The One He Saved
I nod and walk to Olander’s head, sliding my fingers into his hair like he likes, and leaning as close to his ear as I can get.
“I’m here, Olander. I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. I need you and Rahl to fight to come back to me. I’m sorry I never told you I love you, but I do. Azure is fighting hard to get to you, so I need you to fight hard to come back to us. I love you, Olander and if you come back, I’ll happily accept you as my mate. Please. Please, I need you to come back to me. I love you.”
I stand and look at him one more time. He looks so pale and his heart rate is very slow, but he’s alive and, hopefully, he’ll stay that way.
