, urging me to push myself to the limit. I took a deep breath, my gaze fixed on the opponent before me, and reminded myself that I was ready for anything that came my way. And then, the

that it would actually come true. As the realization set in, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I had been so afraid that my father would force me to find my mate and settle down like my brother had done, but now it seemed like he was actually listening to me and my desires. It was an incredible feeling. And then, as if on cue, Beta Benjamin walked over, a broad smile on his face. "Congratulations, Hallie," he said, patting me on the back. "You've worked hard for this, and you deserve it." I felt a rush of gratitude towards him--he had been one of my biggest supporters from the beginning, and I knew that I wouldn't have gotten this far without him. "Thank you so much, Beta Benjamin," I exclaimed, rushing over to hug him. I was so grateful for everything he had done for me, and I knew that I would never forget this moment. As I hugged Beta Benjamin, I could feel the excitement coursing through me. This was it--my chance to prove myself, to show everyone what I was capable of.

"We have some paperwork to take care of first. But don't worry--we'll get you to the Garson Pack as soon as possible." I nodded, feeling a little impatient but also grateful for the chance to let everything sink in. This was going to be a journey, and I was ready for it. “First thing in the morning, make sure you are ready to go.” He winked and turned to walk off. J
