Perhaps it was for the best that he wasn’t alive anymore. Thaddeus was his mate, would always be his mate, and had always been his mate. But if he had found him while alive, he wasn’t sure he’d have allowed himself to be with him. Werewolves and wizards were enemies. They might not fight openly, but they did not get along.
Yet, he got along fine with Thaddeus.
He wished he could’ve left the apartment. Not because he wanted away from Thaddeus, but he needed to sleep, and Sandy wished he could have spent some time alone with Ric, see Ulf. He hadn’t dared ask Ric what Ulf was doing these days. Was he mated too? What if he had kids like Ric? How much had he missed?
Pain pierced his heart.
He was lucky to be given a second chance, lucky to be able to come back from the dead in whatever form he could, but things would never be normal again. He would always be the ghost who followed Thaddeus wherever he went.
He couldn’t leave.
