CHAPTER 19 Attack

  Ellissa's POV 

  Zara's words hung in the air, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt wash over me. How could I have kept such an important secret from Eden, the one person I loved and trusted more than anyone else? I knew I had to explain myself to try and make him understand. But first, I needed to gather my thoughts.

  "I am sorry," I said I still couldn't open my eyes. I could hear everything they were saying about how worried and concerned he was about my condition. It was okay that he didn't want to give me his mark; I deserve it.

  "No, at this moment, you don't need to be sorry." I had Zara's voice as she replied to me, I guess, with my voice trembling. "I am sorry. I should have told him the truth, but I was so afraid of what he would think of me."
