Arabella simply sighed and lowered her head. "I was just too sad, you know. Lyra was never there when I needed her the most, and with Enzo dying, everything became overwhelming. The thought of transforming and having things become easier for me when Enzo wasn't getting any better just made me feel bad. I couldn't understand how I was supposed to enjoy having my Lycan back when the person I loved was lying there unable to wake up."
Sophia nodded her head in understanding, listening carefully as Arabella explained how she had felt throughout those difficult years.
She pulled Arabella into a hug, and they remained that way for a while, each lost in her own thoughts. Sophia understood that Arabella had suffered more than most people could imagine, but she also knew that holding on to her anger toward Lyra would not change what had happened.
"You know you would have to forgive Lyra, right?" Sophia asked gently.
Arabella remained quiet, so Sophia continued.
