Capítulo 230: Book 4 : Chapter 79

Ella's POV

Luca had come by the house for what was supposed to be a brief visit to drop off groceries but he had quickly become engrossed in a game of Mario kart with my sons and judging by the screams and shouts coming from the living room, it wasn't looking like he was going anywhere any time soon.

So Max took the opportunity to leave us with him and take Milly home. He didn't say a word, or even look at me as he marched her out of the house and down the drive.

She looked back helplessly and gave me a small, teary smile as I stood from the doorstep, full of guilt. I knew my intentions to protect the pack were good but that doesn't mean it was right. Milly gave us a drop of hope that we were all too quick to snatch at before we considered the consequences and we should have listened to Max. We shouldn't have used our power as Alpha and Luna to override his wishes regarding his own kid sister.

After they'd gone, I shut the front door and stared at the wooden panels on its back.
