My Second Chance

Sapphire's P.O.V

I sat up, alert when I heard footsteps. I... I sense Graysen's presence, Gwen panicked. It's not him although I smell his scent, Drew frowned. I relaxed as soon as I smelt my mate's delicious and calming scent.

"Maybe it's just a scent close to Graysen's." I mummered. Oh, Gwen muttered. No, it's his scent, Drew insisted.

"No." I whispered, the tears threatening to slip. "Sapph..." He started. I couldn't take it, I couldn't take the pain under his words. I buried my face into his chest and my tears rolled down, free from the wall I build to keep it in. "Sapphire... please tell me. I need to
