Lily POV
The thank-you letter crumpled in my shaking hands as I read the words that made my heart ache.
"Dear Lily Carter, our entire pack owes you our lives. Because of your sacrifice, our children still know their parents. Because of your bravery, our friends still remember their love. You saved every wolf bond in the world except your own. We are forever grateful."
I threw the letter across the room, watching it join the hundreds of others spread on my floor. Letters from packs I'd never heard of, from dogs I'd never met, all saying the same thing. Thank you for saving us. Thank you for your effort. Thank you for giving up your happiness so we could keep ours.
"I don't want your thanks," I whispered to the empty room. "I want my mate back."
