A year ago, Linda came to me, crying and pleading for help. She had just lost her parents and now she had no one to help her. My heart had melted in sympathy, and I supported her by giving her a place to stay, food and other necessary things she would need.
Zane had been preoccupied with pack matters that time,, but Linda’s presence had attracted his attention. He had taken interest in her recovery, always checking on her, and always making sure she had anything she needed.
At first, I had assumed that it was because of his role as Alpha to protect all pack members, but it kept getting worse. Zane constantly blew me off to spend time with her, claiming that he was trying to be there for her.
I opened her status again to see that she had added more pictures of the two of them together. In one of the pictures, Zane was carrying Linda in his arms with a broad smile that I hadn’t seen in years. The caption read: ~My Alpha, my hero [heart emoji].~
Determination settled in my mind as I switched off my phone. I threw away all the potions and herbs that the pack healers had given us when I couldn't get pregnant. Then I headed back to the pack clinic to get an abortion.
