CHAPTER 306
~Tempest's POV~
(Present Day)
I hadn't heard from Ryland since that night—since Koda walked away, breaking my heart in the process. I wasn't sure what to think anymore.
Had Ryland backed out too? Had he decided, just like Koda, that I wasn't worth the fight?

I had a life. A purpose.

A place where werewolf females, especially those cast aside, could find strength again.
Women who had suffered under oppressive mates rejected wolves looking for purpose, young girls who needed guidance.
