Alpha DECEPTION
“I’ve watched you carry everything alone, since we were sixteen.”
“Every threat, every attack, every loss… I’ve seen you fight it all and never let anyone in.”
“And now, for the first time you let someone in, you give him all of yourself. And you think it’s love.”
My throat tightened. “You don’t know him.” I countered back.
“Neither do you.” He countered.
I opened my mouth to argue, but nothing came.
“I’ve loved you since we were sixteen, Emily.”
“Every summer, every storm, every quiet night… I wanted to tell you, I wanted to hold you.”
