The war has just begun

Lucas

The rest of the car ride is quiet and that is all I needed to not break down.

I ended things with Gabriel, and it feels like my heart is completely shattered. I wish I was strong enough to fight for him and keep him in my life but we both know it is a losing battle.

I can let go of everything for him, but Gabriel is not going to and I don't even want to give him the chance to even have to go through that.

He needs to do things the way he has been taught all his life. Find your mate, perform the mating ritual and then have offspring.

That is the role of an alpha.

He knows that is what he has to do, and I don't want to come in between him and his principles.

Things happened between us. Things that were out of our control but now, I need to nip it in the bud.

I need to set him back on track and that doesn't include me. Our paths were never even supposed to cross, and we messed with time and destiny by tethering together.

I need to find a way to cut the tether.
