Jarek.
It took me approximately three hours to get all I needed done, and by the time all that was over and I was rounding up with my lawyer, I already felt weak. Too weak.
I already knew that there was no way I could get to see Leilani one more time, especially not like this.
And I knew, goddess I knew that she wouldn't forgive me so easily for what I am about to do.
My chest felt heavy as I glanced up at my lawyer through blurry eyes. I lifted my hands slowly, shocked when he caught them and shoved his face into them.
I was trembling from all the pain but I felt his own trembling even more. And goddess, he was doing everything possible not to burst out crying.
"Alpha," when he said those words, they came off as a whisper. Hell, he didn't even sound like the sturdy, arrogant prick I have grown to know, respect and work with for so long. His trembling fingers came to wipe the sweat off my forehead and his lips moved even before his voice could slip through.
