Feeling Betrayed

Callum's steps made the wolf beside her watch his feet like he wanted Callum to back away further from them. "If I challenge Ethan.. That's it. Right? We cut the link; you'll become an official rogue again," Callum said, his eyes flicking between her and Marcus warily, his guard still up. 

"That's what I want," Esme replied, locking his eyes in place. "Do what needs to be done and end this."

Callum nodded, then glanced behind them. "Go. We aren't stopping you," Esme assured him before turning her back on him, ending the conversation. 

"I wish you the best, Es and.. I'm sorry for everything.. My regrets and that guilt will forever remain with me," Callum said dismally. She didn't respond, neither wanting to as she let his words go over her. 

Esme heard the Beta shift and run away, making her sigh and shake her head before sending him a mind-link. "I accept your apology. But I cannot forgive you."
