“I was there.”

The silence on his end told me he knew what I was talking about. That he had heard me. Next thing I

knew, I heard a thunder of rushed footsteps heading my way. I stayed rooted to my spot when he

emerged from the darkness. His dark hair was very similar to Maria’s from the pictures I’ve seen, bluish

green eyes identical to Bentley’s. He was a handsome man, tall and muscular with a stubble on his

face.

Dark circles rimmed around his eyes.

“Who are you?”

He asked hoarsely. I felt, rather than saw him shaking. His voice broke in the tiniest ways. The little

tremor from his words as he spoke, the misty eyes he desperately tried to control. The pain was fresh

in his heart and I had just added salt to the wound. But I had to tell him.

“I stayed at Duskfall for two months.”

I said quietly, feeling the need to explain.

“I- I worked for Bentley. I worked for your dad.”

Isaac’s eyes widened in realization and before I could even comprehend it, he smiled. A small, almost

sad smile curled on his face. His eyes lightened as he took me in from head to toe like I was some

mystic being he never believed to exist.

“So you’re her.”

He said, almost in a daze.

“You’re Selene.”

My eyebrows shot up in question. The mentor guy who was still standing there watched the exchange

with interest. Isaac didn’t seem to mind. He was fully aware of the large man standing to the side

leaning against the wall, but his focus was on me.

“Dad he- he wrote about you.”

Isaac said, clearing his throat after mentioning his father.

“Told me he met someone who got Lila to start talking more. That this ‘Selene’ was a sweet girl he

wanted me to meet.”

He laughed quietly to himself, wiping his eyes with the heel of his palm.

“I wish we could’ve met in other circumstances but I guess I’ll take what I can.”

Isaac hung his head low. No doubt feeling everything all over again. Cautiously, I reached out to touch

his face. Isaac froze, body tensing under my touch but didn’t make a move to push me away. So as

gently as I could, I slid my hand over the back of his neck and pulled him down. I pulled him lower and

lower until his head was resting on my shoulder,

“I’m so sorry.”

I whispered.

“Bentley changed my life. He and Lila and everyone in the pack gave me purpose but I- I

couldn’t do anything to help. I couldn’t even save Lila. I’m so sorry, Isane. I failed everyone. I’m so, so,

so sorry.”

Each word got remotely deeper and deeper. All the emotions I was trying to bury slipping through my

mask of indifference. Isaac remained quietly still in my embrace, I didn’t notice his trainer had left,

giving us a moment of privacy, Isaac still didn’t say anything but he slowly wrapped his arms around

me, pulling me closer as something warm began to drip down my shoulder.

“My dad… did he did he ever talk about me?”

A short laugh left me. Fragments of my memories flashing through my mind,

“All the time.”

“Was he… proud?”

Pulling from his hold, I cupped his cheeks in my hands and smiled,

“Always.”

Once Isaac had calmed down, he let me in his room. He apologized for the mess. “The mess” being

a fist. We sat on his couch which was the only piece of furniture that didn’t meet his wrat h besides the

framed photos of his family. Lila was in one of them. She was staring down, her little legs bent as she

squatted to stare at the sunflower growing from the ground.

“We took that last year.”

Isaac explained, noticing what caught my attention. I nodded and tore my gaze away. My wolf

whimpered at the thought of the little girl and slinked back into the corner of my mind. Isaac sat beside

me, his body once more hunched over with grief.

“Where are you staying now?”

He suddenly asked me. I glanced over to him before staring at the ground.

“Greyhound.”

I felt him flinch at the name. Greyhound and Duskfall were not allies but they weren’t exactly enemies.

For the most part, they were civil. They just had different views on things. Duskfall believed in voluntary

training whereas Greyhound believed in mandatory training. This meant that in Duskfall, wolves weren’t

required to undergo training unless they wanted to apply for positions. The opposite was believed in

Greyhound.

“They let you stay there?”

He asked, confusion clearly in his tone. Opposing packs hardly ever took in members from the other. I

mumbled a soft ‘yes’ before staring at him straight in the eyes. It was now or

never.

“I want you to join me.”

Isaac furrowed his eyebrows together. Confusion set in his rugged features as he shook his head.

“They won’t accept me. I’m a Gamma. I trained to be a Gamma, Selene. The current Gamma
