But how could I? He had been so wrapped up in his responsibilities, so caught up with Selene, that I felt invisible. I couldn’t bring a child into a world where their father was more interested in another woman than in his own mate.
“Thorne, you were never there for me,” I said, my voice trembling. “You’ve been distant, and I couldn’t bear the thought of raising a son who would never know his father’s love. I did what I thought was best.”
His expression hardened. “So, you thought ending it was the answer? You thought making that choice alone was best for us?”
Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, but I held them back, unwilling to show him my pain. “You were busy with Selene, Thorne! You’ve betrayed me in ways I can’t even express. I felt like I was losing you, and I couldn’t bring a child into that kind of mess!”
“You’ve shattered our bond, Freya. This isn’t just about you. It’s about us, our pack, our legacy---"
"Really? I...shattered our bond? It was you, Thorne! You betrayed me first! I did this fearing I would be raising a child in a broken home. I didn’t want to put my child through that!"
