Anna's POV
I fold my legs beneath me and press my hands against my knees. My head sinks into them as loud, ugly sobs escape my throat. I can’t stop crying. My heart feels like it weighs a hundred tons, sinking deeper into an abyss of guilt and fear. Why? Why did I hit Piper?
Look at what I’ve done now.
What if she doesn’t wake up?
What if she ends up like my brother—silent, still, gone forever?
What if Alpha Dylan throws me out of his mansion? Where would I even go? I have no home. No one waiting for me. Nobody wants me. Not even my parents. They made that very clear the day they abandoned me like I was trash.
And Beta Chris... I can already imagine him sending someone after me. Or worse—doing it himself. If I leave here, I’m as good as dead. Maybe... maybe Goddess Ivanka was right.
