Darren.
When the news reached me that Maria had left the pack with Noah, it felt like every drop of blood in my body had suddenly turned cold.
For a brief moment, I couldn't even process it.
She left?
Just like that?
My jaw tightened, my fists clenching at my sides as the weight of it settled in. A part of me wanted to demand answers, to question every single detail, to understand how things had spiraled this far, but I knew better.
There was no one to ask, no one who would give me the truth I needed and even if there was… it wouldn't change the fact that she was gone.
So instead of wasting time chasing questions, I focused on what mattered.
I had to return to my pack.
I had to think and strategize because whatever was happening… it was far from over.
As for Patricia…A scoff almost escaped my lips at the thought of her.
