Branson POV:
The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life is to walk away from that car with Reena in it. I didn’t turn around as they drove away; I couldn’t. I knew if I did, I wouldn’t be able to let her go. This was already an internal debate I was having. Would she be safer with me, or would it be better for her with Atlas? Honestly, I wasn’t sure either place was completely safe for her. We had my brother and rogues to deal with here, but Atlas had hunters and her ex to worry about in his pack. My worries didn’t come from fear that Atlas wouldn’t or couldn’t protect her, but the fact that I wouldn’t be with her to protect her. She was my mate too and all I wanted was her safe. I couldn’t help but pray that I had made the right choice and that this wasn’t something I would soon regret.
