waking up every month. It happened a week earlier this time." Cole frowned. "He's getting weaker than before." I whispered. "Yeah. Kinda like that. We don't let word get out cause other packs will probably use the opportunity to attack us. You know, the Alpha weak and everything." Alec shrugged. Guilt immediately weigh me down. "It's my fault."
