Mindy and Gideon (2)
Mindy's heart cracked when the heaviness of Gideon's emotions hit her hard, and she realized that her joy of finding a mate doesn't compare to his.
Mindy knew that Shamans are spiritual guides. Werewolves come to them to hear stories and advice related to anything and everything, mates included. She could feel Gideon's pain that accumulated over a long time as he devoted his life to helping many, while he was all alone.
Why was he living in isolation, here in the forest, instead of in the middle of Darkbourne?
No one chooses loneliness; it happens when a person is disappointed with the society.
Gideon saw a lot in his life, and Mindy wished to be one of the people who won't let him down; maybe he could even rely on her.
Mindy gingerly wrapped her arms around Gideon and leaned into him until her face was stuck to his chest.
