Chapter 320: I Can Lie, Say I Like It Like That [2]
[GREALOR]
"What is it?" Zula spoke.
"You let Gabe be. No improvement, no mind games, no nothing. That man has had to endure the kind of hurt that none of you ever will. His mate chose someone else because of him.
"He was never officially rejected, despite the bonds he cut with Tamiko. That is why he still feels the pain and he will feel it for as long as Tamiko doesn’t come to reject him. That is enough punishment for the alpha.
"If you want me on board, you let the Alpha be. No chains, no nothing. He has suffered enough times already," Ciel said calmly. It was almost as if he could feel Gabe’s pain himself.
The stakes may have been higher than Ciel could ever be on drugs, but he understood what loss meant. It was one thing to mourn the dead, but it was another to mourn the living; especially if they were living their best lives without you.
Ciel knew what it meant to be in Gabe’s shoes and on some days, Ciel wished he never got to that point with Judd. Maybe it was one saving grace for him, because Judd was always kind, even in the face of adversity.
He was always the man with the right mind and the heart that always sought light rather than those that were already dark. He was the hope for that group and now he was gone.

It was the kind that was bound to drive him nuts because at the end of the day, no matter what they tried to do, no one would ever be able to attack that pain away from Gabe, except Tamiko himself.
