*Vance* Sleeping in my own room has never been so hard. I always felt a pull to Lysa and now knowing without a doubt in my or anyone else's mind that she is my mate, it's like a constant tug-of-war between my heart and my head. My heart tells me to go to her, to hold her, to protect her, to never let her go. But my head tells me to stay away, to respect boundaries and the hesitation from Ember and Blaze. I understand their hesitation, I really do. But me and Lysa have had feelings for each other since the moment we saw each other. I didn't understand it at first, but I knew she was it for me. I just had to wait for her to know it like I did. But now that she knows, I am torn between wanting to be with her and the fear of what could happen if we are together which would in fact piss off he
