Jealousy and questions

Lucas

"Brandon didn't want to be in my pack. He did it because his mother made him, i mean that literally."

I nod.

He continues.

"Brandon was fun but made me a little reckless. I have duties and I have always stuck by my duties but with him, I would forget about them and just be young...you know."

There is a smile on his face. He is reminiscing about another man and he has a smile on his face.

Jealousy seeps through me but I don't want to show it. I cannot be jealous of a man that I don't even know and besides, Gabe is here with me. In my car. That is all that matters...right?

I am not jealous.

I listen intently to Gabriel's words, trying to understand the complexity of his relationship with Brandon. It's clear that there is a deep history and connection between them, one that was filled with both joy and challenges.
