When I had stopped myself crying once again, I left the room, closed the door behind me and dragged myself through the castle with little motivation to do anything.
A few doors down from Connor's room was a group of soldiers. It wasn't until I got further down the hall that I realized who was talking to them.
My mate instantly sensed me, dismissed his soldiers before checking me up and down with a concerned expression.
We stood silently for a few moments, neither of us knowing what to say.
"Can I travel with Luca?" I asked quietly.
He paused for a brief moment before nodding.
"I don't expect you to forgive me but I want you to know that I've never regretted anything more in my life," he explained in a soft tone.
I nodded.
"... Are you okay?" He added.
"I've been better," I whispered before walking past him and towards the exit of the castle, Connor's belongings still in my arms.
