• I looked at mom who had guilt written all over her face “My family kicked me out,” she dropped her fork, her eyes growing soft “Back then, it was a crime for a werewolf to be mated to a human. Werewolves were forced to reject their human mates and pick someone from their pack to mate with,” She looked at her hands and shook her head “I was in love with your father. Immediately I set my eyes on him, I knew I could not reject him. He was nice, and loving, and he felt the same way for me,” she paused, her eyes growing misty.
• “I told him what I was, and your father was intrigued. He didn’t judge me or rat me out to the other humans. It made my respect for him grow even more. When I told my family I couldn’t reject him, they told me I was a disgrace and kicked me out. I felt broken for a long time, but your father was enough for me. He loved me, and I didn’t regret leaving my pack for him, not even after things started to go sour,” she narrated. I listened to her speak of the man she loved like he was some god. She loved him unconditionally. What they have is rear, and it had me wondering why things were different between my mate and I.
