Daniel was on my mind as I sat on my bed with tears flowing down my cheeks. Despite the fact that he was with my former pack, I could feel his feelings. He was depressed and in agony, but it wasn't my fault that he was. He had destroyed every aspect of my existence, including my self-assurance, trust, and even my capacity as an effective Alpha. As Amber cried from downstairs, I was startled out of my thoughts.
As I wiped away my tears, Amber called, "Sarah, the council is here." Before dashing down the stairs and along the hallway towards the front door, I checked that my makeup was in order. I gave them a handshake in greeting.
I said with my normal smile, "Hello."
