She was everything all at once.
She was powerful…
And beautiful
She walked a long broken road alone
The epitome of a lone wolf
She was a fighter
A survivor
Her green eyes sparkled with an intensity and fire that drove him insane
They started off as friends and ended up wanting more
He wanted more
But he couldn't
She was having his brother's child
His vengeful brother would kill her without a second thought
He couldn't do that to her
He could not let that happen
He refused to let her fate end in the same way as Celeste
So he would keep his distance
Protect her like a best friend would
And love her from both afar and in secret
