Miranda POV
Maureen hugs me like she thinks I'm going to disappear again. I breathe in her familiar scent as tears form in my eyes. This woman is like a sister to me. She is one of the strongest women I know, and I hate the pain I've seen in her eyes. "I'm so sorry Miranda" she whispers, and I stiffen in her arms. When I pull back, I stare into her familiar eyes. I not only see pain but regret.
"What the hell could you possibly be sorry about?" "I failed to protect you and Rosie. I am the Luna, and it was my job to protect the pack. To protect my best friend and my goddaughter" she says. Tears run down her cheeks and I pull her back into my embrace. "Don't you dare take ownership of the f**ked up sh*t both are mates did. I love you, Maureen. You are my sister even if we share no blood.
