My mate, Richard Sterling, the Alpha of Frostveil Pack, put a baby in front of me. It was the child of his lost love, Rose Whitmore, who'd died in a battle. He didn't bother with pleasantries. "You can either raise Rose's baby or reject the bond. Your choice." I held his gaze and chose to reject the bond without a moment's hesitation. He thought I was acting out, that I'd come back begging once I cooled down. Three days later, I left my own three -month-old pup behind and slipped out of Blackwood, our pack territory. Word later reached me that Richard, the great Pack Alpha, never took another mate, never sired another pup.
