He Believed Her Lies; Now He'll Never Hear My Truth
For a moment, I thought I saw the orphanage again.
On a snowy winter night, three small children huddled around a flickering fire.
Damian gave me the softest part of a stolen bread. Ethan handed me the water he had hidden away.
By the firelight, Damian swore he would become the strongest Alpha and protect me forever.
But now, I no longer needed that promise.
The day Damian and Ethan ceased to trust me, everything between us came to an end. The past was behind me, and ahead lay a beautiful future—like the cold winter giving way to a warm, hopeful spring.
