CHAPTER 66 A Formidable, Stunning Woman

  Ethan

  My heart aches profoundly each time Autumn chooses to walk away from me. I am consumed with regret, knowing that I am willing to fall to my knees for her love, despite my promise never to love anyone for fear that it could destroy everything I hold dear. As a child, my feelings were often overshadowed and dismissed, and I vowed never to let that happen again.

  I long to focus solely on myself, and my pack, and ensuring their safety. Yet, my wolf, Blaze, is wounded. He suffers as I struggle to deny these overwhelming emotions, a denial that is slowly killing me inside. The pain is deep, and it crushes my spirit to see Autumn behaving as though she never confessed her love for me. It wounds me more than I can bear.
