As much as I ever could

He could scarcely believe he'd ever allowed himself to get this far in love with a girl he barely knew. The fact of the matter was, he should have shunned his feelings from the beginning and there would be significantly less of a problem now. When he'd met her he'd been a child. He should have known that his love would grow, what other option did it have? It had been his decision to fertilize it, to water it and to allow it to blossom, and now he feared he'd let it go too far. No, he didn't just fear it, he knew it. He should have broken these ties long ago, but how was he to know things would go so haywire? For all he knew he could have ended up with Epiphron and lived happily ever after until the end of time. That was a childish way to think. No, Maverick had known all along this would never work, he'd known long ago that his book of life would be written for him. He'd known it the day he'd been named Prince. This was politics. This was his life.

She mumbled a goodbye, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was any worse word to hear at a time like this. He didn't want to say goodbye, but his mind kept telling him to. He had to end things, had to sever whatever this was that they had, so that he could start fresh and clear with Chrysanthe. His bride-to-be deserved that much and more. His father would want it that way, Collision would want it that way, and therefore.. the prince of Seracia wanted it that way. He had no other choice, no other option. "I guess the next time I see you we'll be - we'll be related." The next time he saw her would be the wedding. The next time he saw her he would say his vows and become her brother in law. The next time he saw her, she would be off limits for good. The next time he saw her he would have to try his hardest not to be in love with her.

A decent wolf would have embraced her. A decent wolf might've even invited her in. Maverick had lost all decency. As she moved toward him he froze in his spot, neither pressing into her nor recoiling from her touch. This might be the last time - no, it would be the last time - he ever touched her like this. Sure, a familial greeting would be offered, even a brush of the cheek if it wasn't too difficult, but he would embrace her no more. She pulled away and he made no move to go after her, made no move to move away either, not for a moment. For a moment he just stared into her eyes, lime locking onto cerulean, before he could gaze at her no longer without risking falling apart altogether. In one last glance, he offered her the only words he could. "Goodbye Epiphron," and with that, the Prince pivoted and strolled into Seracia, his heart crumbling with each step.

Exit Maverick.
