Celeste POV
My heart was heavy as I walked away from the pack house.
I couldn't get the image out of my mind. Lily's face when she said she wanted to break up with Kai, the coldness in her voice when she talked about moving on with Professor Morrison. And worse, the way my mother had completely ignored me, like I was invisible, like I didn't matter at all.
Everything was falling apart. My brother was about to lose his mate because he was too stupid and stubborn to fight for her. My mother controlled everything and everyone around her, and I was so tired of trying to earn her love. And Lily, sweet, strong Lily, was giving up on the one person who was supposed to be her forever.
I walked without any direction, walking through the pack territory while my mind spun in circles. How had we gotten here? How had everything gone so wrong so fast?
