And then you let him go

Just over a year ago, you met Ronan O’Callaghan. The soul bond formed immediately. For you, there was little reason to doubt it. You loved him, and over time, that bond became much more than the instinct of two wolves. Ronan felt differently. So he resisted it. For a year. And for a year, you tried to get through to him. You told him you loved him. You sought out conversations, waited for him, and drew hope from every small sign. Sometimes Ronan let you get close, only to pull away again afterward.
