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.
Only Lucianna can come near her. The memories she had with me seems to be altered based on Lucianna’s observation. So technically, Ashira don’t remember me.
At all.
“Ash is not eating since we arrive and it’s almost night now.”
Nick is right and it seems to me that my mate is trying to kill herself.
The effects of losing a mate is too much for her, she’s drowning herself into a darkness that didn’t even exist. A darkness made for her to suffer, and for me to die alive.
“Where’s Luce?” I looked back at Ashira and right now she’s crying again, sobbing while hugging her arms in her chest.
I sighed as my heart was pinched by that sight.
“She is with Zynia right now at the basement. Aren’t you supposed to talk with Z?”
“Later.”
I know I need to but I can’t keep my eyes off her. Not now. Not yet.
“You’ve been saying that since last night, Aiden. And you are still not moving from where you stand. Should I ask Zynia to come up?”
“No!”
We were both taken aback when I shouted. I quickly look at Ashira’s way to see if she heard us but she’s not paying any attention to us at all.
She has stopped sobbing but she’s zoning off again. I sighed. She is so lost in her thoughts.
