Gideon POV

Gideon POV

As much as I want to embrace my mate everytime I see her sad, I can't do it. I am afraid that my body and feelings will betray me and I will end up telling her that she's my mate and that I want her so badly that it is hurting.

I no longer know if my decision of staying away was a good one or a punishment to myself and her.

I don't miss joining them for breakfast so that I can get a glimpse of her beautiful face, the same face that has been haunting me at night for the past few days.

I had grown so used to sleeping beside her that I was no longer able to sleep at night.

The only thing occupying my mind is my mate.

I am pretty sure that if I didn't get to at least see her twice a day, I would have gone nuts at this point. She's the only thing keeping my sanity together.

There's not a moment I have not thought about going back to her and confessing everything to her but each time,I manage to hold back myself.

My Beta Leo has been pressing me to tell him what happened between
