If He Had Been With Me Characters Novels & Stories

Matthew's leg was still not fully healed, how could he carry me? I didn't bother opening my eyes to confirm what I felt. The truth was that it didn't matter who brought me in, what matters was that I knew Matthew really loved me. Having his love was enough, I wanted nothing more. Even if Matthew's legs were still the same, I would still be there to support and accompany him. He and I were a family now. Not only did I want him to be my support, but I also wanted me to be able to be his support when he was tired.

We keep walking for who knows how long, I couldn't contain my happiness, my favorite human was walking with me, no human had made me this happy for thousands of years, if only I could pause time right now, this would be great. "Would you, would you stay with me?" What?!

I had missed him deeply. And in that moment, I knew…he would not face this alone. Not with me, not with all of them by his side. For now, that was enough.

But I was too weak, so I let him. "If Fate wasn't so cruel," he continued, "you would have been mine. In the past life and in this one. I wouldn't have shared you with your so-called mates. You would have been mine and mine alone." At the mention of my mates, my heart grew heavy. Gods, I hope they were fine. I hoped they survived. Of course they survived. I would have felt it if one of them died.

I couldn't imagine navigating this treacherous path without Axel by my side. My heart swelled with appreciation, and I steeled myself for the challenges ahead. I was ready to embark on this mission, no matter how daunting it seemed. The prospect of facing unknown dangers and stresses didn't deter me, not with Axel's unwavering support and loyalty. Together, I knew we could overcome anything.

Somehow I had succeeded in convincing him to go along with me to the ends of the world. He had a straight face on and didn't smile as he walked away accompanied by some of his Beta's. They look to approve of his decision to go along with me. They trusted him with their lives and as such now trusted me with their lives.

“Are you–” He cut me off. “I’m fine.” His expression softened as his eyes met mine. “I promise.” His fingers found mine, and they twined together between us. The last chasm had been crossed. There was nothing we could not survive, it seemed. Or maybe our luck just hadn’t yet run out. I tightened my jaw. “Then let’s go.” I twisted around and looked in askance at Medic Olia. “Will you come with us? They might have been hurt on the journey here.”

The room, once filled with tension and darkness, now stood as a testament to the power of resilience and determination. As I looked around, I saw the faces of those who had stood by my side throughout this arduous journey. Alex, my true love and steadfast companion, stood beside me, his eyes filled with admiration and pride. Together, we had faced countless trials and tribulations, and our bond had only grown stronger.

Beatrix Rayton said nothing, he just smiled at me as if to say he was just by my side no matter what happened. From the time we left the room until we started walking toward the dining hall, he did not let go of my hand. But I’m content with that, and at least now I don’t really feel like I’m alone anymore. I have a partner in every problem that comes my way.

It was the reason why he was bound to me. Bond made me his mate. Without it, I’m just... me. Just Sophia. My heart clenches painfully as the doubts swirl around me. I close my eyes, fighting the tears that burn behind my lids. I can feel Mikhail’s steady presence beside me, his hands still gently cradling my face.
