Tyler
I sat at the edge of the bed waiting for Emily. I know Emily is new to this whole life, but I truly need her to understand that there is nothing in this world that will deter our relationship and I will not allow anyone to come between us. I've been a fool before by letting her go, and it was the hardest thing for me to do and love her from afar, thinking I was doing her good by staying away.
The pull from our mating bond made me ache uncontrollably each time I went away. I longed to touch her, to see her... To make her mine.
I first found her back when we were in the middle of a war. I cowardly let go of her because I was scared that she would get hurt. But my sister Selene was right. No one can protect her better than I can, and she's safer with me than anywhere else in this world.
