Skylar's POV
I was taken aback by Aveline's question. My lips parted in shock. "You know?"
"Of course. The way you looked at each other explained everything." Aveline said.
Kate gasped. "Our Luna had a ex boyfriend in our pack?"
I chuckled. "He was my first love. At least I thought he was. We were together for years."
Aveline raised an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing as she leaned in slightly. "And what happened?"
"He heard I was Alpha's mate and he ran away… disappeared from my life without a goodbye. I tried to reach out to him but um… he ignored me."
Kate looked between us, wide-eyed, clearly eager for the gossip. "So he broke your heart?"
I shook my head with a small, bitter smile. "I would not blame him." I paused. "I had to make a choice—my family's protection or him."
"And you chose family?" Aveline's voice softened, almost sympathetic now.
