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

Chapter 0346

Peacefully unaware of everyone breaking down around her. She wouldn't want this. She wouldn't want them to live like this. Visiting her everyday, not healing...letting grief suck the life out of them. She was giving, she was healing. Sobs follow as the doctor turns off the monitor, her heart rate flat lining...the machines aren't keeping her alive any more. She was gone.

"My thoughts are with you all." The doctor's head hangs low, as he takes a step back giving us the opportunity to take her beauty in one last time.

Sobs grow to wails.

Even in the corridor, you can hear cries of the hospital staff before howls echo outside. The pack in mourning. She sacrificed her life to keep them safe, to protect them the only way she could. She has paid the ultimate price for their safety.

We quietly watch her, her body remaining still..no noise...just a deafening silence shared amongst us.

Minutes pass and yet I feel no different, that desire to be with her still present.

I can't explain this feeling within me, she was gone...she died days ago...the machine in front of me had flatlined. Her heart no longer beat, her lungs no longer breathed...yet I can't ignore that tug...that pull towards her still exists. And it's growing more and more by the second.

She can't be dead, because I can still feel her...I can still feel that bond between us.
