Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

0034

Chapter Kaia POV

I was struggling to sleep, my mind was completely on what had happened to Rosa and I found it hard to escape the memories of her haunting cries as the doctor checked her.

I held onto her throughout, I had only just met the girl but something hit home with me about what she had been through.

I kept hearing her cries throughout the rest of the day as echoes replaying in my ears. Nausea completely taking over me plenty of times.
