Chapter 139: I’m Sorry, My Mate

Eleonore’s POV

Ronan didn’t follow me as I walked outside of his office and towards the medical wing, where I knew Rhett and Hayden had gone to. I was thankful that Ronan didn’t follow, I wasn’t sure what I would have done or said to him if he did. It wasn’t that I was angry, I realized that Ronan had ultimately saved my life, but…

But to think that there was even a choice that had to be made on whether I deserved to live or die was something I wasn’t sure I could ever accept. Who were they to determine my fate like that? I was a child, barely capable of understanding what was happening around me, and they… they…

“Eleonore?” I looked up to the sound of someone calling my name. It was Rhett. I felt relief wash over me instantly at the sight of him, and I walked towards him on shaky legs as he enveloped me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around Rhett instantly and the two of us stayed there for a moment, not moving or speaking.
