Tethered Desires and Reckless Alliances

Gabriel

I have been unable to sleep since the tethering. I hate that I have suddenly become so weak when it comes to Lucas Blackwood.

No one would understand how I agreed to be one with him.

Not even Elijah and he is my best friend and second in command.

I can't tell anyone about the things we uncovered because Lucas said I shouldn't.

When did I start listening to fucking Blackwood?

I stand up from my bed, in nothing but my briefs. My head is a swirling emotional mess. I hate that I am involved with Lucas and I need to find a way out of it.

I look out of my window and the moon is still overhead. Suddenly I wish for tonight to end, I want to start a new day without thoughts of Blackwood and the shit that surrounds him.

My phone vibrates on my bedside table but I ignore it. But it vibrates again, and I groan, picking it up to see who it is. It's Lucas.
