Leaving Lilah and Kai was torture, but I had to be a good Alpha and go and be there to represent our pack to the Council, though to be fair my Dad was doing a good job of that. And I knew he was more than capable of dealing with all of the issues that may come up with it, he had been the Alpha of our pack at the end of the day. The real reason I had eventually booked the ticket was Gabe.
Hearing he was hurt was the final straw. I could not just sit up at our pack and await news any longer. I needed to be down there and be there with him. Not that I could physically help him, but I could be with him.
I blamed myself for not guessing he would do this. I have known him since we were kids. I know how his mind works, I should have known he might decide at the last minute he wanted to be there
