If I lay here

Chapter 55: If I lay here…

Aiden’s POV

I watched Ashira from afar yet I feel like we are way farther than we already are. She’s been zoning out, looking at nothing without any emotion and then she’ll cry for minutes…or hours.

She had been repeating the same since last night that we arrive to the pack. And it hurts me more.

Elon being her recognized mate already made my knees bent. But seeing her like this sent me straight to hell.

I can’t stand seeing her crying and broken like this but I also can’t take my eyes off her. Even for a second.

“Aiden.”

I didn’t bother to look back, I knew Nick has been lurking around since we got here. Everyone was worried. But I’m beyond them.

I’m afraid.

Scared.

Hopeless.

Each time that I look at Ashira and each narrowed angered eyes look she gave me, I knew I can’t go near her again.

It feels like forever.
