Lucas.
Since my conversation with Sansa, I contemplated a lot about what she said. Every day I spent out here on the training fields working out and staying in shape to take my mind off Cassie, I found my irritation growing hearing the other guys talk about their entry into the games. Each of them thought they had a chance with her, and it made me laugh while listening to them.
Cassie was a complicated woman for sure, and the more I thought about the little time we did spend together, the more I realized I was making a mistake by not trying like she wanted. Even my beast had retreated to the depths of my soul, refusing to acknowledge me over my refusal to take my stance with her.
We weren’t mated anymore, but that didn’t stop my desire to have her.
She was like a breath of fresh air every time I saw her from a distance, and I wanted more than anything to be close to her, but my fear of the darkness taking over me again prevented me from doing so.
Was I a fool… perhaps?
