Midnight Train

Liam

The pang that rung through my chest nearly brought me to my knees. A bitter taste soured my tongue, causing me to gag.

‘What is this?’ I demanded of Alo, wracking my brain for every illness that could hit a wolf like this.

‘That’s heartbreak,’ he said in a somber tone. I could feel him trying to push away from me, sending reassurance and comfort to his mate. Rose’s wolf had to be feeling it just as strongly if it was hitting us this hard.

‘Why?’ I growled, trying to rein my wolf back in. I didn’t need the two wolves forming any more of a connection than they had already.

Alo didn’t respond, and rightfully so. He had more pressing matters. They should have been just as important to me, but the idea that the best thing for Rose was to be as far away from me as possible permeated all thoughts I had of trying to fix the bond.

She would undoubtedly be good for me, but I wouldn’t be good for her.

And because of that, we would destroy each other.

Again, I never wanted a mate.
