Chapter 20
Ema's
I could not stop thinking about the last things Derek said to me before he walked out of my room. Those words felt like they were stuck in my head, playing over and over again.
"One day, you will forgive me for the things I am about to do."
The sentence stayed with me all through the night while I tossed and turned in the large bed. It followed me into the early hours of the morning when I had to get ready for school. I kept wondering what he meant. What was he planning to do that would require my forgiveness? Was something terrible going to happen tonight?
The way he had spoken to me was what bothered me the most. He didn't sound like the cold, angry Alpha I was used to. His voice had been quiet, almost sad. It was as if he was already feeling guilty for a choice he hadn't even made yet. It made me feel a strange sense of dread that I couldn't shake off.
