Ali’s POV
My head buried between my knees, my arms wrapped around my body, I stay as still as I can, barely daring to breathe, even though my mind is screaming.
Shouting.
Crying.
Hurt and betrayal washes over me in unstoppable waves of agony.
Beta Chris and Alpha Ralph’s words ring loud in my ears.
Beta Chris yelling that a rogue, me, wasn’t worth risking the entire pack…and Alpha Ralph, my mate, agreeing with him.
“You’re right…”
You’re right.
That’s what he said.
He is going to turn me over to Alpha Kace.
Sacrifice me for his pack.
I mean, I get it. I do. Really.
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt any less.
I deserve this for not being honest.
I deserve this for staying here when I knew that I should have kept going, kept putting more distance between us.
It’s my own damn faul
