He grins. “I believe it was something along the lines of, ‘If you don’t build my daughter back into the strong, confident woman she is, I will come down there and shred you into so many pieces the Moon Goddess herself won’t be able to put you back together“.”

I feel my mouth drop open. “My mother said that? To DANE?”

“She did. And Dane warned me that I’d be next if we didn’t fix things. You and your mother clash, Sebi, because you are so much alike. You don’t just look like your mother, you ARE your mother’s daughter. And that should tell you everything you need to know about how much the rest of us love you. Dane adores your mother. I love your mother like she’s family. And let’s not even start with how much dad loves her. I have a fated mate, and I know he couldn’t love your mother any more than he does. If we all love her for the amazing woman that she is, and you are just like her, doesn’t that imply that we all love you for the amazing woman that you are, Sebi?”

I look at my brother, holding his gaze. “What if I fail, Ry?” I whisper.

He slaps his hand to his chest in mock surprise. “Oh my goddess, Sebastiana? Are you really human after all?”

“Shut up, Ryan,” I say, throwing a pillow at him that he catches easily, grinning.

“You were right about one thing, Sebi. You have led a charmed life. You’ve led the life that most Alphas dream about. You have two powerful, loving parents who adore you. You have family who adores you. You’ve grown up with a solid foundation, with family and friends who have been training you to excel here at the Academy your entire life. And you’ve never taken that for granted. But Sebi, in a few short months, the Academy will be over. What then? Who will you be then?”

“Whoever I want to be,” I say instantly.

“Right. And who is that? I think that’s what Shane was getting at earlier today. What do you want, Sebi? Who is Sebastiana Webb, other than the youngest child of Sebastian and Christina Webb? Who are you besides your number on the leaderboard? What do you want to do or be when you leave here? Those are the questions you need to start thinking about because your life is just about to begin Sebi. Everything you’ve done until now was to get you to this place, to make sure you succeeded here. Now you’re here but what comes next?”

He leans forward. “Well, you have time to think about it. You have classes to work through to decide where your greatest gifts lie and where your strongest desires are for the future. Goddess knows you’re still getting job offers back home. But even Christian struggled when he returned home. Sebi. Having a lot of options comes with his own level of stress. Start thinking about what Sebastiana wants for her life. And if you ever need someone to talk to, my door is always open. If you need someone to hit, I’ll make sure Dane’s door is open,” he says, grinning.

I laugh. It feels really good to laugh with my brother again.

“Thanks, Ry.”
