章節 96: Guilt-tripping grief...

Lyla

It was nearly dusk when I arrived at the pack house and the first time I would be going home since I arrived at Blue Ridge.

I hesitated at the door, taking in a deep breath. I didn't know what to expect from my mother. Did she hate me less now?

I glanced over my shoulder at the two pack warriors Beta Jeremy had insisted I come with, their presence felt comforting alright but I knew I had to face whatever was waiting for me inside the house.

"Wait here," I managed to say to them. "I won't be long."

They nodded quietly and stood to one side of the terrace. I took another deep breath again before knocking. After a few seconds, the heavy door creaked open revealing one of the pack servants.

It was our housekeeper.

As soon as she saw me, she opened the door wider and bowed her head in greeting. "Miss Lyla."
