I sat, lost in thoughts before hearing the veranda door open as Alaria walked out to me.
She didn’t say a word, and I didn’t turn to face her. However, I was surprised when she wrapped a blanket around my shoulders before she took a step back.
“It’s a cold night. Alpha or not, you are still going to be affected.” She said, taking a step back. I looked down at my lap, and sighed.

“I raised our son, on my own, for years. I never even asked my brother for help. I had Damon swarming around my feet, waiting for me to say yes to working with him. I didn’t bother, despite him believing that I would be more than open for revenge. Another woman would have, many might be more than willing to see you falling to your knees. I am the one person who did not.” She said, and I chuckled.
