The Alpha's Regret
He pulled back just enough to grip my upper arms, his watery eyes searching my face with agony.
"Forgive us, child," the old Alpha pleaded, his voice breaking down the middle in front of his guard detail. "Forgive this broken old fool. Forgive the Sinclair bloodline. We failed you. We let a pack of wolves treat a queen like garbage, and we almost cost you your life. I am so sorry, Ruby. So, so sorry."
A bitter, hot lump formed in my throat. I couldn't say the words it's okay, because it wasn't. It had never been okay. But seeing this terrifying old lion reduced to a weeping grandfather broke through the ice around my heart.
