Brandon's words reach my ears, but they seem to float around me, making no sense. He still loves me. I know I should snap myself out of it, but his confession reignites a flutter in my heart. It shouldn't, because he's already made his choices, but somehow it brings closure. Then he begs to meet Ivan, as if he can't bear to be without him. My heart aches for Ivan - he already has a father, and who am I to make that decision for him? What if he resents me later? And then Brandon mentions Lucy finding a mate and my heart stops. Literally stops. The pack senses something is wrong and a howl echoes through the wind, getting closer and closer. We are an unbreakable bond, connected through the earth, forest, and soul. We are one. And that means he can feel all the emotions swirling inside
