He found me again. And this time, he will never let me go…

Francis gave me two choices.

Return to his side, and he will leave the pack alone. Stay with them, and he will do everything in his power to make them suffer.

The choice was easy in the end…

At least no one else will have to get hurt this way.

Besides, it wouldn't be my first time down this road—heartbreak has been a constant companion in my life.

But I know that Pack Snow will go on without me; Rian, Jeremy, Leo, and Troy will find their happiness again.

They already have everything they could need. In the end, I would have just become a burden.

I know how to survive being starved, and I will find a way to live through this sacrifice, too.
