Open 14.41 % Chapter 8 I knew nothing of the chaos unfolding in the White Moon Pack . Since leaving , I'd brought my girls to Cindale - a place where the sun always shone , where winter never came . Where my precious snowflakes would never have to shiver again . For a month , peace had settled over me like a warm blanket . Today , as I polished the frames holding my daughters ' photos , a sharp knock shattered the silence . I opened the door - and there he was . Blake Wilder , Alpha of the White Moon Pack , fell to his knees on my porch . " Lena , " his voice cracked . " I've come to bring you and the girls home . " I moved to slam the door . His palm shot out , blocking it . " Please . Just let me speak to you . " My fingers tightened on the doorknob . " There's nothing left to say . " Seeing my hesitation , he straightened slightly . " I'm not leaving without you . The bond - breaking deal - I never signed them . You're till my Luna . Come home . " I looked down at this broken man who'd once been my whole world . " Home ? " A hollow laugh escaped me . " To watch you fuck Hannah messing up in our bed ? To wipe her sweat after your mating sessions ? Or perhaps you want me to help her nurse her pup - is that it ? Is that what you want ? You've got no heart ! " Blake flinched as if struck . " No ! I made her terminate the pregnancy . We're done . I'll be faithful , I swear- " And that erases everything ? " My voice turned deadly quiet . " Her aborted fetus somehow undoes my daughters ' deaths ? Their tiny bodies are cold under the ground - do they magically breathe again because you dumped your mistress ? " Tears fell freely now , splashing onto his outstretched hands . He jerked back as if scalded . " Lena , please understand- " " They were your flesh and blood ! " I screamed . " You signed their death warrants ! And now you stand here begging forgiveness ? " Blake's face went ashen . When he spoke again , his voice was raw . " I'm sorry . " The absurdity of it punched a laugh from my throat . " Sorry ? " 1 echoed . " You think that changes anything ?
