Chapter Sixteen

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

KOLE’S POV

“How could you do something like that?” Kierra asks me, horrified.

She’s looking at me like I’m a monster and I can’t blame her.

“I ask myself that every single day,” I say. “And I still don’t have an answer. There is no good answer.”

“I just… I can’t…” Tears form as she tries to scramble for words and I feel awful for making her feel this way.

I feel even worse about what happened to my pack. How could I do something like that to them?

“I’m the reason they’re dead,” I admit, as everything within me hardens so I can face this.

It’s difficult to admit to, but it’s the truth. And I deserve the pain this will bring me. I deserve every last bit of it.

I know Kierra is going to leave me. Anyone would leave me after that, but especially her. Especially considering her pack was also murdered.

I should’ve stayed away from her. This is only going to cause us both so much pain.
