Chapter 125: I Can’t Sleep Cause Thoughts Devour
[GREALOR]
Nothing would ever be the same anymore. That was a reality that Gabe was faced with even as he stood there and watched the gravesite for the woman who was supposed to be his luna until he convinced Tamiko to choose him.
He hadn’t lived a good life, or even an honorable one, though Gabriel always hoped that he had more time to make things right. He always hoped that the universe would let him have the chance to make it all better.
But then twenty-five whole years was a time he had been granted unconditionally, and in all of that, he had screwed up every single time. He had hurt the one that he wanted.
Gabriel was an alpha wolf and that meant that unlike the other wolves who found their mates at twenty-five, Gabe already knew who his mate was when he was eighteen. He could have spent the seven years before the mating festival for him to make things right, but he hadn’t done shit.
He had kept pretending that reality was not as bad as he thought it was. He had let everyone stomp on the man he was mated to. He had let the realm know of his mate as an outcast.
Gabriel always had a perfect window to put an end to the suffering Tamiko was going through, always. He was the alpha’s son, and he had the power to command the pack or even force them into submission.
But then instead of saving his mate. Instead of making Tamiko’s life better, he fucked up even worse. Now here he was, sitting beside the grave of someone who died for him, a grave that should never have been there in the first place, trying to make things make sense.
"You’re not welcome here. Get the fuck out before I kill you myself, Grealor," Danny, Galya’s twin said to the alpha who was seated next to his sister and father’s grave.
He had lost everything because of the house Grealor and hells be damned, he wouldn’t ever be able to forget this. Danny had lost more than was possible in the hands of the man who was his best friend.
There were days when Danny wanted to find Tamiko and kill him, but on other days, he knew he could have done worse than Tamiko if their positions had been switched. Maybe that was also why Danny had never talked about Tamiko since he killed his sister.
