I woke up from snoozing, and found Asher crashed out in the chair next to my bed. He still had not left my side. Despite every reassuring word the doctor could give him, he had chosen not to leave me. We had marked one another last night, so were now officially mates, and I can only say it feels beyond amazing. More than I could ever have imagined. This is what I wanted in life, I had realized while lying there, watching him sleep.
