NORA His voice is still in my head. The coldness of it. The way it cut through me on that field like I was nothing. I was wrong about him. Again. I thought he was different. I hoped he'd come around eventually. He said things that first week that made me think maybe. Maybe this one sees me properly or maybe this one isn't Kael. Wrong. How ironic. He puts everything before the mate bond. Duty. Pack. Rules. Always. Five days ago while I was in that hospital bed he was warm. Attentive. Present. Now he's back to this and I don't know what I did or when it changed. Maybe Iris got to him. Maybe pushing back against her was one thing too many. Maybe just me having an opinion was the problem. These thoughts are filling my head as I walk through the pack grounds. Snow is coming down. Cold
