Telling Sam that she would be the one to judge my mother and the Carter's wasn't easy. I knew she wouldn't take it well. I tried to convince my father to handle the matter but he refused. He knew my mother needed to be humbled and also she needed to know that her time as Luna had come to an end and he believed this was the best way to do it.
My father explained that the only reason I hadn't been given the alpha authority yet was that every Alpha needed a Luna to be strong and focused. Although Sam got her wolf early, I couldn't mark her until she was 21. Werewolves marked their mates at 21 because that was when they got their wolves.
