Chapter 180: Finding Her

Leonard’s POV

​One Year Later

​I stared out the window of my office at the pack below, but I didn’t see the skyline. I saw a pair of silver masks. I saw a red wig. I saw a woman who had disappeared into the night like a ghost.

The pain of losing her had been a heavy weight I carried every single day. But that night, Samantha had changed everything. For a few hours, she made me forget about Scarlett. She made me forget the grief and the pain.
