Chapter Fifty Five
Thane paused. For the first time, | saw a flicker of emotion on his face.
“She was dead. And in her hands, she held this paper. It was a message for me. She had explained the true
reason she turneddown earlier: she hadn't wantedclose because she knew | would be hurt in the end.
She had this sickness, an issue with her blood; she said it could never be cured. | did notice how thin she got, but
every t| asked, she cup with a story, maybe factoring it all to stress, and | believed her. | felt like a fool
for not looking deeper. This illness had been eating her out for a while, and that was the reason she settled out
alone; she didn’t want to hurt anyone. She said she had been selfish for wantingand selfish for having me,
even if she knew it would leavebroken in the end.
| had been so furious at everything. At myself for not realizing it soon, at fate for pairingwith her as a mate,
and at her for keeping it away from me, maybe | could have helped her if only she told me, we had the best set
of healers. Love was pain, and whatever we had was short -lived. | couldn't control my grief. | was ready to let go
of everything for her; she was all I had all | wanted, and then she was gone. | lost myself; | couldnt control my
emotions, and it was turninginto a beast.
Axel stepped in. He saved, me; he had takento a spell weaver. | don’t know exactly what she was, but she
was more than just a healer; she said the ache | felt was too much to bear and there would be no other way |
could recover except the pain could be shared. Axel hadn't hesitated to help, and the spell weaver or whatever
she called herself-had gone ahead to perform a Unification Ritual which had only ever been attempted twice in

But there was more Axel would lose. He would never find his mate, and he would forever share
my
emotions.” Thane finished, and | was silent, lost in thought.
| wiped the tears that dripped down my cheeks. Now | understood why Thane didn’t wantto tell anyone
about this-this had been one of his vulnerable moments, and | couldn't believe he had shared this with me.
| knew he wouldn’t want to speak anymore about his mate or abide in the topic, so | had to move on even if | still
had so many questions.
“Does Axel regret his decision?” | asked. | knew it felt like hell living without one’s mate, but to be clouded with
someone else’s feelings did feel bad too.
“He doesn't... yet. But I'll never forgive myself for being so weak, forcing him to risk his very own life for me,”
Thane says, and | wanted to tell him it wasn’t his fault that everyone was allowed to be weak once in a while but
| knew that Thane wouldn't want to hear any of that,
not from me.
Now it did make sense, while the both of them seemed so close, and he didn’t mind sharing with Axel.

“I hadn't found the right person. At a time, Beatrix was my first choice, but then do I really need a gamma?”
He didn’t. Axel and Thane could handle things just fine, or maybe | didn’t like the idea of any more power being
passed to Beatrix. She was already crossing lines; it would be worse if she were the Gamma.
