"I guess so,” she whispered. "I just hope he'll one day see it that way too and I can return home."

That was another reason she had to stay in this mansion; she couldn't be around matt right now without his wolf going insane and trying to rip her throat out for betraying them. She nearly tried to kill him just to get rid of me and that was something Matt's wolf wasn't going to forget. But maybe one day he'll be able to let it go and live in peace with her again.

One could only hope.

A knock on the door broke us from our thoughts. I frowned as I lifted my head and looked at Irne.

"Were you expecting someone?" I asked her.

She shook her head, wiping her eyes from the tears that escaped.

"No," she replied.

"Hey!" she said, hugging me tightly. "Heard you were staying here tonight and thought I'd come join."

"I almost forgot you were in town," I admitted. "With everything going on this last day or so, my head is in a complete cloud."

"Didn't think we wouldn't come too, did you?" Shirley asked as she walked into the mansion.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked with a laugh as I shut the door behind them.
