Chapter 75

• Carolina,
• What I am doing right now is too new for me. I had never written a letter to anyone in my life and it feels strange because it seems cheesy, but you make me do cheesy things and what is even stranger is that it doesn't bother me. I was thinking all night, going over and over the things that have happened. You are asleep right now, unaware that I am sitting in the chair in front of you writing this. Writing something I wouldn't have liked to write. But it was necessary to do so.
• I thought about all the danger you have been through because of me in the past year. The times you were hurt, lied to, and almost killed. They were close. I did everything to protect you. Do you know what Paige told me the last time I spoke to her? That day at the lake, when she threw you into the water, I arrived determined to kill her, but before that she said to me: "even if you kill me, Kayler Brown, Carolina will still be a perfect target for your enemies and we both know this will last forever. And with the little gift I gave her, she won't have peace for a long time. So if you kill me at least I'll die happy. Fulfilled. Because I know that at some point she will get tired and leave you. Or you will leave to protect her. Maybe you are mates and destined to be together, but you won't be able to."
