Seeing Victoria cry still twisted something deep in Terrence’s chest. From the day they became mates, he’d promised himself he would protect her.
But no matter how much it hurt, he knew he no longer had the right to comfort her.
His voice came out rough. “Thanks for checking on me.”
“That’s all? Just a thank you?” Victoria shook her head, disbelief written all over her face. Then she glanced at the stream and stepped straight into it.
The water soaked through her dress in an instant, the fabric clinging to her body.
Terrence stiffened and immediately turned his back.
But Victoria wrapped her arms around him from behind.
“Terrence, I miss you. I really do.”
“You can’t do this. You’re someone else’s Luna now. We can’t…” Terrence tried to pull her off, but she held on too tightly. He didn’t dare use too much force and risk hurting her, and for a moment, he couldn’t get free.
“Terrence, you ruined me.” Victoria’s voice broke as she spoke. “Ironclaw Pack isn’t some dream place. I walked straight into hell. You owe me that much. If you were alive, why didn’t you send word?
“After the mate bond broke, I was going to stay and wait for you. And I did, for a while. But those days… every time I looked at the room we used to share, you were gone. I couldn’t feel you anymore. It hurt too much, so I went back to my family. Later, Caleb’s mate came with a proposal. It was the Alpha King’s order. I couldn’t say no.”
Her tears hit his shoulder, so hot that they made his whole body tense.
Terrence felt awful in a way he couldn’t even describe. He’d been miserable this whole time, not just because Victoria had become someone else’s Luna, but because his mother and family had all believed be was dead and mourned him for so long. His mother had even fallen ill and only recently started to recover.
He kept telling himself some things were out of his hands. But in the end, he still felt like he’d let bis family down.
He wanted to make it right, but he couldn’t even go back to living the way he used to. Even at home, he stayed wound tight hike he was still working as a scout. Night after night, he couldn’t sleep, his chest constantly heavy. That was why he’d come here, just to get a little quiet.
And now, Victoria’s accusations made it feel like he’d failed someone else too.
In the end, all he could say was, “I’m sorry. I failed you.”
Victoria let out a cold, tearful laugh. “Why do you think you’re the one who failed me? You think: don’t measure up to Sara don I you? Sara waited for William…”
Terrence shook his head quickly. “I’ve never thought that. I’ve never compared you to anyone. Everyone’s different. And you didn’t make the wrong choice. You like being around people If you’d stayed alone your whole life because of me, I’d feel even worse. Cr

the one who let you down.”

“Then why would you think that you came back a hero. Everyone’s talking about you. Why would you feel like you owe me anything?”
Pain filled Terrence’s eyes.
That was exactly the problem. Hero. The center of attention. That was what weighed or him the most. He didn’t want any of it. In his eyes, reclaiming Vagen wasn’t just Cottontail’s achievement. They had only done a small part. But Vaughn had still named him Third Cavalry Commander, while the ones who had truly fought and bled for Vagen hadn’t been rewarded anywhere near as much.
And he couldn’t turn it down.
