CHAPTER 7

Cassie broke her connection with Jared and caught her breath. Everything had seemed very real. It felt real. She even found herself trying not to stare at Jared’s lips. The kiss was even more real than the one she had with Nate even a moment before. It was just a version of the future that never happened, but she knew what it felt like. She glanced up and caught him staring at her.

“Hey, that wasn’t too bad,” Jared told her.

Cassie shook her head no. She didn’t finish the memory with him in it. She couldn’t. Cassie closed her eyes. She didn’t want him to see the tears she knew would come. He had shown her what she wanted to know. She had to finish her memory for him.

“That wasn’t all I saw then,” Cassie added quietly.

“Did we end up mated?” Jared guessed, more like hoped.

Cassie shook her head no.

“The day after that, you left home looking for a way to be my mate. You never returned. Your father found you later. You had been killed for not staying within the skinwalker borders. I never saw you alive again. You died because I never told you to go away. You died because I held on and didn’t let you go like Nate. You died because of me.”

The tears came as she felt the memory and saw him in a casket. It never came to be, but she knew deep down that was Jared’s fate. He was always going to die if he didn’t give her up. It was her fault. She led him on. She always kissed him back. If she hadn’t done that, if she had stayed away as she had from Nate like his father had asked, Jared would have moved on. Jared would have found a mate, and he would have been happy. Jared would have lived.

“That’s why I went right home after the festival and wrote you that letter. I was saying good-bye because I knew you wouldn’t let me go otherwise. I had to be strong enough. I had to let you go so you wouldn’t die. I never had a vision like that before, but I knew your fate was death if you stayed with me.”

“But that was just one version of the future. Obviously, there were other possibilities,” Jared tried to reason.

“Possibilities? Yes, always. But I knew that if I didn’t let go of you, then you would die.” Cassie opened her wet eyes to look at him.

The vision had felt real, and she remembered every detail. She could see his dead body. She remembered touching his dead face. It was too much to bear. Even just thinking of it hurt. She had loved him.

She finally understood the mating bond. She had truly loved both him and Nate at one time. She knew why she was able to bond to them now. Her mind might not have remembered, but fate did. Jared and Nate were once the most important people in her life.

“But I’m here now,” Jared added, wiping away a tear.
