Chapter 12

Freya thought hard and good to call Jake and apologize for running off. Organizing thoughts of what to say to him. She just wanted to hear his voice and get some kind of comfort from him. Freya knew that talking to Jake will calm her anger and give her lots of support.
After all these years, he was still her go-to. Jake has always been patient with her. Standing by her and teaching her most of the things she knew. Deep down in Freya's gut, something told her that she wouldn't end up with this Angel called Jake. Her shifter's side and the terrible rules of her world would come in between them.
She'd attempted to go see her boss's wife. With her, Freya could pour out her heart and find sympathy, but also sage, clear-eyed advice. She knew the world, and she'd tell Freya what to do. Except she hadn't been home. If Freya had stopped to think about it, she would have realized that. She was at the gallery helping her husband because Freya wasn't there for the big exhibit opening. Her boss was probably even going to fire her. Even with her boss's wife being her refuge, she couldn't tell her the entire truth. And Freya didn't care. Her past was a huge secret that hunted her.
