“I made a mistake, but I still love you and I refuse to give up on us.”
Nixon watched her for a while. He enjoyed seeing how she existed in the world when she went unbothered. She seemed at peace, as much as anyone could be these days. The world they knew had ended. Everyone close to them had died either before it all fell apart or somewhere during the collapse. Worst of all they hadn’t been there for each other
When they were teens they’d sworn their love to each other. They’d promised to put each other above all else. Even their own respective responsibilities. He’d sworn she was more important than his pack and she’d been adamant that he was above her coven. When push came to shove though, when it was time to hold true to those whispered promises, they both faltered and from there their relationship disintegrated fast. Too fast for either of them to realize, to change and then graduation was upon them. They’d parted without so much as a good bye.
He scolded himself now. How could he have been so dumb? So stubborn? His pride had stopped him from reaching out no matter how much his soul string tugged towards her. After losing his father he went on and became the Alpha of his pack and the days had turned into weeks, the weeks to months, and the months to years. There had been periods where he could keep his thoughts about her at bay but she always managed to slip into his dreams.
There was nothing to keep them apart now. The end of civilization had brought the fall of the pack, the disbanding of her coven, it brought humans to Wylder, and new uncharted challenges into the very fabric of their existence. He knew one thing though - this time he would not falter.
His steps brought him upon her and she jumped a foot off the ground when he cleared his throat. She scolded him as she always did for sneaking up on her. He didn’t argue this time, only slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. His brown eyes held hers and his voice was firm and sure. “I made a mistake, but I still love you and I refuse to give up on us.”
He was about to kiss her when he heard the blood curdling scream. “Go. Be safe” She nodded.
He stole a moment and kissed her hard, his lips crashed against hers with the years of longing for her flowing through the kiss. He wasn’t leaving her to wonder where she stood in his life any more.This time he wanted her to be as sure as he was that she was his priority.
