Chapter 16: Kiss or Kill?... Karma
[TAMIKO]
"The pack slave would like to get some rest, your highness. Make sure you lock the door on your way out. I don't want to be sick before my slavery tomorrow, alright? See you never," Tamiko added coldly.
He was tired and needed to rest, besides, he hadn't even gone home to check his shelter, which his mate had traced earlier. Tamiko was in for a long ride, but even then, he was determined to get some sleep.
Who knew if this was the last time he would ever be this free? The fact that he was mated to Gabe could mean so many things. The man could make his life even harder and reject him, though if Gabe rejected Tamiko that would be a win for the young lycan.
"Tamiko please—" Gave began, but Tamiko suddenly started snoring loudly. He wasn't in the mood to chat with a man who had spent his entire life running his life, even though Tamiko strangely loved hearing his name on Gabe's lips.
It was strange, but even as he pretended to snore into the night, Tamiko wondered what he was supposed to do with this new reality. He could accept it, and live a better life with the same wolves who had treated him like shit.
Accepting Gabe meant staying in the pack, which was the one thing he didn't want, not to mention that it would go against everything he had believed in. Tamiko hated Grealor and none more than the alpha's son, his mate.
The other choice that was left for Tamiko, was for him to reject Gabe, and then leave Grealor. He could free himself; but at the same time, that meant that he would free the very people who had broken him one too many times.
He hadn't endured all that torture for him to come out like a saint. But then maybe leaving Grealor would be the only way for him to go back to Kawai. At least there, even if he didn't have a family, he knew he would be among people like him. Lycans.
