Sandy's POV
The deepest wounds always came from those you trusted most.
Because betrayal only stung when it involved someone whose opinion actually mattered to you.
That's exactly why the revelation hit me like a freight train, leaving every nerve in my body completely numb. I felt like I was barely existing instead of truly living.
For weeks, I'd been trapped in an endless void of darkness. I genuinely believed I'd never find my way out.
But salvation came from an unexpected source. Not from any person offering comfort, but from within myself.
My wolf had returned.
Taylor.
She was the lifeline that pulled me back from the brink of complete despair.
When Grey first told me the truth, Taylor was just as bewildered as I was. However, she quickly accepted that Grey was my biological father, not the man who had raised me.
Her acceptance came easier than mine. Perhaps being the primal side of my nature, she processed emotions differently than my human heart did.
