“No.”
“Don’t lie to me. The last time you held it like that, you collapsed.”
“It doesn’t hurt, I swear.”
“Then why are you holding it?”
“It’s….It’s nothing.” I didn’t want to tell him that the scar was a reminder of how weak I was. It was going to be a permanent reminder of my weakness. Bruises fade, smaller wounds heal, but this would be there forever. A constant reminder that even though the blood tie was broken, I was still mated to Beta Kyle. Yet even when he dies, it will still be there. A reminder of the horrible life I had.
His crimson eyes narrow as his brow creases into a frown. He leans back in his chair, studying me when I don’t explain myself.
“Scars will fade over time. It won’t always be so prominent.”
How could he know what I was thinking? Or was it that obvious?
“You should look at it as a survivor's wound.” He continues.
“A survivor’s wound?” It wasn’t something that was on my radar at all.
He nods at me. “It caused you a great deal of pain and suffering. But look at you, standing in front of me, probably looking the healthiest you have in years. You survived, Neah. You may not think it, but deep down, you are a fighter.”
He had such high hopes and time will show him just how wrong he is. The only person I’ve ever really wanted to kill is Beta Kyle. Other than that, I wasn’t a fighter.
When there was no news of any more beasts in the forest, Alpha Dane told me I didn’t need to stay in the office any longer and that I was free to explore.
Standing at the open front door, I watch the snow start to fall, little white wispy flakes blow around and there were already children running around trying to catch the flakes on their tongues.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
