Ivan’s POV
After what happened with Lena, I hadn’t wanted to ever speak to George ever again. It had been bad enough that my step-brother had married the girl that I loved, but when she had died, I blamed him.
An Alpha should have been able to protect his Luna.
I would have been able to protect her, had she been mine.
Yet George had gained sympathy instead of criticism. Any time I had tried to bring it up, I was told to be quiet and not hurt my brother.
No one cared about my pain and I grew bitter. The bonds between George and I shattered. I’d been thinking about moving away anyway, to start my own pack without George’s influence, but this had been the final push to drive me to do so.
I’d avoided George entirely, minding my own business, keeping to myself.
