#Chapter 97 Ethan Makes a Vow

Ethan Over the years I’ve been in more fights than I can count, some more noble than others – some decidedly dumb. Either way, I’ve taken more than my fair share of punches, but I’ve never felt such a powerful gut punch as the one Jane just landed. I feel as though all the air has been stolen from my lungs, like I’ve forgotten how to breathe and won’t ever remember again. I expected my mate to be relieved that she was no longer in any danger of being arrested, I wanted her to be happy and excited like this – but not because it meant she could leave. I’d known she was planning on moving up her departure date, but I thought that was because she was afraid. I hoped that with things more settled and everyone safe and sound again, she’d reconsider. It’s not why I did it of course, but I can’t deny how disappointed I am to see her so overjoyed to go back to the Dark Moon pack. “What about the perfume launch?” I say blankly, taking a step back from her. “Things aren’t finished here.”
