Alpha's Regret
“What… what happened to you, Cassandra?”
Cassandra took a shaky breath, her voice filled with shame and regret as memories rushed back, memories of the choices she had made, the paths she had chosen, and the arrogance that had blinded her. “I trusted someone,” she began, voice breaking. “A younger man. He made me feel… seen again, like I mattered. But he took everything I had and left. I lost my home, my status… everything.” Her voice cracked, and a tear slipped down her cheek, leaving a faint trail of sadness behind. “I was a fool, Hank. A complete fool.”
