"It's time, Ella," the oracle said. "You have to conquer the throne."
"Me?" Ella asked hesitantly.
"Yes, you. You are the key to the spring and the prosperity of this pack. The spring is within you, Ella. You were destined for this. And now you have to inherit," the oracle explained.
"But I am not a part of this pack anymore. And I do not want my child to get through the same struggles that I had to face my whole life," Ella replied.
"Ella," Alex came to Ella and took her palms into his. "Are you thinking of leaving this pack again? Just look at everyone, Ella. Not just our pack, everyone in this territory has already bowed to you. You are needed here, Ella," Alex said.
