Journey

Gideon could not quite believe what he was hearing coming out from his mate's mouth. The disbelief in his eyes was so intense that he was at a loss for words and could only stare back at Vera who was now on the verge of crying. Her bright blue eyes were already briming with tears just waiting to spill over.

"Then you…" she choked, and a tear finally fell from the corners of her eyes and onto her cheeks. "You sent me away and after that…"

Vera wiped her tears and took a deep breath to stop herself from crying. "After that, you were gone. And all I could do was cry. I think our future…" fat tears fell from her eyes again, pain and fear flooding her pale blue orbs, "I think our future ended there, Gideon."
