She probably thinks she is hiding it from me, but I can tell something is wrong with A. Ever since
Hannah begged her to reconsider her punishment it is as if she has grown a little dull. Almost like she
was muted, I can only hope she brings it up when it is just the two of us. That would mean she trusts
me enough to let me in. To tell me what is bothering her. I know she trusts me and will tell me
eventually. I just hope that she will tell me soon so I can be there for her. She has known Hannah her
entire life and I know it must be hard for her to deal with Hannah being a rogue now “because of her
decision”
Surely, the other option would have been worse. I had good reasons to believe that if it hadn’t been for
A requesting such a lenient punishment. Hannah would have been executed. It was the punishment
Dad told me he would have asked the Council of Elders for if it was not for A, wanting to spare her
life. That’s why she wanted to see Hannah two nights ago. If she hadn’t been pregnant I was fairly sure
A would have agreed with having Hannah executed. Hannah should thank the Moon Goddess that
my beautiful mate was so warm and kind-hearted that she not only spared her life. But even allowed
her to live out the rest of her days in freedom. Where she could build a life with her pup.
Granted it was not ideal but rogues have been known to go and live amongst humans. As a wolf, you
can even find a way to make sure you don’t lose your wolf. All you needed to do was to go on regr
runs. In your wolf form of course but with a little nning, Hannah would be able to. She could tell her
pup all about werewolf culture, and teach them how to shift. Take them on runs and in the end let them
travel some packs to find their mate. Granted, it wouldn’t be the best life for a young wolf. It would or
could still be a fulfilling one. David and
Hannah were the only ones responsible for the fact that their pup had

no pack to grow up in. No other wolves, that wanted to be in their or their pup’s life. Like how David
was the only one responsible for the fact that his firstborn would grow up without a father.
Maybe this was easy for me to say though. All I saw when I looked at Hannah was the she-wolf worried
about the wolf that mistreated her and all of her pack and family members. The monster who killed his
family just to try to get the mate that he rejected back. A being my second chance mate was only
part of it. Nothing of what David did, what Hannah supported was okay. Maybe it would be less
personal if it wasn’t my mate. The one I loved so much. But I would have petitioned the two of them to
be executed.
A was different though she was far more forgiving and kind-hearted than I am. It was something I
loved her for. Something that I admired but I know sometimes it was hard on her. Even without her
telling me I knew she was either doubting her decision or feeling guilty about it. She shouldn’t be, not
when the woman she was feeling sorry for tried to ruin her life. Hannah told Cynthia to be careful not to
be like her. Everyone found it odd that Cynthia was the one who helped Hannah get her things in
order until Mom pointed out that the two of them had spent some time being locked up together. With
A as amon enemy of some sort.
Mom figured they might have formed a kind of friendship, something we all agreed on after we thought
about it. Hannah’s warning to Cynthia should be a warning sign to A. Proof that the two she- wolves
had spoken about her in some unkind way. After all, Hannah warned Cynthia to let it go and not end up
like her. Yet all it seemed to do was make A feel worse.
The second the gates to the pack ground closed Hannah standing on the other side and grabbing her
chest as the hurt of bing rogue coursed to her body. A had gone to her office saying she
needed to

study for her education to be a Queen. At first, I figured she did not want to see Hannah going
through all that pain. Even if I felt it was deserved I walked away too. I would never watch another wolf
suffer.
Or well I might watch David suffer for all he has done to my wonderful mate but nobody else. But it had
been three hours now, and A still hadn’te out. She had sk ipped dinner letting me know she was
not hungry. it worried me not just because there was a very high chance she was pregnant meaning
she would need to eat enough. Sometimes with how hectic our lives were we forgot just how much
stress she had been undertely. Even the sessions with her therapist were on hold now. She had to
cancel due to heat, she had to sk ip one because of an important meeting the week before. Now we
would reschedule when the heat was over.
But with the trial starting directly after the heat, A hadn’t had the chance to schedule a new
appointment. Let alone attend one, meaning she has been without therapy for three weeks. Both for
her m ental well-being and for her physical well-being. When thest days must have taken a toll on
her physical and especially me ntal health. I wanted her to eat and I wanted to cheer her up without
making it too obvious I was worrying about her. Knowing her she would just feel bad about it again.
Ultimately I decided to make her oven-baked sliders with my crispy oven-baked garlic potato wedges.
Mom had given us some of her famous colew before so I paired it with that. Thirty minutester I
knocked on the door of her office. Unsurprised at the fact she didn’t answer me. She would often put on
her headphones if she was trying to focus, or just wanted to cut herself off from the outside world. She
wasn’t ignoring me on purpose. Opening the door while carrying a tray with two tes of food and two
sses of Dr. Pepper was a challenge but I eventually managed too.
“Darling, I got hungry and I realiii..” I started to tell her my excuse as
to why I brought her dinner to her office. But my words fell away when I finally saw A. I almost let the
tray fall from my hands as my heart broke and what I saw. Something I never expected to see even if I
should have. Everything has been leading up to this, but I got too caught up in life. I was so excited to
be able to rebuild things with A. To take more steps toward the future. That I hardly ever considered
if A was ready to take these steps. If A was as excited and as capable of rebuilding our lives
together. She would always push aside my worries, and I would let her because it was easier. So
ultimately I was to me for this.
