Nomad

I wanted to stay but left to keep her safe, only to return with a world of danger.
I'm a wanderer with no roots and no future.
She's a nurturer with dreams of a home filled with family.
We never stood a chance.
Or at least that's what I tell myself.
I left her.
No note.
No text or call.
No explanation.
It had to be like that-the only way to keep her safe.
Until danger drags me back into town and my worst fear comes true.
Willow's life is in the hands of a ruthless bully.
While we race to uncover my family's deadly secrets and end the threat, her distrust eats at me.
I can't blame her.
I lied to her, broke her trust, maybe even her heart, though I did it for the right reasons. Determined to do everything in my power to protect her, I'm forced to face a bitter truth.
I don't deserve her and she may never forgive me, but I can't walk away.
