If Only He Had Been With Me Summary Novels & Stories

I replied, not wanting to hide things anymore from him. Stephen was my only friend and my only family. He was the only one who understood me best and would always listen to me no matter how late or early it was. I should have told him everything sooner... If only I were brave enough. There was silence for a moment. "Shall we meet up to talk before the hangout?" He asked. His tone grew soft. I fiddled with my bag as I nodded. "Let's go together. I will find you." I suggested.

What he didn’t tell me was that it was only the first leg of our adventure. I miss Slate with my entire being. When I think of him, I am filled with a deep ache that goes all the way into my bones. In some ways, I think it would have been better if I had never known he was my mate. Had we never found each other, never mated, I wouldn’t long for him the way that I do. My heart wouldn’t be broken if I had never filled it with his love. You cannot miss something that you have never experienced.

“I should have to ask you to do this. I should have been able to figure it all out and we should have come to this.” I thought about it and then pulled my hands out of his, making him turn back to face me with a silent desolation on his face. I wrapped my arms around him and leaned against his shoulder. “If none of this had ever happened…I don’t think we would have ever met. You would have met your Lycan mate, probably years ago, and I would have ended up dead.” I confessed. “That isn’t true.” He tried to argue, but I just laughed.

There was a slight worry on his face as he looked down at me. “I was walking down memory lane. My life would have been the same if I didn’t meet Owen.” With raised brows, he said, “So Owen gets all the credits.” “Silly.” I playfully hit him on the arm before I pulled him down. I pressed my lips against him and cupped his head. “I wouldn’t be here if not because of you. I guess I’m just lucky.” “You mean it’s destiny.” He pinned me with his body but made sure he would not crush me.

If only I had allowed him to go with me, maybe then what happened could have been prevented. ‘Or maybe it would have still happened, but with him, instead of a total stranger?’ A voice pointed out reasonably and I could not understand the shudder that permeated my body instantly.

he whispered to her as if hoping his words would reach her subconscious and offer comfort. He recalled their journey together, from that fateful night when their paths crossed unexpectedly to this pivotal moment in the hospital. It had been a roller-coaster of emotions, and yet, he wouldn't have traded a moment of it. Vivian had become a vital part of his life, someone he couldn't imagine living without.

“I have to go, please make sure to deliver my message.” The fact that he didn’t want to hear about them made me feel bad and had even broken my heart a little, but I could understand. He had been through way more than I had, and it was all because they decided not to fight for us and gave us away. “Okay...I really want to see you.” “Me too,” I whispered and tried to control my sadness. Originally I had not felt a bond with him, but after talking to him a few times—I definitely did.

How was that even okay? "Well, they were fools, but I'm glad they were." As soon as he said that, I not only scrunched my eyebrows but also watched Fallon stop applying the medicine, retrieve her hand back, and stare at him. "Because if that asshole hadn't fucked up, I would have never found you on the road. I would have never traveled with you. I would have never met a woman named Fallon." He paused. My heart started pounding in my chest. "And I would have never found someone I could fall for."

“ I know I failed. I know this is my fault. You don’t have to keep reminding me. ” His failure? Yes, I have been angry at him, and I should be happy with what he is saying. But this is breaking my heart. It’s not his failure. It’s mine. I was supposed to go with him. He was angry at me the last time we talked, and I didn’t even get the chance to see him. If I had abandoned everything else, if I had just gotten over my shock, my anger, my pain… I would have been there with him.

I whisper and look away. “It is not your fault, baby. You didn’t tell her to do this. And we will be okay, I promise.” He tells me as he makes me look at him. “If I hadn’t looked for her.” I start. “If you had not looked for her, we would not have met. So don’t see this as your fault. Meeting you is the best thing that has happened to me. And I wouldn’t change it ever.” He tells me.
