His Love Came with Priorities
Toby’s childhood friend got pregnant before forming a mate bond.
To keep her from being ridiculed by the pack, Toby decided to bond with her.
I could not accept it. I cried as I asked him, “What about me? What about the pup I am carrying?” However, Toby remained calm as he replied, “Stacy, Tammy is different from you. I am all she has. If the other wolves find out she got pregnant without a mate bond, the rumors and judgment would destroy her.”
Still, Toby forgot that I had no one else either. I also got pregnant without a mate bond, and it was his pup.
Soon, the entire pack was mocking me, calling me promiscuous, claiming that I was carrying some illegitimate child whose father was a mystery.
Toby just stood there, supporting his pregnant childhood friend, watching with everyone else.
That was when I realized love came with priorities.
As the one Toby placed at the bottom, I made the heartbreaking choice to end the pregnancy, so he and Tammy could have the love he chose to protect first.
