All the destroyed furniture in the room had already been replaced. I took only some of my clothes, a few other things I needed, and I was packed in no time.

I didn’t want to think too much about this; if I did, it would only result in me breaking down in tears. I also feared that if I paused to think about what I was doing, then maybe I would change my mind.

“What do you want, Isabella?” I asked. She remained by the door to “Thane’s room‘.

“Come on, don’t do this.”

I turned to her. “You don’t have to pretend like you don’t want it.”

“I do, Riley. I want to sleep in the same room with him, but he doesn’t; he wants to be with you.”

“This is the only way; how else would the pack be safe? It’s not going to be

“I’m sorry, Riley.”

“Take care, Isabella, and take care of Thane too.”

“I will,” she promised.
