Chapter 81

• “It’s alright, Missy. Don’t be too hard on yourself.” He pulls up his pants, lowering his shirt before he sits back down. “The story about her not being Luna-material worthy was a story we fed to the pack members. It is important that their Alpha remains strong in their eyes, and well, able to keep a woman, actually.”
• Closing my eyes, I lower my gaze shortly before I find the courage to lift it again. “How long did it go on for, to turn out that bad?”
• “Well, I gave her a lot of chances. Endured the pain because she was who was supposed to be made especially for me, right?” I blink away my tears as he flashes me a sad smile. “But… One night Finnegan found me throwing my soul up, and… We weren’t actually on good terms at that time, but he sat down next to me on the cold bath tiles and helped me through the betrayal pains like I was a baby. And afterwards helped me stand my ground and reject her. The scars, unfortunately, stayed, but I’m not hung up on her or anything like that. I just didn’t want my pack to worry, and I would love it if that stayed this way.”
