Lina's POV
My composure cracked slightly, but I forced steel back into my voice. "Jasper! Let go!"
"I can't. I let go once before and you disappeared." His fingers tightened impossibly. "I can't make that mistake again."
"Lina, I won't let go this time."
"When that silver knife went into me, you were all I could think about. If I died, who would protect my Lina? If I died... would you be sad? Would you remember me sometimes?"
"Lina, I don't want to die. Because I still love you. I want to protect you. I want everything to be like it was before between us."
Sweat poured down his face in rivers now. His voice was getting weaker, more strained.
"Lina, I'm begging you..." The proud Alpha heir was literally begging. "Forget him. Please. Can we start over? Please?"
