Chapter 46

• I shouldn’t have listened to her when she said she was fine. I should have insisted or perhaps found a way to ensure my mate’s safety. As expected, I shouldn’t have deluded myself into thinking her will alone could turn things around. Why did I choose to trust a goddess who had proven herself unreliable when I could have made a decision to stop this myself?
• It had been three days since my mate fell right in front of me and I could still taste the horror that coated my tongue and gripped my muscles as I rushed to stop her from biting her head against the table while fearing that I would not get to her on time. When she could not stomach anything even after twenty-four hours of throwing up water and calling it poison, we'd been preparing to go to the hospital when she suddenly collapsed.
