Chapter 11
Avi and Kirstie had gotten up early to drive to Esther's, and Avi had to hand over his own child to his sister, because The Counsel said that he was not fit to care for her. They might as well have ripped his heart from his chest and buried it, because at least his heart wouldn't hurt as much as it did right now. Kirstie headed back to the car, not wanting to spend another second in the house, afraid she might cry. Avi stayed back and grabbed one of Esther's hands. "Please let me know how much money you need to cover her expenses. And also please tell me when a good time would be to visit..." "You can come over any time. And don't worry about her expenses.

He was deemed a terrible father, before he had even met his child. Or maybe he was deemed a terrible father the day he met his own. Esther frowned at how defeated he looked. She knew firsthand how hard he could be on himself. "Alpha... Don't beat yourself up."
