Her eyes shot open at Karren's words. Lorraine had left?! Why would she just up at leave without a single word?! Poor Kai was so distraught, for reasons unknown to her at the time, that she didn't even here the other woman's next words. When the paper was handed to her, she snapped out of her trance-like state long enough to take it and read it. Her eyes moved across the page, lips moving as she silently mouthed the words.<br/><br/>The note read as follows:<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Kai,<br/><br/>As my alpha, I wanted to apologize to you personally. While I wish I had the heart to do it in person, I just can't forgive myself for what I've done. I know none of you blame</span>me<span style="font-style: italic">for what my human did to Warren, what she put him through, but I blame myself. I can never forgive myself for sitting back and letting it happen, watching it all. I should have tried harder to break free, I'm so sorry that I didn't.<br/><br/>With that said, I'll tell you why I left without a word. I just couldn't handle what I'd done, what I'd let happen. Even as I write this, I still hate myself terribly. In order to clear my mind and come to peace with it all - because, lord knows I wish I could go back and change everything - I needed to get away from everything and everyone. I adore you greatly and, while I respect you as my alpha, I'm shutting myself away for awhile, cutting my bonds off until I am ready to come back.<br/><br/>But I digress for the time being. When we meet again, and I know we will, I will give the both of you a proper apology. Until then, tell Warren how sorry I am.<br/><br/>The real reason for this note is what I've left for you. I've packed away all of my research (both handwritten notes and those on my laptop) and even made sure to write it all in a way that you all could understand it. Knowing Brandt, I'm guessing he's found it already. And if you're reading this then someone has found the other thing I have left for you. The serum.<br/><br/>When I took your blood awhile back, I had already started working on a dose for you before even mentioning the possibility of changing. I've tested it multiple times with your blood just to make sure it would work, and it turned out beautifully each time. You have absolutely nothing to worry about when you decide to take it. While I wish I could have altered it to make the change less painful for you, there was no way I could make that possible. Your bones have to reshape and change and reform. It's a painful process, so I apologize for the pain you will have to go through.<br/><br/>On another note. After testing your new 'mutated' blood, I tested it with the sample I took from Warren and....they're pretty compatible. So, I think it's safe to say that you should have no problems when it comes to creating little ones.<br/><br/>I must go now. But when I do see you again, I expect to see your family growing. <br/><br/>Best wishes,<br/>Lorraine</span>
