Wes's POV
Separating from Mish feels wrong with only hours left between us, but as Jessa pushes me out the door, I relent.
Our day together has been one I wish to repeat for the rest of my years.
I love you... Mish... Mish loves me.
The connection between us is growing and my yearning for her, her touch, her mere presence is also growing, and it has me wincing as I lean against the wall just outside her door.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I have to say goodbye.
Jiren.
Kyan.
Luther.
Patrick.
I link each of them before moving quickly down to my office myself.
The four that meet me there are part of the twelve already defined as my inner circle once I am named Alpha. But these are the four I trust most, because even if I dislike Kyan as a person, his loyalty and work ethic are unmatched.
