Chapter 79 Lachlan

• The sound of Marcus’s chair scraping along the floor as he moved to stalk the office in fury is echoing in my head. I was beginning to think time had stood still until that noise had occured. The way he was looking at with me with such distate and displeasure told me all I needed to know. He knew. My best friend, my Alpha knew the secret I had been fighting so desperately to hide. He knew and he looked pissed off.
• I had thought I had done the right thing chosing to not reject Seren, following the ways Marcus wanted to continue within our pack. Tradition. Knowing that even if I had secretly rejected her, and gone about our life that there would always be the risk of it being discovered. The aftermath would have been catastrophic. And this way had offered an opportunity where we could go on and find chosen mates if the choice occured... an opportunity for happiness. Heirs. A future. I thought I had chosen the right option for us... for the pack... but looking at the cold and blank expression upon my friends face as he stared into space, deep in thought, lost in the information he had just learned, I was beginning to second guess by choices.
• “Well?!” He demanded an answer making me jump. I don't think anything I tell him is going to make things better. He was seeing this in the worst way possible. Not that I was sure there was any other way to see it... for the way I had seen it was beginning to look more and more fucked up by the second.
