she says, slowly walking towards me. “Arkyn might not tell you this, so I will; stay the hell away from Kaia. She doesn’t need you in her life, especially not after today.” She says and without another word, she marches back inside, leaving me even more confused than before. What the hell happened today specifically that I need to stay away from Kaia? And why the fuck does she think I’ll listen to her, anyway?

Listening. “I was distant. Cold. I barely spoke to you. I didn’t even say goodbye the night before the honeymoon.” My breath shakes. “I pushed you away because I thought it was the right thing. I thought if I stayed close, I’d ruin everything. I told myself keeping my distance was protecting you.” Her eyes soften. “Kade…” “But it wasn’t,” I grind out. “It was cowardice. And it’s killing me now. Because you came back without your memories… and I wasn’t someone worth remembering.”

“You don’t relax around me anymore.” Her heart skipped. “That’s not true.” “Then why do you always look like you’re waiting to leave?” She didn’t answer. James leaned closer. “Did I do something wrong?” The question caught her off guard. “No.” “Then why are you pulling away?” “I’m not pulling away. I just need space sometimes.” James exhaled slowly, like he was disappointed. “Space leads to distance.” The silence stretched. “You used to be easier,” he said. The word burned.

But I know this version of me is learning something essential: Love isn’t proven by proximity. It’s proven by what you do with the distance.

“I need some time away from the manor.” Her face fell immediately. “For how long?” “I do not know yet.” “Why?” The simple question nearly broke me. How could I possibly explain any of this to her? So instead I whispered softly:.“Because sometimes adults need distance to think clearly.” Katherine stared at me with growing distress. “You are leaving us?” “No,” I said quickly. “Not forever.” “But you are leaving.” Tears stung sharply behind my eyes again. “Yes.” Her face crumpled slightly.

“Let me help you with your things.” “I don't want your help. I don't want anything from you, except for you to leave me alone. I don't want to be near you or your condemnations. And yes, I suppose right now I am acting like a drama queen but who cares? I won't subject you to my theatrics anymore if you will just kindly go on somewhere else that is not near me.” Kimmy puffs out a hard breath to blow a few strands of flyaway hairs back from her face.

I couldn’t completely withdraw my presence from their lives completely but I could keep my distance. “Look around, Adam. You’ve got Kiara now, you’ve got your happiness. Keep that happiness, take care of it and don’t turn away from it. Don’t make the same mistake I did. If you’ll lose her, you might never get her back ever again.” I let my hand drop and rise from the couch, making my leave. Don’t look back, don’t run to him. Be strong and walk away. Don’t look back. You’re doing the right thing. Am I?

What have I done? Finally, Kane took pity on his Alpha and said, “Nathan, Katia is gone. She said she never wants to see you again. You are no better than the others.”

"And I'm definitely not going to sacrifice my preparation because you need me to be reachable." "It's not about needing you to be reachable. It's about—" I struggled for words. "It's about loving someone who's still there. And you're leaving. You're becoming something so powerful and so distant that there's no room for anyone else." Inka turned away. "Then maybe you should stop waiting around for me to come back," she said quietly. "Because I'm not sure I will." I stood in the library with books scattered everywhere and realized I'd just lost her in a completely different way than I'd feared.

She nodded slowly. “Okay.” Her voice was quieter now. “If that's what you want.” I hated myself. She walked away. I watched her go, every step she took felt like something inside me was being pulled apart. I wanted to call her back. But I didn't. >>>>>>>> Akira's POV I didn't cry, I wanted to. But I didn't. I kept replaying his words in my head. Maybe we need space. Space. After everything we'd been through, I thought we'd become closer. Instead, Kael was pushing me away. I didn't understand why. I walked toward the cafeteria. Justin was sitting alone. He noticed me.
