Chapter 59 Sergio

• I saw the look of shock upon my brother and sister’s faces. Of course, I knew it would not be the news they expected to hear. And this was not the way I had wanted to tell them. I had wanted to break it to them gently...
• “You can’t be serious.” Rico’s voice sounded angry, if anything. “We are part of the elite warriors back home, Gio. Why would you give that up? She should be coming to the pack to be with you. She realizes that, right?”
• I found myself holding back so much anger at his words. Trying hard to tell myself it was just shock that was making him think like that. But I wasn’t about to go head-to-head with my brother over this. “She is my mate, that is why I would give that up, Rico. I don’t expect you to understand that until you meet yours. The pull you feel to your mate is exactly as they tell you when we learn of fated mates. I need to be with her. I cannot stomach the thought of leaving her here now I have met her. Now I know that she is mine. She takes care of her mother here. She said she is needed here, and could not leave. So, I decided I would leave. I don’t expect you to understand. I made the choice. She never asked. I don't think she ever would have. It was all my choice. And that is the decision that matters. I am willing to make that sacrifice. I can be part of the warriors here. It isn't like I stop being a warrior just because I choose my mate.”
