FLASHBACK
"He is a hybrid."
Kira's eyes narrowed. "A hybrid? What do you mean by that?"
Sasha blew her nose into the napkin and sniffled. She had nothing left to lose now. If Kira could show her mercy in the lowest moment of her life, then there was no harm in telling her the rest.
She was going to prison regardless. And if there was a single person in this pack with enough compassion to look after her son once she was gone, it would be the woman sitting across from her.
"My parents forced me into a loveless marriage at twenty," Sasha said. "Even though I was already bound to someone else."
Kira's eyes widened, just slightly. This sounded far too much like her own story.
"My husband was a promising gamma. Good family, plenty of money, the right fit on paper. But I never loved him, and he knew it. So he hit me. Then he blamed me for making him do it."
"He used to tell me I was nothing, that I should be grateful, that he was the one who saved me from being nothing."
