CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
BRIAN’S POV
I knew what my fate would be once I entered that camp. I could see it in their eyes. I could hear it in the whispers around me.
I'm going to die.
There was a point in time in my life when I want to die. After my first mate was killed, I felt guilty. She was killed because of me. I’ve always known it was my fault.
My mate was killed because I had taken the wrong person, and someone who loved them came after me. They killed her as revenge. And I knew I deserved to die after that. I know that honestly, I still do deserve death after everything I’ve done.
However, I can't help but be sad about it now. I just barely found my new mate, and I don't want to leave her. I want to explore the connection we have. I want to love this beautiful woman.
I know I can't though. I couldn’t before because it was too dangerous for her to be around me. I can’t now because I won’t be alive for much longer.
