Her chest constricted. Her lungs closed off.

No, no, no, no, no. She could not have a panic attack in front of him. There was no way. She didn't want him to see that.

She hung her head. She was a failure. She made all these choices for one reason, and now more than seven years later, she was right back where she’d started. They were in Alaska, her home state, the one place she never wanted to be stuck. And now she had this male shifter who was making demands on her life and Arabella’s life.

She knew it wasn't fair, she knew that as a father, he would be able to claim rights under most pack laws. Just because she didn't belong to a pack didn't mean they wouldn't enforce them.

Even humans had strong laws about paternity and allowing the child to see the father. She'd been around enough humans for the last seven years to know that a court would not look kindly on what she had done. In a human court, she might lose custody because of what she’d done.

She’d heard from several women during her various jobs who had been lectured by judges about deliberately keeping their children away from the father. Especially if there was no good reason. Some had even had their custody reduced because of it.

She had a good reason though. She just didn’t think anyone would understand it.

And now here was this good-natured male wolf shifter sitting next to her. He could’ve turned into a real asshole. He could’ve dragged her and Arabella to his pack the minute he saw them and let his Alpha decide their fate. After what she’d done, including paralyzing him, she knew exactly what her fate would be – they’d say she wasn’t fit to raise a child.

Was she supposed to be grateful that he was nice? Because she wasn't. She wasn't grateful at all. She was bitter and resentful, and she was fighting mad. All she’d ever done was try to keep a low profile and take care of her daughter and now none of that mattered.

She wasn't going to cry, but she felt her skin begin to get wet as she pressed her hands to her eyes.

His big hand landed on her back. She wanted to shake him off, but he couldn't bring herself to do it. Part of her liked the comfort that his hand brought, and she hated that too.

Maybe it would be easier to be one of those uncomplicated females who just accepted who they were. But she could never do that. The past was too close. It would never fade from her mind.

Just yesterday Arabella had asked, "Mommy, why can't we be a part of a big pack?"

"It's complicated. You're probably too young to understand." Violet wished she knew how old she was when understanding had dawned on her.

When was the first time that she had watched her mother defer to her dad over something important? When was the first time she'd realized
