"Maya would never!"
Winnie believed these words with all her heart, but one glance at Alpha Keenan and she could tell he didn't. In fact, he looked at her with pity.
"Get some rest, Winnie. You need it."
"Alpha Keenan. You can't—Where is she?" She asked instead. That was more important.
"By tomorrow, she won't bring us any trouble again."
"What are you talking about? She didn't do it. I don't know what Alaina said or what was in the letter, but Maya would not. She was the one who was betrayed here. How would she do this when she was going to tell you—"
"That's enough, Winnie. Shouldn't you be with your mate who almost died because of the woman you are fighting so hard for?"
It was like talking to a stone wall. Winnie felt tears bite at the corners of her eyes. He was closed off. There was nothing she could say about Maya that would reach him.
So close.
