I wake up to the sound of little hands on my face, and to Molly's smiling face. I love her so much, and I stand by my decision. She is meant to be mine. I look at the clock, and it says 7:11 am. The Games start at 10 am, but registration starts at 9:30. They are also having a breakfast buffet at 8:30 am at the packhouse, but I'm not going anymore.
I want to avoid seeing him as much as possible. He doesn't want me, and I need to move on, and I don't need to make it harder on myself. I'm still going to Games Day because I've worked too hard to hide away and not participate. As the second strongest female warrior in this pack, my scores will increase Cold Moon's overall score.
I'm going to go, and fight, and run. I'm going to use the pain I feel and turn it into anger to be even better. It's early, so first things first, I take Molly to go change her diaper and get her dressed. I grab the tool bag and take 20 minutes to convert her crib into a toddler bed. I don't want a repeat of last night. Molly and I head down for breakfast, and I make some scrambled eggs, toast, and I cut up some bananas.
"How's my princess this morning?" Lev asks, when he walks into the kitchen.
"She's good. Completely unaware of the panic she put us all through last night," I admit, and Lev chuckles and gives Molly a kiss on her forehead.
"You're not going to the buffet breakfast?" he frowns.
"I figured I wouldn't make things harder than they need to be," I say while pushing my eggs around on my plate.
"You're still going to the games, right?" he presses.
"Definitely. I've worked way too hard to not compete. I love this pack, and I'm not going to let them down." I say firmly.
... (rest of the content remains the same) --- Jack's Point of View:I wake up, and the clock says 8:45 am. I didn't get to sleep until really late. I ran for a few hours, and I hunted a bear. I needed to release some aggression. I still feel like my heart is being ripped out, and I have so much rage, but I have decided I need to accept this. She has a family with this guy. I need to keep my distance from her. Why did she kiss me, though, if she was with someone else? It felt like we were magnets, it was probably just really hard to resist.
