Jaxon
The tears start to come, unbidden, and I don’t even try to stop them. I let them fall, sliding down my face, mixing with the water running down my chest. It’s the first time I’ve felt so small. So f*****g human.
I drop to my knees, the reality of it all hitting me harder than the fight with the rogue wolves ever did. I don’t know what I am anymore. What the hell is left when you’re an Alpha who can’t even shift? When you’re bleeding and you don’t even know why?
I’m no one.
A voice from the other room calls out my name. But I can’t even respond.
I’m broken.
And I don’t know how to fix it.
Ten minutes later, the bathroom door creaks open, and I know it’s her before I even hear her footsteps.
I’m still standing under the hot spray of water, hands resting against the slick tiles
