I woke up in wolf form. Amanda knelt beside me, and she was weeping. I did not know what had happened. Did they conquer us while I was out of it?

spoke to each other were painful. She felt I had wronged her terribly, and I was

determined to fix it. I wanted children with her too. I would have made an effort. Tamia was my best friend before we got married. I felt like shit, and slowly rage rose in me against Kyle and Devin. 6

Why did Kyle look for trouble and bring this upon us? I had warned him to be careful that the Dark Alpha wasn’t so forgiving, but he felt Devin would be there to rescue us.
