation for brutality preceded him. So my mother swapped my sister Freya's name for mine.Her voice left no room for argument."Elsa, your sister's wolf spirit hasn't fully awakened yet. She can't survive the journey. Go in her place — enter the Luna Trials for her."She gripped my hand, tears sliding down her cheeks at just the right moment."When it's over, your brother will come for you. I swear it on the Moon Goddess."In my past life, I believed that oath.I traveled to the Lycan King's fortress, only to be singled out by the heir himself.I barely escaped his stronghold alive, fleeing through blizzards for seven days and nights before I finally lost my pursuers.After two years as a rogue, I made it back to the Frostfang Pack — just in time to witness Freya's Marking Ceremony with the Alpha.My mother stood at the center of the celebration and looked straight through me."Rogue. There is no place for you here."Cast out a second time, I lost all hope. I died in a blizzard, alone.When consciousness returned, I found myself standing in the stone hall again. She wore the same expression, watching me with those calculating eyes."Elsa, would you take Freya's place in the Luna Trials?""
