Xade’s pov
Her words knock the breath out of my lungs. The weight of her stare numbing me to the core. I have to,” I whispered, squeezing her hand tight as fear of losing her consume me. It’s the only way to save you V,” I breathed out, trying to make her understand that this needed to be done.
She shook her head, her eyes teary. “I heard the risk. Please,” she rasped from her throat. “Don’t do it.”
I swallowed hard, weighing the pros and cons of this. I had promised to protect her and her life and our baby’s life was more precious to me than my own. I was ready to sacrifice it all for her. Even if in the end she never forgives me.
I looked away and looked at Xaden. ” Find it quickly,” I demanded and he nods, silently telling Kaylee they should leave now. When they walked out of the room, Avery’s hand loosen around mine.
I turn to her and this time her teary eyes won’t look at me.
Mom whispered shakily while she brushes her hair tenderly.
Oh Avery,”
Avery,” I whispered brokenly when she refuse to spare me a glance. A lone tear slipped from the crack of her eye and I reach up to wipe it away, but she tears her face away as if my touch burns her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
You promised,” she whispered, her voice faint with anguish before
those pretty eyes flick to me and the stare breaks me more than anything. ‘ You promised you’d make me fight this on my own.”
And my heart shatters.
He promised me. He promised he’d let me fight this on my own. Yet here he goes again making decisions on his own.
I saw my words hurt him, tore him as his face crumble but I couldn’t let him sacrifice himself for me once again. Not at the risk of losing so much more than his life.
“I can’t Avery,” his voice cracked. “I can’t just do nothing to save you.”
“And I can’t let you sacrifice everything for me.” I retaliated in a shaky voice. The pain in my body was intense, but there was something at the back of my head that set hope that I could do it.
His eyes teared up even more. “You hold my child in your womb. I can’t lose you both. Not when I just got you back,”
I looked away, tears rolling down my cheeks. I know how he felt. I know that he didn’t want to lose me the same way I didn’t want to lose him. Our fate, why did it have to be this way? Our story cannot end this way.
You won’t,” I said determined, turning to him, my gaze showing how strong and determined I was to survive this on my own. I reach out for his hand, it trembles in my hold but I bring it to my stomach.
You won’t lose us. I promise.
He swallowed and leaned his forehead against mine, his eyes staring deep into my soul as if trying to see my every emotion, my every pain. I close my eyes, breathing in his comforting scent, feeling the warmth of his breath against my skin.
“I love you,” he tore from his lips, his breath brushing against my lips. Then he close the distance between us, his lips landing on mine softly, kissing me with so much emotion I choked on my cry. him. ” Xade,” a gasp,
He doesn’t want to pull away, as if a second away from me and I would wither away, but his mom’s voice grows more urgent and he reluctantly pulls away slightly, looking at her. But her eyes are trained on my neck, exactly where his mark is.
“The mark,” she breathed in awe and Xade’s dad rushed over here. ” What’s happening?” Xadeon questioned in a rush, stopping abruptly when his eyes fall to my neck. “It’s healing.”
