What is going on?

How could they think I would choose to marry Flavin? I can barely look at her, she is my cousin's mate too and now they wanted to toss her my way. It had become a norm for me, I didn't consult my beta anymore, I preferred Avery, she had soothing words for me the reason why I was out here searching for her

I am out searching for Naya. She is somewhere in the garden of the pack house, I can feel it.

As I approach her, I find her lying on the grass and having some kind of mild flashbacks. I'm not sure what she's trying to remember, but I'm here for her.
