(Lucas)
The further I drove from my pack the lighter I felt like a weight was slowly being lifted off me and I could breathe for what felt like the first time in forever.
No one told me the mate bond came with all of this stress and pain, I guess it was something they lied about to get everyone else to covet it.
I have never been this self-aware of every action that I’ve done. Growing up, and now working, with my two best friends, I never had anything to hide. I could be truly myself around Cam and Jax, even when it was uncomfortable I knew they would be there for me to help me through whatever it was.
I knew I could be a lot, as my wolf likes to remind me. But even when Cameron rolled his eyes or Jackson got annoyed when he was in Alpha mode, I never felt the pain I feel in the pit
