If He Had Been With Me Novels & Stories

Shawn swallowed hard and whispered to Zara, and maybe to himself too, "Should I have taken you with me 11 years ago?" Back then, things were so unsure, and it might not have been the right thing to do. However, if he had, he would have been there to protect her and stop her from getting so badly hurt.

But he understood because his eyes glistened as he continued to look into my eyes. "I'm sorry, I wasn't there for you … but am glad your colleagues were. I would have hated to learn you'd gone through that alone," he rasped. His voice was thick with emotions. "You have nothing to apologize for, perhaps if I had told you earlier you would have come to be by my side … " "I would have with no shadow of a doubt. I would have come to you and brought you home -- the three of you."

I would have waited for her. If I had did, I wouldn’t have stumbled on that annoying mate snatcher. Did I just say a mate snatcher?

Instead, he took my hand in his and began to race through the woods as fast as he could. If only I knew what being with this stranger would have done to me, maybe I wouldn't have gone for it.

一 On second thought, now I will. I smiled at his comment, I had no idea he wasn't going to, and probably the reason he had just changed his mind was me and in a way that cheered me up as I wouldn't be alone 一 I would have the my friends there, but it wasn't the same thing as being with him, it was like it was more fun. I didn't know what was happening to me, but this didn't sit well with me, I didn't want to get hurt again.

"Did you miss me, baby?" I shifted uncomfortably on the bed, thinking about where on Earth Liam could be. He should have been here with me, he should have. He shouldn't have left me alone. Had he been with me, then none of this would be happened. And to think I had asked him to stay by my side. He still went ahead and did whatever it was that he wanted.

For some reason, it felt too real for me to deny. “Go,” she said. “I can’t leave Maya.” “Fine, let’s go together. I actually want to help you.” “What’s the catch?” “Being with me.” “Get in,” I said. If things were about to go down, I needed someone strong on my side.

"I would have killed you on-spot if only I was not stopped. I would have killed you the moment you took away my mate!" I widened my eyes at his words. "Y-your mate?"

“I thought I had lost you forever.” I patted his hand and smiled back. It will be a long journey ahead. But if he was really willing, I could try walking down that road with him.

I promised him at the same time as tears fell down my cheeks. It was as if I felt a young Gio in my arms. If only I had known, if I had been by his side, I would have defended him. I wish I was there when he was hurting. I wish I could go back to those times when he wasn't hurt, I hope that never happened to him again.
