Seeing the color drain from her face, Rodriguez felt guilty for asking, but he needed to know. "Arya, I know it is hard... but I need to know!"
Arya looked up at him, right into his eyes. They were pleading for clarity, begging for any kind of closure.
She took in a deep breath, "It was Braxen. Alfa's wolf."
She felt something break inside of her. She knew the consequences of revealing this information. Knowing this, she agreed to become Alfa's luna! The luna of the one responsible for their parents' death! How will she explain this to Rodriguez, and will he understand this?
She saw Rodriguez eyes slowly going wide with realization. "Alfa... as in your mate, Alfa Flowerew... oh Goddess, you let that murderer mark you?" Rodriguez half screamed in shock, half in anger and disbelief.
Arya flinched at the sudden rise in his voice. She did expect this burst out but didn't expect the anger that came with it.
