Everything slowed down as Desmond ran out of the room and onto the spacious corridor. It felt like forever to him as he rushed to the room where his beloved mate was in. The distance was killing and unknown to him, tears had already found their way out of his eyes.
The cool breeze blew past him and made the curls of his hair dance in the air. Every step he took broke him further.
He could hear distant calls of his name but nothing mattered to him than getting to his mate and holding her in his arms.
He took a short staircase leading up before taking another turn.
By the time he got to the double doors of the room where his mate was, the guards immediately opened the doors for him and he hurried in before coming to a halt when he saw people gather around her bed.
Valeria, Everand, Connery, Sonia, Verna, Spencer, Amelia and Aaron.
Verna was in heavy tears as Spencer consoled her.
