MARIA
I sat on the hard floor of Diego's office, holding my stinging face in my palms while tears poured down my swollen cheeks like a waterfall.
I couldn't stop the tears, as guilt riddled me. Diego wasn't wrong, I was greedy, thirsty, and ready to sacrifice anything just to be seen again.
But then, I shook my head, affirming to myself, "I am not a bad mother. I just need to do what's best."
However, I had just sold my daughter to a vile Alpha, for status. The morning I had agreed to the deal, Davina and I had just had a huge fight while she stormed to school.
The words he had said to me, like a threat it unearthed the deep secrets I kept inside.
"The prophecy…" He said, and I was up on my feet, staring at him with wide eyes. "The child you had almost killed you. And her father? He couldn't even look you in the eye when he realized who she was."
"The crazy wolf," I muttered, as a tear slipped down my face.
