If He Had Been With Me Novels & Stories

“ Now, I wish that I had stayed. Maybe I could’ve prevented this from happening.” Hmm. This was news to me. I didn’t know that he was there. Before I could say anything else, the nurse walked in.

It torments me that I was not even with him… maybe if I was I could have helped him or at least died trying. This means that I would not be able to see his soft kind eyes, filled with unconditional love for me. I would not be able to hear this deep voice uttering only the kindest words to me. I would not be able to embrace in one of his warm fatherly hugs during my happiest and saddest times. I would not be able to cry on his shoulder now when I need to the most.

I wasn’t planning on ever complying. “I wouldn’t worry about it. You’d have to be there and we’re not going back.” He shifted and I got on his back. I wasn’t sure where our journey together would take us next. I’d go anywhere with him and he’d do anything for me. I knew that for sure now.

“I’ll wait here for you.” He turned, tilting his head, his eyes hitting mine with a million questions. “You said you were coming with me.” Well, would you look at that? He was right. I did say that. I meant I would come with him to the hospital, but I couldn’t leave him alone now. Not if he really wanted me with him, which it sure seemed like he did. “Okay.” Without another word, he opened the door and tugged me through it with him. I sucked in a sharp breath at the sight waiting for us on the other side.

But as long as Belle was with me, I knew I could face whatever came our way. And maybe, just maybe, we’d find a way to build something lasting out of the chaos.

If I hadn't known these things and what had happened today, I probably would have been willing to accept him. What a pity. There were no ifs.

She would have been with me. I looked at Lukman, grateful for the opportunity that had dropped on my lap, and I wasn't going to waste it.

If only I had stayed, I wouldn’t have lost her. I just lost my mate. Valerie was not where I’d left her. I just lost my mate.

He explained, while I nodded. "If I was a target like you said, then that was the reason why I should have stayed with you. Had it been one of them had gone after me while you were there with your Beta, what then would you have said?" I demanded, and I closed my eyes. Because of him I have lacked interest in the movie I had been watching. "Not at all, nothing of that sort could have happened. You had Jack with you and some of my fighters are here as well. So nothing could have happened." He said, and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

What if he did and wasn’t Richard anymore? I wasn’t strong enough. How could I cope without Richard? How could I live without him? I needed him back.
