Valerie’s POV I rushed out of the dining room, no longer caring what they thought. However, I kept my tears down until I reached the laundry room where Emily put her arms around me the instant she saw me. “Sweet Valerie, I heard what happened. I’m so sorry.” That was what I most appreciated about Emily. There was never any “I told you so” unless you deserved it, and at the moment it almost felt as if I deserved it. She gave me sweet tea, and since I just couldn’t fathom returning to the main house, she sent someone to collect my things from my room. There was no telling what Melody would do now that she was the future beta’s mate. After I calmed down, she showed me to my old room in the omega house. When she finally left me alone, I sat down on the bed and looked around the small room.
