Chapter 21 Are You Ashamed Of Me?

• I stare at Henry, his face glowing with a mix of emotions, waiting for me to break the silence and give him the reassurance he needed to confide in me. The tension between us was thick, and I knew that whatever that was I was keeping him from was the only thing that was separating us further apart. But I can’t tell him the truth now, not until I find a discloser that will not only bring us closer together but also help him understand why I had to keep it from him.
• With his hand cradled against my cheek, I could see the vulnerability in his eyes, begging me to trust him enough to share my secret. I knew that once I found the right words, our bond would be stronger than ever before. But our enemies that took our parents away were still out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I needed to protect him, even if it meant keeping him in the dark a little while longer.
• I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch, feeling the weight of my decision heavy on my shoulders. But the warmth of touch reassured me that we were in this together, no matter what challenges lay ahead. Our unspoken connection spoke volumes, giving me the strength to face whatever came our way. He is my brother, my mate, no matter how much it sounds weird or unconventional to others. I knew deep down that our bond was unbreakable, and that was all that mattered in the end.
