Love After Loss

"My sister, Cherry Nicholson, called me nine times before she jumped into the sea. But I didn't pick up once.Now everyone says it's my fault she's gone—even my fiance, my Alpha mate—Samuel Carver.He used to stay by my side through every painful treatment for my wolfsbane fever. Now, he shoves me to the ground like I'm nothing.His once gentle face is now twisted with contempt as he looks down on me and warns, "You don't deserve to be happy!"And truth be told, it isn't just them who believe that. Even I do.Since then, I've stopped going out, stopped dressing up, and stopped meeting anyone's eyes.Even when I run into Samuel holding hands with another she-wolf, I lower my head and walk past silently.But when the wolfsbane fever comes back, I drown in agony and despair. I decide to give my life to atone for what happened to Cherry.That's when they all start to regret it."
