Book 2 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – An Alpha’s Promise

Ryan

I replay the words in my head through all hours of the night and the day. I hear my voice telling my mate, my beautiful, strong mate, that I would protect her. I should have carried through with that but I couldn’t have anticipated anyone wanted to bring her harm. Jessica was banished and far to weak and pathetic to carry out this attack on my mate. I killed Jacob, knowing he wouldn’t be trusted alive.

I thought I did everything I was supposed to. I thought she was safe.

I thought wrong.

My Luna is missing now, somewhere taken against her will, while my warriors were killed or wounded in the process. It’s a terrible tragedy, a horrid outcome that frustrates me to no end. I should have had her by my side that night to meet with the elders, or had forbid her to leave the palace, but she is headstrong, and I let her roam when I should have kept her within arms reach.
