Chapter 206 Manuel

• Seeing Gabe laid there like that was enough to make me want to go and find that Alpha and torture the evil son of a bitch, I swear I have never felt anger like it. This was my cousin. My family. Like a brother to me. We have been close since being born. The closest friends. Seeing him like this made me hurt, made me angry. But intermingled with the anger was agony and upset at seeing my closest friend and cousin injured, knowing he had been so close to dying.
• And he had been like that because he had come down here to help me and my mate. I will always look at it like that. He didn’t have to come, but he will have had the same pull to the warrior's team and the family I did and wouldn’t have wanted to leave them. I know what he will have been thinking. He will have needed to be there. Needed to help. He will have had that pull to come to us. I know he will.
• He wanted to help, support us and be there. Part of me wonders if some of his reasoning was for Esme too. And seeing her now by his side, anyone can see they are meant to be together. They need to make this being mates work now. They would be crazy not to. Maybe this could be their second chance? Maybe he could get better and they could have their second chance together. Fate blessing them another go at things?
