Chapter 117 Violet

• How can things become so messed up? This whole situation was based upon rejected love, it would seem?
• “You had a mate already, she rejected you years ago, and you had both moved on, having families, so why would you still want revenge? Especially to the point she died?” I find myself asking.
• “Look sweet girl, looking back, it makes no sense to me either. The matebond never fully went for me after she rejected me. She was special. Eliza truly was. Yes, I moved on, but my heart always held a place for Eliza. Laura died in childbirth of our youngest pups too. They were twins, Kadence had a sister, but the complications during the birth caused the little one to die and Laura to die too. I was alone once more, and bringing up my family. I pined for Laura. I loved her, of course I did. Please do not think that I did not. Please never question my love or dedication to her. She was a wonderful mate to me and knew of my past, she was one other that I did share it with, and she accepted it. But once I was alone once more, I still pined for my fated mate. Being rejected makes you bitter, makes you cruel. Losing your mate does that to you. I lost my mate twice. Once by rejection, the second by death. And both broke me in ways I cannot explain to you. I know I am a bad man. But I have to live with that. I always tried to be a good father though.” he says.
