| sat for a second, staring off to the side. "No, daddy | didn't like him. I loved him, as stupid and reckless as it
was. | was stupid enough to fall in love with him." I looked back and | felt the tear, so | quickly swatted it away.
"But he was always honest with me.
If it was his choice...he would have chosen me. But he had to work with his wolf, who was in love with someone
else."
My father growled. "He's a dumbass."
"Not really." He looked at me. "His wolf was in love with Nix, but we were both too stupid to realize it. Our wolves
were in love
and so were we. But there was never any crossover, so we didn't know." | rubbed my forehead. "And when | was
forced into a
heat, he refused to help."
My dad was silent. "Rowan is saving himself for his mate."
I nodded. "He is."
My dad then growled. "He could have helped you."

| sighed. "I thought that too at the time." | wiped away another tear. "I hated him for a ling tbecause it was
just that simple.
He could have helped me." | turned to look at my dad. "But if you were an honest man, one | know you are. If
you were in love
with the wolf that was in heat in front of you. And she was throwing herself at you. Would you have been able to
resist?"
My dad met my eyes, and | saw he was considering it. "So say if you mom wasn't my fated mate, just a wolf |
loved, and she was in her first heat, beggingto help. Are you askingif | could have held back?" | nodded.
He considered it for a second. "Not a
fucking chance."
I nodded. "It tooka while, but | cto the sconclusion. | was everything he said he wanted in a mate. |
just wasn't his mate. And | was begging him to help me." | dropped my head into his hands. "And if he would
have helped me, | know deep in my heart, eventually, if | ever met my fated. | would regret it, and him. And |
would have resented him."
My dad whistled. "That is a lot to think about."
| nodded. "And he did it in a second. He tore himself away and stayed away." | sighed but looked at him, realizing
Thoth had
joined back when | wasn't paying attention. "Rowan savedthat day, and | hated him for it, but | understand it
now. | just wish I could help him now." Then | turned to my dad. "And to your original question...yeah | do. But
does it even matter?" | sighed.
"What are you two talking about?" Thoth's voice cut through my pity fest.
"It doesn't matter." | smiled. "Just wishful thinking."
My dad put his head in his hands but stayed silent. Thoth coughed once. "Sorry about that. But you were being
taken to a cell."
I nodded. "Yeah, they tossedin, and | had to rebuild my power, so | used it to gather information."
"What did you learn?" Thoth asked after my dad stayed silent as he stared atwith sad eyes.
"Not much. Rick woke up one day with the brand, Vince's way of controlling him after he tried to turn him against
my dad, but

failed. He was still going to let himself die, but then Vince infected his daughter. Rick wasn't the bad guy. And he
gavea plan to get out. | just had to wait until Vince bectoo obsessed with me."
"How did he not recognize you?" Thoth asked and then he knocked on his desk. "You were running as your wolf
and not Nix, weren't you?"
"Bingo." | smiled. "Vince, for sreason, loved Megan." A growled cfrom my lips and | chuckled. "A fact
she doesn't like
one bit." | shook my head. "Brandon cin to tauntthe last day. He thought
he could scare me, but | never found him to be a
threat. Not even when | couldn't shift."
"You couldn't shift?" Thoth questioned. "When?"
"In my first life. | never shifted. | didn't even know | had Megan."
His voice was soft. "That must have been hard."
| laughed. "Being a luna who couldn't shift was. But I'm not that woman anymore."
| turned to my dad, who was still staring at me. "Why are you so quiet?"
My dad stared atfor another minute and sighed. "I'm just thinking."
"About what?" | tilted my head.
"That | might have messed up." He straightened when | just lifted my brow. "Why do you say that?"
He counteredwith a question. "Why do you say you and Rowan weren't mates?"
| froze. "Because we weren't."
My dad leveledwith a look. "Baby girl...you have kept you true scent hidden
since you were eighteen, and he has since he was
a child."
