"B-but Kale," I groaned, attempting to shuffle my body out of his tight grip but of course, his hand around me did not shift an inch.
Instead of answering me, his other hand moved to smoothen the blanket over me. I thought he was not going to say anything. I was sure he was going to leave me in the room and attend to whatever the warrior outside the room was talking about but after a long…a seemingly loong silence between us, he…
"We couldn't feel you." His heavy gaze raised to meet mine. "I couldn't feel you. The mate bond snapped. I thought you…" His throat bobbed as if his next word was too heavy to let out. "I thought you died, Elyssa. I thought I lost you."
Guilt hit my chest in a thousand fold. I opened my mouth in an attempt to say something but nothing…nothing came out. Not even the 'I'm sorry' that was weighing heavily on my tongue. I knew that apologising would not ease the pain that I had caused.
