Chapter Fifteen

Rose

Alastor's words from last night lingered in my mind all the next day. No matter what I did or where I went, they were there. I would have never guessed out of all people, Alastor's voice would be the one that would haunt me.

The worst part was that they were technically my words, and he was using them against me. I never realized that my words had stuck with him after all this time. Then again, I never really knew what was going on in Alastor's mind.

I sat on my bed, sucking on the inside of my cheek as I stared at my bedside table. My thoughts drifted to the last day I saw Lorraine. It was eight years when she declared she wanted to go out and see the world.

She was twenty-two and sick of waiting to meet her mate. She had gotten special permission from Alpha Dane to leave the territory for an extended amount of time. If I had known that was the last time I would live with her or see her; maybe we would have treated each other differently.
