I have to let her go. Entirely.
But for tonight, I would allow myself to mourn the loss.
Tonight, I would be selfish.
Let my wolf free.
Run off this wild energy.
And say goodbye, once and for all.
She already hated me for what I’d said. While most of it had been out of context, I wouldn’t try to explain myself. I wouldn’t apologize. I’d just let her… be.
My punishment for those words would come in the method of having to watch her fall for another Alpha. One who would be a better fit for her. Take her away from Blood Sector. Make her his in every way.
And leave me to my solitary fate.
The way it should be.
The way it has to be.
I would agree to help with the Eligible Omega Mates program. To guard the Omegas involved while they considered Alphas mates. But I would not be among the eligible pool—something I confirmed to Kieran now with a brief thought.
His only reply was a hum in response, the sound not saying much at all. But I didn’t need his commentary. Because I would not be changing my mind.
I’d resigned myself to a solitary fate long ago.
Ivana deserves better, I reminded myself as my wolf continued to tear across the cold ground.Ivana deserves thebest.
Something I would ensure she found since Kieran had placed me in charge of Omega security. Ivana Michaels would not settle for anything less than perfect. I’d make sure of it.
There was no other choice.
She was a prized jewel. A beauty unlike any other. An Omega with the spirit of an Alpha. And any potential mate who didn’t see that—who didn’trespectandadorethat—wouldn’t be permitted to go anywhere near her.
Because she was still mine to protect for now.
And I would protect her until someone worthy enough stepped into her path…
