Chapter 0335

I raise the gun, my finger on the trigger. I couldn't see anything but her. The voices around me were echoes.

Images of how we met replay in my head. How I saw her from the gates. How I followed her into the forest and watched her talk to herself, though that turned out to be her Wolf. The first time I kissed her. How her skin was so soft under my fingers. The way she would snore yet insist she didn't. She had opened herself to me and now, I could feel her slipping.

My lungs grow tight until I can barely breathe. She is supposed to be my mate for life, but she had lost herself in her grief. She had been forced out. She had given up on us.
