I hadn’t slept in the past week.
Every day that Isabella wasn’t here and wasn’t marked killed me on the inside. She was doing her job, being the Lycan that she was, and trying to find my sister while I tried desperately to find some kind of trail.
For the first time in a long time, I was all alone. No mate. No sister. No family. And it was my worst fear—to have nobody that I loved and cared about with me. All I had ever asked the Moon Goddess for was a family who loved me as much as I loved them, a family I could cherish every day.
It was funny how life turned out.
No, I hadn’t wanted Isabella to leave, but I’d needed to let her go. It was the only way that I could get her to see that I really cared about her and that I valued her strength and saw beauty in it.
A sharp, piercing pain
