I failed her. I need to fix this. The only reason she is caught up in this mess is because of me: my pack, my enemies, my secrets I’ll stop at nothing to keep them from destroying the only thing that matters to me. My Mate.

Saoirse Murphy. Fierce, stubborn, strong. She was the temptation I couldn’t give in to. I would’ve gone through hell for her. Even if it meant removing myself from her life to save her the heartache that comes from being with a Made Man. But when she needed me, I couldn't resist her call. I would always be there for her. Even if it meant seeing her in the hands of another man. At least that’s what I told myself. Saoirse was walking temptation, and I didn’t believe I could resist.

For me, it took one press of his lips on mine to understand loving Gabriel Romero was my only option. He would forever be my only option. So I had no choice. It was my turn to protect him, even if it ripped our lives apart.

We never had a chance, him and me. We were ruined before we began. And now? We were still just as broken, but I needed his help. My feelings for Gabriel Romero would remain locked away because to navigate through the tangled mess of my life, they had to. Besides, some things can’t be fixed, and we were irreparably damaged. I’d made sure of that long ago.
