"Yeah. Too bad i trusted the wrong person." Why did he trust Hayley to get a witch? Why didn't he talk to Bonnie? Tyler's asked himself all these questions about a million different times and he can't find any answers to them. No matter what, it'll always feel like he could have done more. That he should have. He could of prevented this somehow.

He had been their chosen leader. Their alpha. For all that meant.

They grow silent, and though the other boy doesn't say anything, Tyler imagines he has to be thinking about his own situation.

"We'll figure something out. If there's a way to break sire bonds, there's a way for you to learn to control the mark or whatever."

Tyler has to believe that. Has to believe somewhere, there's still control for Jeremy. He knows how it feels to have that ripped away. To not even know what actions are yours anymore. How do you own something like that? There has to be a solution, an answer, something.

At the gratitude, Tyler shrugs a little. "I couldn't imagine not doing it."

No one really helped him when he was sired. Jeremy gave him the benefit of the doubt, which is more than can be said about anyone else really but ultimately, Tyler had been alone with the sire bond.

He doesn't want anyone else going through that.
