(Karl POV)
I groan as I put my suitcase down and turn fully around. "What is your point, Mother?"
"Margie, Sheila, and I have been talking a lot about who your chosen mate should be. I think you should seriously consider Sheila, Kael. Margie and I think that wherever Stephanie is right now—she would be very happy with you picking Sheila as your mate."
"Really? Why?"
"Because Sheila and Stephanie were best friends. Sheila will not try to replace Stephanie, and she will not try to erase her memory. Sheila will build on the future that Stephanie would have wanted for this pack."
"What about the future that I want for this pack?"
My mother glares at me. "Why would that be any different than the future that Stephanie wanted? The two of you were completely in sync when she was alive."
I sigh. I am not going to win this fight, nor do I have time to try. I have a flight to catch.
"I have to go, Mother."
"You are not leaving without telling me where you are going."
