Avery POV
“Dakota, I can’t do it.” I said, tears sliding down my face. He looked down at me with sorrow, his hands cupping my shoulders. “My family, I need to go back to Blue River-“
“Avery.” He said. I looked up at him, wiping my tears. “I’m sorry, Avery. You can’t forfeit this challenge. You three are my mates. No one else. We can go see your family afterwards.” I sobbed softly, nodding. He held me against him, and I wrapped my arms around his chest.
It hurts to know Jayden was the one to get killed. It made sense seeing as he wasn’t very aggressive, but my brothers should have been by his side to protect him. Yet, he was so f*****g smart and kind hearted that he didn’t deserve anything bad to happen to him.
I sighed softly, hiccuping. I’d make it through this and get to my family
