A new way out.

Gaius’s POV

With my heart so heavy, I walked away from my mate.

Even though it broke my heart to leave her standing in the dark, I knew that there was little to nothing else I could do. Even if I wasn’t feeling guilty that she should have belonged to my brother, I knew that I needed to give her space and enough time for her to forget her ex husband.

At the thought of that man who had us all pent up, my anger returned and I hissed loudly.

“What is it?” I heard Lisa ask.

I paused from my walking and looked up, only to see that I was already halfway through the room. I couldn’t believe that I had been so angry and lost in thought that I hadn’t even figured out that I was walking and would have hit the wall if Lisa had not spoken up.

“She is still refusing to get the vital evidence for us from her dad?” She asked again when I didn’t answer the first question. I knew that the ‘she’ in this context was only referring to Evelyn.

Evelyn.

The name that made me both happy and furious.
