Chapter 46

“Yea, so many times I just wanted to end it, to escape my life. I actually came close a few times, holding a knife to my wrist with the intention of cutting through my flesh or sitting on the edge of a cliff and thinking about how easy it would be to just…jump” she stated, her pain filled eyes connecting with mine making my wolf howl in pain and for my knuckles to turn white as I clenched them into fists. “Sweetheart-“ I started but she cut me off. “But something was always stopping me from just escaping a world of pain, from seeking a way out of the fate I had been dealt with. My wolf, while she seemed to be dead inside she never pushed me towards death and now I know why. She was waiting for you, Hansel” she finished, her eyes still staring into mine as I instantly had her in my arms. “I am so sorry sweetheart, I should have…if I had….” I stuttered, running my fingers through her hair as I attempted to sooth both myself and my mate.
