Alaric's POV
Two hours of agony passed by, in what felt like a decade as those flashes of the accident kept flooding my mind. Her small body lying lifeless on my arms, I had never felt so useless in my life. I should have been the one to protect her, keep her safe for I knew she meant so much to me. No, she had crept in slowly in my heart and she meant the world to me now. I could not take it if anything happened to her. I was a mess. Fear, anger, anguish and most of all, heartbreak, as I watched the operating room's lights still on. How long had it been since I felt such complex emotions? And for a woman to add to the matter. But for her, and with her, anything was possible.
"You have to be fine, stupid woman, else I won't forgive you." I murmured to myself taking slow steps towards the operating room door. I desperately wanted to see her, be by her side every single moment and make she sure stayed alive.
