The tear she tries to hold back escapes.
I stare at her, confused. I don’t understand how I have caused her so much pain and how she could be lonely in her pack surrounded by family. I take a step closer, closing the gap between us. I wipe her rogue tear from her cheek with my thumb. Her eyes close from my warm, gentle touch. When she opens her eyes, she finds me staring sadly into them. ‘You might be unstoppable, Lylah, but you’re not unbreakable,’ I tell her.
