She needed me.
That was it.
That was the whole world.
My entire world fit inside my arms.
And right now, my world was falling apart.
“Look at me, Kotionek.”

So was I.
Because there was no enemy in front of me.
No body to break.
No throat to tear open.
Just my mate disappearing inside pain I couldn’t touch.
Another kiss.
Another.
My hand buried itself in her hair, careful with her red fiery curls, holding her as if I could anchor her by touch alone. I tried to push everything through the bond. My love. My strength. My warmth. Every ugly, possessive, devoted part of me.
I gave it all to her.
