Alpha

That night six years ago was when I learned what betrayal was. When those I trusted destroyed what I’d come to love. I ran that night, leaving everything behind, leaving her behind. But when your Alpha’s son, when you have his blood in your veins, no matter how fast or how far you run, you’re never really out. I was a fool to ever think I was.

She had every right to know the truth about the night her family was murdered, but I couldn’t give it to her. She didn’t belong in our world, we were monsters. And as powerful as the urge to claim her was, she couldn’t belong to me. I’d do whatever it took to keep her from ever finding out what I really was, what really happened that night, because if she did, she’d hate me. I could live with blood on my hands. I could exist without her if it meant keeping her safe. I just couldn’t live knowing she hated me. Aria I guess he thought I’d leave the past alone. Forget it and walk away, like he had.
