Chapter 105

James's POV

The morning light filtered through the trees, casting a soft glow over the forest. The stillness of the early hours was almost comforting, a sharp contrast to the turmoil in my mind. I hadn't slept, unable to shake the weight of the decision that loomed over me. Aimee's words from last night played on a loop in my head, offering solace but no clear answers.

The choice was mine, but it felt like no matter what I chose, something precious would be lost.

I took a deep breath, the cool air filling my lungs, grounding me. I had always been a person of action, someone who did what needed to be done without hesitation. But this—choosing between staying with the pack and binding myself to Demi—felt like a decision too big to make on my own.
