David's POV
"Your mother?? How?"
"It's simple really, she mated with my father as she needed to create a royal bloodline. My father was Prince Joshua Roberts. She showed me the past. I was kept hidden as you read about in different books to try and keep me safe. By being the abused member of the pack, no one suspected I was actually a Princess. Though when I mate, I'll be the wolf Queen so there's that. It's all a cliche but it's now my reality. enough with the backstory though. Are we going to discuss the business at hand or not?"
I could not believe it... the Angel I knew and loved seemed to be gone. This was just... It was just a bad dream... it had to be....
Angelica's POV
I was waiting for him to say the words I was expecting. I know the war is with his pack. If not directly then they become part of it. But time seemed to drag as he was processing everything.
"As the reigning King, I deem this an act of war... however as your mate... I find this all fitting."
"So are we at war or are we not?"
"Are you still the Angel I fell in love with?"
"I don't know honestly. I have had to harden myself."
"I will give you an answer in a few day's time. I need to process everything I have heard today."
"David, should we go to war, I will reject you as my mate and set you free."
"Why?"
"You know why. We cannot go to war as mates. It will only cause more harm to the bond and the cause."

Dear Angel,
I know it would be easy for you if I was the monster my past makes me appear to be. Please, allow me to explain it... My father was a drunk. He would drink from the moment he was awake until he passed out each night. He would physically attack my mother, Sue, and myself. He is the reason my mother died. He hit her so hard... he wouldn't stop... he literally beat her to death. He then turned to me because I witnessed it. I grabbed the cast iron skillet (the closest thing to me) and hit him with it. I ran out of fear. When he came to, he saw Sue and tried to rape her. She looks just like mom and he refused to acknowledge what he did. If I hadn't come in when I did... Sue would be in worse condition... I stopped him before he could actually penetrate her. I killed my father that night but if I hadn't, I fear Sue and I would join our mother in death. Please understand my past does not define me. I would gladly spend the rest of my life proving to you that I am not my past.
Love always,
David
