"Love has hurt me, Cry." The Empress gave a faint smile, gaze resting on the dark wolf beside her. "I was foolish to push away my mother's warning. She was a wise woman, but I was just a yearling, reckless and longing for adventure." The day she met Storm. Oh how her life turned up on itself. At first she had thought that was a good thing - but she had been wrong. She would never make that mistake again. "My first love left me for my sister, my second.... agreed to start a pack with me and then disappeared. Left me to lead this pack alone. And I have done so with the knowledge that giving up on them will mean giving in to the pain he caused. I will not give in to that pain, Cry. I can't."
