She consistently wore an oversized shirt and trousers; furthermore, individuals either avoided or bullied her due to the incident involving Callum’s parents. Their parents perished while defending her from a rogue attack several years prior.
Despite being instructed to remain within the pack house, she exited, prompting his parents to prioritise her rescue. They were killed due to losing focus during the confrontation.
I have since evaded her presence. I observe that Callum is not comfortable with Callie. She is frail and consistently requires safeguarding.
On that day, I made the most regrettable decision of my life. I declined my companion and caused her distress.
Upon discovering her departure from the pack, I felt apprehensive. What if she encountered harm due to her departure and subsequent descent into rogue behaviour? I instructed her to refrain from engaging with me, yet I did not anticipate her departure from the group.
Asher remains angry with me to this day. Since the loss of Rylee, he has evaded communication with me for the past two years. He emerges solely in life-and-death situations, particularly when fulfilling Alpha responsibilities to protect the pack; otherwise, he no longer communicates with me. I have felt adrift for the past two years without my wolf for support. That is also the reason I requested Mark’s assistance with my pack.
He possesses the finest warriors capable of assisting my people. I was unaware that Callie is now a member of his pack.
With Callie’s return, I gradually sense his presence. He conveys his desire to communicate with Rylee Callie.
Regarding Callie, I observed the extent of her transformation.
I must confess, she has become the partner I envisioned, yet I feel a sense of shame regarding my actions towards her. I believe I no longer merit her affection.
“You must feel considerable shame, Spencer.”
“I lost my companion for two years due to you,” Asher stated.
Ultimately, he conversed with me.
“I apologise, Asher; I recognise that my actions were inappropriate, and I cannot alter the past.”
Indeed, you are unable to. On that day, I empathised with her anguish; my companion Rylee is profoundly devastated. I requested to be released to speak with her, but you disregarded my plea and engaged with another woman. Since that day, you have persisted in engaging with the females in this group. Asher is now expressing his anger towards me, stating, ‘They are repulsive, much like you.’ “I can sense his power.” “Let us proceed, mate,” he stated.
Indeed, you witnessed the earlier incident; I attempted to converse with her, but she was irate with me.
I disapprove of my friend conversing with that individual. Asher stated.
I also perceive that Callie is near him. I disapprove of his behaviour in her presence.
I observed that matter from the outset. He exhibits excessive protectiveness towards Callie. Do they possess a relationship? Upon rejecting her, I severed the bond I held with her. I was uncertain whether she engaged in flirtation with another individual subsequent to her departure from the group.
I was engrossed in thought when I heard a knock on my office door.
“Enter.””
Callum entered my office.
“Alpha, may I pose a question?””
“Certainly, proceed.”
“What prompted Callie’s reaction upon seeing you earlier?” Is there information I should be aware of? To my knowledge, you both share a close relationship. It altered upon the demise of my parents. The events that transpired earlier are troubling me.
It appears I can no longer conceal the truth from Callum. He will ascertain the truth within the forthcoming days. It would be preferable for him to receive an account of past events from me. He is my closest companion and my Beta. I cannot afford to lose him as well.
“I apologise for conveying this information to you at this moment.” Callie is my companion, and the day she departed from the pack was the day I repudiated her.”
He was evidently astonished by my remarks. He steps back several times.
“You are Callie’s partner, and you spurned her?” What is the reason?
“Due to my lack of intelligence.”
“Indeed, you are!” She is your friend, Spencer; how could you treat her that way? Her departure from the pack was due to you.
I became angry with him because he is behaving as though he has committed no wrongdoing, placing all blame on me.
“Do not feign innocence regarding the events that transpired; recall that you evaded your
sister and allowed others to bully her. Do not feign innocence here, Callum; we are aware that you are anything but. “
“We are indeed friends; we both caused Callie pain, and now we are foolishly conversing here, assigning blame for the transgressions we have inflicted upon her.”
“I am uncertain how to regain Callie; observe her, she has changed.” She audaciously retorts, displaying indifference to my status as the Alpha.
I stated.
“We cannot hold her accountable; that was the consequence of our detrimental actions towards her.”
“You are correct,” I concurred.
We found ourselves in a predicament when Allison abruptly entered my office in haste.
“Alpha, Callum, -Callie,” stated Allison.
Callum and I rose simultaneously upon hearing Callie’s name.
What transpired with Callie?I enquired.
Allison stated, “Callie and Kaia are currently engaged in a conflict.”
We did not hesitate upon hearing that. We exited the pack house and hurried to the training ground in an effort to catch up with Callie and Kaia.
