Chapitre 726: Always You… Only You

Ashleigh swallowed and took a shaky breath.

“I’m sorry…” she whispered.

She knew he would be disappointed. She knew if their roles had been reversed and she had been lost instead. Coming back and finding out that Caleb had abandoned his duties as Alpha would have disappointed and infuriated her.

How could he not be disappointed?

“I’m sorry,” she said again, “I couldn’t do it… I tried to stay... I tried to find a way to move forward like everyone else, but… I couldn’t.”

Hot tears ran down her cheeks.

“Fiona tried to get me involved. She tried to teach me about being Luna… for two months, I tried to listen. I tried to learn and to do what needed to be done… but it was too much.”

Ashleigh let out a sob and pulled away from Caleb.

“It was too much, Caleb…” she whispered. “I wasn’t ready before you disappeared. How could I possibly be ready when you were gone?”

Caleb took a step toward her, but she turned with angry tears.
