“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out.

Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.”

The air was heavy with the scent of herbs, some dried, some freshly ground, but all scattered across every surface in the room. Bowls filled with water. Bloodstained cloths tossed into corners.

Cain sat on the edge of the bed, his hand trembling as he took out another cloth. He'd been repeating the same motion for hours, wiping her skin clean, patting her dry, whispering her name even though she never answered.

He looked at her now, her body so still it scared him. She looked like she was only sleeping. But he knew better.
