Drinking Problems

Xander's POV

The silence that followed after was deafening to say the least, and I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about that. Judging from the fact that I had just blurted out a fragile piece of information, despite knowing the consequences, I kind of saw it coming. If I was being honest, I was tired and fed up with keeping it all to myself.

It was torture, keeping the one thing I wanted literally everyone to know. I had been searching for my mate for years. At one point, I even gave up, and now that I had found her, I had to keep quiet about it. Why? I did it because of Kieran.

Kieran. A tiny pinch made its way to my heart. Even since Kieran left, the vital organ had been cracking bit by bit and it made me wonder just how much more damage it could take.

She had made me promise her that I wasn't going to tell a soul, and yet, I had just blurted it out to Sabrina, and probably my mother, if she was anywhere near here that is.
