---- brother to the ground. Leo's pack quickly restrained him and my brother collapsed, broken. "She's right here," Leo said, patting the urn filled with my ashes. He stomped on my brother as he muttered curses at me in anger. "Filthy she-wolf. She deserved a death more painful than this," he said. Then, with a flick of his hand, he knocked over the tiny urn. Ash burst into the air, drifting everywhere. I knew Leo hated me. But I didn't know his hatred had become so twisted and deranged. As my ashes scattered across the wind, I couldn't hold back my tears. With my body gone on my my inner wolf remained. Watching this only brought me more pain. ---- Thad loved him, greatly, for two whole years, yet this was how it ended. He finally stopped stomping on my my brother, and like some at him with disdain. "You all loved her so much? Then let your entire clan be buried with her," he said. So even in death, he hadn't let go of his obsession with destroying what was left of my family. My brother collapsed completely, sobbing uncontrollably, all pride of being the our family's heir shattered. "You'll regret this. One day, you will regret it!" He swore. "T never will," Leo answered and stepped over my ashes and left the the forest.. My brother cried like a pup, face soaked with tears and snot. The sight shot waves of pain through me. I howled in pain. "1m sorry..." whispered it to him in my heart, ---- again and again, my tears wouldn't stop. My ashes drifted far, landing on trees, mountains, rivers and oddly, on Leo. The little ashes that had stuck to him from tipping my urn, he carried back to our den. Whereever my ashes touched, I could feel my consciousness follow. Soon, I had followed Leo to our den. Our den was a villa halfway up the mountain. When we initially become each other's mates, I thought Leo had chosen this serene, scenic place to help me recover because my wolf was weak. It wasn't until I gradually lost all my links with the pack are blocked because this place is cursed by witches to sever every connection with the outside world that I realized this was part of his plan all along. A plan to isolate me. After all, I was the most pampered daughter of my family.
