Nate opened the door to his pack house and allowed me to walk in first, both him and Brett directly behind me. I smiled slightly to myself as I peered around at what would be my new home. Though this place was filled with bad memories for me I was determined to make some good ones. "I can't believe you did it" a masculine voice spoke from behind me toward the living room as I spun around instantly seeing Brody. "I didn't think you were listening to me Nate but you actually did" he continued his face lite up like it was Christmas.

Nate did what? I glanced back at him as a pained expression dominated his face and I could feel his guilt begin to grow. "Well, where is he?" Brody pushed making my confusion grow.

"Who?" I asked as he laughed lightly clearly thinking I was messing around.

"Carter" he blurted seemingly overjoyed whereas I now felt like crying and vomiting at the same time. My stomach churned into an uncomfortable feeling unsure of how to tell him what happened or explain where his son was.

"He's not here," I told him honestly as a woman walked up next to Brody as she wrapped her arms around his forearm. She was a little shorter then I was with jet black hair and light brown eyes. She was stunning, to say the least, and I knew right away she was Carter's mom.

"It's so nice to finally meet my son's mate, you are just as pretty as he said you were" she complimented grinning brightly in the process which made my heart beat erratically "I'm Karen" she extended her hand as I shook it unsure of what to do or what to say. How could I just tell them that Carter wasn't here because I left him behind? How could I explain that I left their son, my true mate for their Alpha? I couldn't... "Is he outside? We've missed him so much" Karen continued as she glanced out of the window briefly with the hopes of seeing her son.

"Mom" Brett spoke up from my side, his voice strong and stern "Carter isn't coming." Now both Brody and Karen turned to look at me, both of their eyebrows furrowing with confusion as to why I was here without Carter. Brody's eyes lifted upward from me where I knew Nate was standing as he put two and two together, that I was here to be with him.

"Sorry for the confusion, Luna" Brody spoke monotonically as he bowed his head slightly looking extremely disappointed in me.

"You left Carter?" Karen gasped as her eyes instantly began to water before she was engulfed in a hug by her husband "he's your mate" she whimpered her voice being muffled by his clothing as guilt dominated my body.

"Come on" Nate murmured wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pulling me up the stairs. "Stop it will only hurt worse" he instructed as I kept stealing glances back at Carter's distraught parents, only being comforted by Brett hugging onto them. As we reached Nate's room- well our room I guess he tossed my bags on the floor. "Are you okay?" He questioned lightly as I glanced around the room even though I had pretty much memorized the contents of it when I was here last. In reality, I just wanted to avoid looking at Nate, I didn't want him to see how truly affected I was by Brody and Karen.

"Am I a bad person?" I whispered as I ran my fingers along his dresser picking up a framed picture of him and Chloe. It had to have been a couple of years old judging not only by their size difference but Chloe's braces.

Within a second Nate had walked around me so he could see my face. His hand trailed up and wiped away my tears as my gaze remained focused on the dresser. "How could you even think that?"
