Chapter 24 Rejected Bully

• Waking up next to Gabriel is much nicer than I ever thought it was going to be. He is warm and soft and I just want him to stay curled around me forever. And then I remember the sacrifice he is making for me. I couldn't imagine how much it would hurt him to let me leave. Spending that much time away from your mate will hurt both him and his wolf. I honestly didn't think he had it in him, the willingness to put himself aside for a moment shows a side of him I would have begged for years ago. The thought makes me sigh as I watch him sleep, I reach out and trace his cheekbones down his strong jaw. The overwhelming feeling of sadness sweeps over me and I know that I will undoubtedly miss him. At least this new man I am going to see, suddenly his hand snapped up and snatched mine. I look back at his eyes to see them twinkling in mischief. He smiled at me a little before kissing my fingertips.
