It was heartbreaking for her to see her mate in such a state and be the reason for his chagrins.
"At this point, I wish we had never met. I wish I had chosen death when it came knocking and you wouldn't have lost your lover or had been betrayed. It's my fault for choosing to survive," Aiko lamented, placing her hands on her face to hide the anguish. The tears pooled in her azure eyes.
From the moment Kanyon had spared her life because of her powers, she knew she was doomed. Aiko had regretted that decision from that day forward.
And now she had contributed to an innocent woman dying, another one being brutally abused and tortured and her mate getting hurt and betrayed in the process.
The burdens of regret kept piling up on her, and her heart was being crushed underneath. The tears in his eyes hurt.
The regrets in his voice hurt too.
Faris's heart squeezed in the worst way hearing her words.
Did she say death?
