Lost Daughter of the Denhurst Pack

I walked away from Emma before I weakened and agreed to stay. Shifting as soon as I reached the woods, I ran, leaving my heart behind with her.


It was a good thing our love making had been interrupted. It would have been much harder to leave her if we had joined our bodies as our souls were already joined.

Emma didn’t seem to notice the disgust in some of the elder’s eyes when they looked at me. But I did. 


Many of them wanted me to see the look of hatred on their faces. They wanted to remind me that it was my father’s fault the pack had dissolved.
