If He Had Been With Me Characters Novels & Stories

His eyes softened—just a little—and that tiny shift nearly destroyed me. We walked into the warehouse grounds together. And for once, I didn’t feel like I was following Ezreal. I felt like I belonged beside him.

His selflessness and love overwhelmed me. "You're always here for me," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Thank you for staying with me." Who knows how it would have been if I had no one with me? Jonathan had always been the one standing by my side. With him lying lifeless on the bed, who would have done this for me? I might have gone down into the pit before anyone would know I had gotten lost.

He said and u nodded If it were up to me, I would have raced there in no time and if everyone is getting killed, I would have died with them too. I stared at him with a smile on my face when my eyes met her, it’s good I have him by my side, it was getting lonely, not being able to have anything else or anyone by my side. I was pulled out of my thoughts when we heard the noise again ms this time he stared at me; he knew that we had heard the same thing and he helped me up as we headed toward the window.

It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a promise, heavy, deliberate, like he meant it whether I wanted it or not. Then he turned and headed out, the other two falling in step behind him. The door closed. And the room felt colder without them. I exhaled slowly and stared at the ceiling again. I didn’t know who he was. I didn’t know why I had a mate bond with him. And honestly… I didn’t care. Not right now. All I cared about was that I was alive.

We turned a corner and started making our way back to the castle. “Elizabeth, I want you to know that I’m all in. I know the mate bond is the reason we found each other, but I just have to tell you that no matter what hurdles we may face, I’m there. I will be right by your side through it all.” He stopped walking and looked at me. I was stunned into silence for just a moment. “What made you say that?” I frowned and he sighed deeply.

It felt like he was finally paying attention, like maybe he was ready to be a part of this. "You didn’t have to come with me," I said, glancing up at him. "I could've managed alone." Kai shrugged, his hands casually shoved in his pockets as he walked alongside me. "I wanted to," he said, his voice surprisingly soft. "It's... my child too."

He stutters “I know with you by my side. I will find my ground, but the thought of seeing her with him it’s just…” She shook his head as I bit my lower lip. I know he would do it for me, but what if he were there? He, my tormentor. My mate.

Victor might be fiercely independent, but he now knew that I would always be there for him, ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. And as our footsteps echoed in harmony, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be a part of his life. Much later on, my friends and I caught up with each other.

he determinedly stated, nodding his head in brief movements, too. "I will come with you." My interruption caused him to roll his eyes at me. "Why don’t you stay at home and take care of your precious mate?" He taunted me, his beautiful eyes darting around in circles. "Thank you for your advice, but I am coming with you. And if you dared go alone, I go alone too," I shrugged, watching him close his eyes to take a moment. "I am sorry, but this is not how I have imagined you to be." His comment came from the public representation of my character in the past.

I didn't mean to be short with him, but I wasn't exactly a hundred percent. So, he shot back, they have company. The image of Rupe and Simon walking side-by-side with Jean Marc and Kristophe was enough to shove all of my crap down and send me running. ***
