It’s been a few days since I found out Eli and my mother were alive. I was supposed to start working again but it was hard for me to focus on anything. My mother still hadn’t reached out and I don’t know how to contact either one of them. My past was catching up to me and I didn’t know how to deal with it.

my mother does have a pack then it would be mine as well. How would Blake and I make it work if I have to run a pack?

I slammed my laptop close unable to concentrate on anything but my problems. Blake wanted me to change my last name and now I feel like such a burden. And I can’t get my feelings or thoughts in order. I’m a wreck.

I know I could never let my mother see me this way and I’m sure my father is rolling in his grave. I was raised to be a strong, intelligent woman. I don’t show weakness. The public only sees the
