Chapter 65 Sergio

• I stood in the kitchen for a moment after my sister had left the room, giving me a sad glance as she did, filling my body with guilt. I was still in shock at how my brother had acted, and now my sister was making me feel guilty too? I needed to compose myself. That was not how I had wanted things to go. I wanted them to be happy for me. Was that too much to ask? This was one of the biggest moments of my life. It hurt they were not sharing my excitement. Yes, I saw Ana was trying to be happy for me, and to some degree she had attempted to defend me, but I could also feel her pain, not to mention see the pained expression upon her face.
• And then there was my brother. One of my closest friends. I had dreaded telling him. And I think this had been the reason why. He and I had trained alongside one another as warriors. Brothers in arms as well as in blood. He saw this as a betrayal to that bond. But it wasn't that, or I did not view it that way. We would always have that connection. I had to do all I could to make my matebond work. We were only blessed with one fated mate. Yet, I hated the look upon his face. And the bitterness within his voice had speared me through the heart. This was not how it should be.
• I don’t know why I had been hopeful they could be happy for me. This was me finding my fated mate after all. They did not feel the sheer exhilaration and happiness about it that I did. They did not feel the pull towards Tatiana and the need to be with her; so how could I expect them to understand my need to do all I could to make it work? But my brother seemed almost disappointed in me for making the decision to leave our pack. He seemed appalled at my willingness to leave in order to be with her. Could they not understand the predicament I found myself in? That was all I asked for.
