"Vance hadn’t known what I was until then. It wasn’t anything we talked about and as a beta, she didn’t have the nose. In hindsight, I think their relationship may have already been on the rocks and I was simply the catalyst, but Vance didn’t see it that way. She became hateful after their breakup, convinced that I had stolen him from her, that I was actively with him. Nothing could be further from the truth - he was a stupid brute, and I was too involved in my studies for romance. It didn’t matter. Some time later, I learned she had left her apprenticeship, and I thought that was the last I’d hear of her."
