I watched Erica leave and my heart sank. I wanted her to stay. I wanted to go after her but I knew that that would only push her away even further.

I bit my lip in anger and slammed my fist on the desk. I was about to lash out even more when I heard the door open.

“Alpha, the head of the council is back and he made an appoint…”

"Cancel it. I don't want to see him, Robert.”

My Beta stood at the door and looked at me. I avoided his gaze and walked past him, out of the meeting hall.

I wasn't going to go downstairs....
