Clementine:
Silence settled over us after I told them everything about that night. Troy slid away, staring out the window. I knew he was going through a lot, and I truly felt bad for him. He had been so close to becoming a crowned Alpha, and they had stolen that chance from him.
It just showed how unfair it was having too many mates meant some were bound to be neglected, and then things like this happened with the stepmothers. It was heartbreaking.
"Hey man, are you okay?" Haiden finally broke the silence, reaching out to touch Troy's elbow. Troy turned to look at us. His cheeks were clean now, but it was clear he had shed some serious tears.
"I know they took your chance of becoming Alpha from you that night," Haiden murmured, giving him a sad look.
"No, that's not the only thing they took from me, Haiden.
"They took my friend from me," Troy finally spoke, his voice shaky.
