[GREALOR]
Nothing would ever be the same anymore. That was a reality that Gabe was faced with even as he stood there and watched the gravesite for the woman who was supposed to be his luna until he convinced Tamiko to choose him.
He hadn't lived a good life, or even an honorable one, though Gabriel always hoped that he had more time to make things right. He always hoped that the universe would let him have the chance to make it all better.
But then twenty-five whole years was a time he had been granted unconditionally, and in all of that, he had screwed up every single time. He had hurt the one that he wanted.
Gabriel was an alpha wolf and that meant that unlike the other wolves who found their mates at twenty-five, Gabe already knew who his mate was when he was eighteen. He could have spent the seven years before the mating festival for him to make things right, but he hadn't done shit.
