The commotion I heard made me come out and see what was going on. I noticed both my sons going to the packhouse, and I wanted to run to greet them. I’m so happy to see Lincoln in one piece. I stopped to take in the scene, and I want to recoil. I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something is gnawing at me, and I don’t like it.

There are so many pack members out here, attracted to the loudness like me. Paul is out here along with my sons, and that terrifies me. I have a feeling that something is going to be said that isn’t going to go well for anyone. “No one needs to hear anything else, Stuart. You have ruined her life long enough.” I’d never seen Nikki stand up to Stuart, and it’s an interesting sight.

“No, Nikki. Little miss Luna has asked me a question. Who am I to ignore her?” Stuart turns to Tia, who hasn’t so much as flinched this entire time. “You took away my happy ending.” No, please, no. Please don’t tell me that he’s going to say this out loud.

“I was going to be happy, I was going to be loved, but your mere existence ruined all of that.” Oh, Goddess, no! I want to yell out at the heavens to get him to stop, but my mouth isn’t working.

The twins were toddlers by then and they were too much. Paul wasn’t there to help you and you felt alone. The Luna duties were stifling you and you begged me to make it all better.” Dad turns back to me. “She planned to

I let them help me stand, wipe my eyes and face him. “You are so f**king pathetic! You are standing there and telling me that you have hated me all of my life because you missed out on being with your fated mate? The mate who didn’t want you because you were nothing but a warrior….the

I’m glad he’s mad, and I’m glad I made him that way. To think I used to cry myself to sleep at night wondering what I did to make him hate me so much when the truth was it had nothing to do with me. He is just a sorry-a*s excuse for a man and wolf. I step forward a few times so that we
