Most of us left willingly, but two of my Packmates died fighting one another. I’ve been looking for a Pack with a strong leader ever since, and Venice tells me you are strong and can stomp out weakness.”

“Tawny, I-“ Nova licked at her lips, feeling very panicked. “I was going to tell you. I didn’t know how - I didn’t want you to suffer through anything I had to. I love you. I-“ “Don't you dare say you love me!” Tawny snarled, her green eyes lit with rage. “You /lied/ to me. You made me stay here knowing my father lived close by. You let me believe I was your daughter. You told /Lacey and Magnus/ before you told me?”

Nova dropped into her belly, guilt and fear making her desperate. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m proud of-“ “You’re not allowed to be proud of me!” Tawny stared at her as if she was a stranger she wasn’t fond of.
