I should have tried harder at breaking the bond between us rather than the person. Only, there’s one thing I didn’t take into account in my equation.

Our bond is unbreakable.

Sometimes, it takes the scariest moment of your life to realize something. Jamie and I are going to be together. There is nothing anyone can do about that. Because no matter how hard I tried to stay away to protect her, she almost died.

She almost fucking died.

Is that how she felt when she thoughtIdied? Shit, when I woke up after the fight, my choice to keep her at arm’s length was only fortified. But how didshefeel? Because the way I’m feeling right now, there is just no way I’m ever taking my eyes off her again.Never.

The Wolves are done. Volkov is dead and he’ll never be a threat again.

So, fuck Bianco and his rules. Fuck Nate trying to get in-between us.

Jamie and I are a forever kind of thing. I would fight and kill for her. And I’m not talking death do us apart sort of shit. No, I’ll follow my Angel to heaven, bring her back down, and drag her to hell with me. Exactly where I belong. Mine today, mine tomorrow, and mine forever.

God, it’s like something in me is pulling and pulling, desperate to get out and get to her. It’s controlling my body into a desperate need to submit to her love.

And she almost died.She almost died thinking I didn’t want her, that I didn’t love her enough to fight against all of this.

I shake my head, look around, and let my eyes fall on my twin’s identical ones.

“We shouldn’t be here,” she tells me.

And she’s right. I don’t reply, I just look down.

“You tried,” she adds.

“Tried what?” I ask as I focus on a spot on the hospital linoleum floor.

“To stay away.” It’s like she can read my mind. She can sense I’m changing direction, she knows I’m about to go in there and declare my undying love to a girl I’ve pushed away since I’ve come back to Stoneview.

I shrug and direct my gaze to my shoes.

“Some people are like magnets,” she says. “You can fight all you want, the second you lose focus, the second you put your guard down, it’ll find its way back to the other.”

I nod, showing I see what she’s saying. Understanding that even if she knows I make my own decisions, she’s giving me her blessing to go ahead with my crazy thoughts. To take Jamie for myself despite the dangers. To make the most selfish decision of my life. And she might not think it matters, but her blessing means everything to me.

“That pull, Jakey, you’ll feel it forever. Time, distance,danger.Nothing will dull it. I get it, truly. I have it too.”

I look up and scowl at her. “You better be talking about Rachel and not Sam.”

She cackles a raspy laugh as her head falls back. When she looks at me again, she’s got that cheeky smile on. “Who said I’m only talking about one person?”

It’s my turn to laugh. “Oh, Ozy. You’re just going to keep breaking hearts, aren’t you?”

She stretches, fatigue spreading into her body. “Yeah, I guess. At least until I find someone who’s willing to put a heavy crown on and reign on my little heart.”

“They’d have to find it first.”

“The crown?”

“The heart,” I mock her.

The door to Jamie’s room opens and her mom comes out. She walks past us and throws a glare my way.

Yep. Fair.

I wait until she’s in the elevator to jump out of my seat.
