From the moment I met you, I knew you were mine. The way your freckles covered your skin, the way the sun sparkled in those warm, brown eyes, your dark hair that hung in waves, the smile that cut me to my core.
You’ve always been gorgeous.
You hated those round-framed glasses, but I loved them. They were a part of who you were and the way your nose crinkled when you smiled always had them falling down so you had to push them back in place.
It was adorable.
Fuck, I’m going to miss seeing that.
It was more than just your looks. You have always been such a sweet soul but also had this crazy playful side that rivaled my brother. I’d always thought you were the perfect blend that complemented our personalities.
You’re all I think about during the bad days I have. It’s kept me going this long, sweetheart.
The one thing I can’t quite come to terms with is the thought of leaving you so soon. I promised you forever, sweetheart, and now the world is making a liar out of me.
Shaye, I need you to keep fighting every day for me. Live your life, make something of it. You’re too bright of a light to dull because of this.
You’re stronger than that. Don’t let my ending be yours, too.
I stopped reading and let out a startled laugh. He’d read my intentions in those final days. Honestly, I should have known he would see right through me. He always did.
Did it change anything for me? I’d already made so many plans to end this on my terms, to join him, but would he hate me?
Fuck.
I sat heavily on the couch and stared at the dying embers in the fireplace. When the emotions had dulled enough to breathe, I continued.
Lake is going to need you now more than ever. He’s always loved you as much as I have. When we first met you, he called dibs first. I just beat him to the punch. There was no way I wasn’t going to make you mine.
Those years we spent together were everything to me. When I got sick, I knew it wouldn’t be easy on you, but it was fucking awful for me, sweetheart.
Knowing that every hug, kiss, or taste of you might be my last? It was torture.
I could fill pages and pages of this letter telling you what you mean to me but I’ve spent every day trying to do just that.
You’re my world, Shaye.
A love like ours is hard to come by and I feel truly grateful that I got to find it before I had to go.
Take care of my parents. They’ll beat themselves up over this, though there was nothing any of us could do. Sometimes the world is just unfair.
I’ve come to terms with my end and I’m going to leave you knowing you’ll have years to live an amazing life.
Though, I do have a secret I can’t keep to myself. I don’t want you to be angry at me for keeping it to myself, but I figured there’d be time to deal with it. Only time became an issue and it was too late.
Lake held himself back for me. He took scent blockers and kept his distance so I could have more time and selfishly keep you all to myself.
If he was blocking his scent, he knew you were his mate. I’m not stupid, just an asshole.
He doesn’t know that I found out, but I found them, heard him talking to a friend.
You will have a pack that will adore you and he is your first step. That thought gives me more peace than I can put into words.
Be kind to him, he’s losing his other half as well. We’ve always been close and had just as many plans for our future.
You’ll be great together. You can fix each other’s broken pieces.
Just don’t forget me, love, and keep living for me.
