#Chapter 6 – Fire Her
Abby

So, this must be Karl’s lady friend. She’s certainly his type–intelligent looking and refined. She’s

wearing neutral clothes, and she seems to look down her nose at just about everyone in the room.

She’s the kind of girl Karl always wanted me to be.

My wolf perks up at the sight of Karl, who’s hovering behind the girl with a tense look on his face. I can’t

really tell what kind of mood I’m in. It’s certainly a shock to see him here, and with another girl, but I

can’t decide how I feel about it.

Our eyes meet, and I can’t help but gaze at him for a moment. I used to love looking into his eyes. I

always thought they were the most beautiful brown color, even more beautiful when he smiled, and

warmth filled them. He’s not smiling now though, and I force myself to look away.

On one hand, my kinder side wants Karl to get what he wants, but my wolf protests in my mind. You

can’t give him what he wants, my wolf says, and I cringe. You just can’t.

I can’t help but wonder what Karl’s wolf is saying to him… if anything. He has his hands clenched into

fists at his sides, and it doesn’t seem like he’s paying close attention to Tiffany and me. Maybe they’re

having some sort of argument.

I want to talk to Karl’s wolf too much, but I haven’t recovered enough to establish a mind-link, my wolf

continues.

Shut up, I say to her. He’s clearly forgotten how he ended up in this situation.

She growls in response but goes quiet.

As charming and handsome as he is, I can’t forget everything he put me through. The period after our

divorce was one of the darkest moments of my life, if not the darkest moment. Not just for me, but for
