Lily's POV:
For the past month, I've been playing my cards just right—lying low, acting as good as I possibly could. And it's working. I've managed to regain some of the trust from the pack members I'd lost. Nelly and Lucas think of me as a reformed soul, a mother who's turned over a new leaf, and it's all thanks to Michael. That kid served his purpose well, the poor thing. He doesn't even realize he's just a pawn in my game. He calls me his best friend, all smiles and trust. How cute. Too bad I can't love him.
Every time I look at Michael, he reminds me of the mistake I made. He's the child of my mate, a man who deceived me in every way possible. The bitterness surges up in me whenever I see his innocent face. If I didn't have any use for him, I would've aborted him the moment I killed his father.
Yes, I killed my mate. And I don't regret it for a second.
