It was funny considering that I’d trained my whole life for war. I knew what was expected of me very early. I was learning to fight as I was learning to stand. My father was a lowly palace guard, and my mother was the Queen’s handmaid and best friend. They knew that if I was ever going to get anything done with my life, I’d have to be better than anyone who stood in my path.

I prided myself on having everything right, on being the best fucking Beta in the world. People heard my name and fucking shivered. I’d never even considered the thought of running away… until Scarlett.

With her, all my

battle knowledge seemed to disappear. She was a fight that I knew I would never win. In the last century, I hadn’t lost a single battle and I didn’t know how to handle that, so I ran.

I ran over a year ago and I ran now. I snuck out of the room, ignoring the feel of her eyes searing into my back. I didn’t go far though; despite my cowardice, I couldn’t bring myself to stay far away from her. I needed to make sure I was close by if anything were to happen to her.

“I don’t see why you don’t just tell her,” my lycan hissed. “She wants you.”

“She doesn’t know what she wants. She’s a child.”

He snorted. “She hasn’t been a child in almost a century.”

“She’s a child compared to me,” I corrected and he laughed sarcastically.

“You’re barely twenty years older than her, get off your fucking high horse. You’re scared.”

“I’m not-”

“I’m in your head,” he said blandly. “You can’t lie to me. I know exactly what you feel because it’s the same fucking thing that I feel. Just tell her the truth. If she rejects you then it is her choice. Don’t make the choice for her.”

I shook my head. “She deserves better. She deserves a life that I can’t offer her.”

He groaned in frustration but didn’t say a word.

It wasn’t the first time we’d have this conversation. We’d spoken about it multiple times over the past ten years but nothing he said would change my mind.

I was already a teenager when she was born. I watched her grow up for fucks sake. It was weird and wrong that

I was attracted to her. I remembered coming back from college and having her run after us, trying to replicate the things she saw us doing.

Sure that was over a century ago but it still felt… odd.

From my spot in the shadows, I saw Kai walk out of the room and head down the hall. He didn’t notice me, but then again, he wasn’t looking.

Suspicion crawled up my inside when I realized that the girls were alone. Perhaps it was the masochist in me, but I wanted to know if she’d bring me up to Daisy. If there was anyone Scarlett trusted, it was Daisy. In lycan years, Daisy was an infant, but she was wise enough in her own regard.

The moment I got to the door, I knew I wasn’t supposed to be there. The first thing I heard was Daisy say something about Scarlett being with another man and I saw fucking red.

I had no claim over her. After all, I’d refused to be with her for years, but the thought of another man getting to see her, to love her, it filled my mouth with a bitter taste. I was about to storm in when I heard a sentence that shattered my life forever.

At first, I wondered if I’d heard correctly. Then I began to do the math and I cursed, my head falling forward.

A month ago, I was still in the Northern pack, but there was a day. We had one of our arguments again and she made a stupid threat about finding a male to settle down with. I shifted and ran all the way back home. When I stormed into her house, she sat cross legged on the couch sipping a cup of tea.

We didn’t leave the house for two whole days.

I never told Kai. He would have killed me if he knew I left the pack abandoned for a chance to fuck his cousin.

Before I could stop myself, I was pushing the door open. “Daisy, I need you to leave.”

She looked between Scarlett and I, her eyes wary and distrusting. “No, I’m not-”

“I have the utmost respect for you as my Luna and my friend,” I began slowly. “But get the fuck out, now.”

The last part came out more as a growl, and even she must have realized just how dangerous it was to remain because she stood to her feet slowly, whispered something to Scarlett and walked out.

I couldn’t focus.

I’d never given thought to having children. It was part of the reason I never made things official with Scarlett. She deserved the pickett fence dream, and I wasn’t sure if I was able to give it to her.

Hearing that she was pregnant… with my child.

I scoffed.

I never thought it possible to grieve something I didn’t know existed but that child… if they’d survived. If I’d

known-

“What would you have done?” my lycan snapped. “You can’t even do right by her.”

“Shut up!”

I slammed my wall in place and focused on Scarlett who hadn’t moved from the bed.

“Before you ask, I didn’t know,” she mumbled softly, her eyes welling with tears.
