"I want you to help me rebuild," she said, dark eyes narrowed, staring at him as she folded her arms over her chest. "I'm using the truth, but I can see where you don't want to face your truth, Derek. You know the one I'm talking about, right?"

She moved a step closer to him. "The one where you deserted me to die. I checked the books. Did you even consider coming back or just kiss me goodbye and sail off to college to enjoy yourself? How long before you ditched Peter?"

She paused, arching a brow. "Is he even alive, Derek? Or did you see him dead as well? I mean, you say I don't know you and you're right. Because you abandoned me. You abandoned your family and your pack and you want me to give you my blessing to just run off and pretend you're not a Hale? Do you even still have our name, or did you get rid of that too?"
