We both stood there staring at each other for a while till I cleared my throat and smiled to clear the tension but the dead look in her eyes

still remained.

“Oh you’re here” I murmured as I walked closer to her but she just took a step backwards which made me frown.

“You don’t have to be afraid of me, I would never hurt you” I murmured.

“I lost my mother at a very long age! I didn’t get to experience the love of a mother and my brothers had to raise me up themselves and mind you, they were still kids. We had to watch our father lose his mind and wallow in agony from losing my mother and we could do absolutely nothing about it. Don’t try to justify what your husband did because he has ruined a lot of lives and if I have any say, you losing your child is just his karma” She muttered then wiped away her tears hardly while I just stared at her.

“I’m sorry on behalf of my husband and I. He only did what he did because of me so I’m the one you should blame for your father’s death. You can hate me for as long as you want but I can guarantee you that liking me is so much better especially since I already like you. We are about the same age, aren’t we?” I questioned and she scoffed.

“That doesn’t change a thing. So what if we are age mates, I will never like a Donovan” She muttered and I just smiled.

I let her go and got ready for the day. In order to take my mind off Damon I had to keep myself busy and that was exactly what I did. I kept myself busy by doing anything I could do around the house and pack. I even talked to some pack
