waited for him."
My voice hardened as memories of my daughter's disappointment flooded back. "Everything he's experiencing
now is a consequence of his actions."
"He made us wait countless times - for birthday parties he never attended, for promises he never kept, for love
he never gave." The pain in my chest intensified.
"Most importantly, he made Lily wait for a father who never came. She died waiting for him at that amusement
park."
Mom's eyes filled with tears at the mention of her granddaughter. "You're right, sweetheart. He has no right to
expect your forgiveness."
"I harbor only hatred for Ethan," | continued, my wolf snarling within me. "A hatred stemming from his role in
Lily's death. That's an act | can never forgive as both mother and mate."
The mate bond might still exist between us, but it was poisoned by grief and betrayal. No amount of waiting or
flowers could change that.
Mom heard this and fell asleep quickly after closing her eyes, finally at peace with her decision.
