Memories (Part I)

Gideon began to see the past, like they were a dream flashing before his eyes. And this past, as he continued watching, he realised that it was not his. This recollection of occurrences did not belong to him. It was hers… Leah's. It was with this realisation that he was taken aback. Why? Why was he seeing Leah's past in this moment? Was he not getting his mating bond with Vera? So why was he seeing the past related to Leah?

Guilt rose within him again, and this time, it crashed into him, much stronger than before. Though he had decided that he would leave his past behind, to move on from Leah as she belonged with his past, he could not help but be affected when something like this happened. The fact that he was seeing Leah's past and not one of his mate's threw his mind and heart into utter confusion.
