The fact that they were here and we were all a family again was something that I would never stop being grateful for .

Im David of the Lunar Lake pack , son of the Lunar Lake Alpha and Luna , he said in a monotone voice.I am here today to offer an apology to the Rowanwood pack and Ella Rowan .
My actions are … David suddenly crumpled the paper in his hands and lifted his eyes up to the camera .

Ella , Im sorry that I hurt you .
I never meant to do it , and I never would have done it if it werent for Amanda .
You and I both know what she can be like how she is when she wants something .

Amanda attempted to seduce me .
Its the same dirty trick she played in the restaurant during our engagement party .
I dont know how the did it , but I know that shes the one to blame , and Im going to find a way to prove it to you .
The TV screen went black suddenly , then the faces of two confused looking reporters appeared on the screen .
We seem to be having technical difficulties , one of them said .

He was staring at the TV with rage on his face .
