Freya hesitated for a few seconds, ultimately deciding not to leave. Jonas looked a little drunk. His furrowed brow and glassy eyes made it obvious he’d had too many, and his shirt was a wrinkled mess. His voice was hoarse as he spoke softly, "I'm sorry... for what happened back then. I had just returned to the pack territory. I didn’t know Beta Matt had abandoned you. If I had known..." Freya cut him off immediately. "It’s fine, Alpha Jonas. The past is in the past." Even three years later, those memories were still raw. Whenever Freya thought about that time, a wave of pain would wash over her. It was all still so crystal clear. She didn't want to dwell on the past anymore. All she wanted now was to end everything with Niklaus and start over. Freya checked her watch.
