“I’ll tell you everything, every plan, every conversation I had with her. I don’t care what happens to me, but she can’t keep hurting the pack.”

I told Aurora everything, the ways in which Alina had planted doubt, the words she had whispered to ignite my jealousy, the note she had told me she passed to Miles when she came here last night.

By the end, her lips were pressed into a thin line, fists clenched.
