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.
