章節 48: Chapter 48

My heart leap into my throat as I became fully aware that my mate was here. Xavier was finally here.

I quickly sat up and searched the darkened room. The only light that filled the room was the light from outside coming through the window.

My eyes finally landed on a darkened figure sitting in a chair in one of the corners of the room. My heart beat picked up and I almost forgot all about the pain that was slowly coming back.

"Xavier," I said and as soon as I said that I felt a sharp pain all over my body. I bent over and cried out instantly. I squeezed my eyes shut but opened them when I felt his warm comforting touch.

Xavier was besides me, touching my bare arm soothingly. I almost cried out at his touch. It felt as if I hadn't felt it in forever and the fact that he managed to soothe my pain, even slightly was more than enough for me.

"Xavier," I said again, feeling as if I'd burst into tears at any moment, "you're here," I choked out.
