15:17knife off the wall and stormed out pack members scattered the moment they saw me my scent was pure
15:22murder they hit the ground heads down not one of them daring to look up i kicked elena's door clean
15:27off its hinges the comb slipped from her fingers and clattered to the floor simus what are you doing
15:33i crossed the room in two strides and pressed the blade to her throat where is my mate what are

16:14alpha the coffin is empty nothing inside but stones i turned slowly my blood red eyes locked onto elena

16:40you throw her away like she was trash the rotwood forest the stench of decay hit us before we even
16:46reached the tree leaf my guards gap a few doubled over and vomited onto the dead leaves i smelled nothing
16:51i felt nothing i threw myself into the pit of corpses i clawed through the filth with my bare hands
16:59rotting flesh stuck to my fingers jagged bones sliced my palms open but i didn't feel a thing
17:05alpha stop let us search you can't do this i shove him off get away we dug from dawn until
17:13the last light
17:14bled across the horizon and then i saw it in a dark corner half buried beside a pile of fresh
17:19kills was a
17:20scrap of pale blue fabric her flannel shirt the one i gave her last winter the cloth was torn to
17:26shreds
17:27soaked with mud and blood but there were no bones no body i collapsed to my knees in that sea
17:33of death
17:33clutching the stained fabric to my chest after back my head and how liam and the guards dropped to their
17:39knees as one when i finally returned to the pack house i gave my final order strip elena of the
17:45luma
17:45title throw her in the silver cells and let her rot three years passed the elders had backed me into
17:52the
17:52council hall again alpha a pack cannot stand without its luna she is its heart we need an air i
18:01stared at
18:01the polished surface of the table my mate is dead there will be no new luna elder thomas swallowed hard
18:08but pressed on we all mourn her alpha but she is gone you are our leader you have a duty
18:16to this pack
18:16i snatched the list of potential from his hand and hurled it across the room the next person who
18:22dares say the word luna to me gets their throat ripped out personally i stalked out of the hall and
18:28went to her room i kept it exactly as she'd left it the pack mates cleaned it daily but nothing
18:32was ever
18:32moved her soft blue blanket was still draped over a cushion beside it lay a half-read novel the corner
18:38of the page curled up from her habit of chewing on it when she was lost in thought it was
18:43as if she
18:43just stepped out for a walk as if she might return at any moment a week later long after midnight
18:48liam entered my office he said a cup of hot broth on my desk and spoke quietly behind me alpha
18:53it's late
18:54you really should get some rest liam do you think she hated me she should have every single time
19:00i chose elena over her when she was poisoned i didn't believe her when they threw her in the pit
19:05i stood by and watched her friend died because of me and i never even asked what happened that last
19:09time on the tower i wanted to choose her i know i did but the name i called out it
19:14was still elena's
19:15alpha i think she cared for you it's just i wish she had hated me hate is a feeling liam
19:22at least then i would know she still felt something for me at all
