Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

135 Chapter 135

Damien’s POV 1

My fingers trembled as I unfolded the paper, the sound deafening in the quiet nursery. Adrian stood beside

me, but his voice seemed to come from underwater.

The handwriting was definitely Sera’s-that careful script I’d fallen in love with when she used to leave me

*By the time you read this, I’ll be gone. Please don’t look for me. Please don’t try to bring me back. This is the

hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but it’s the right thing. The only thing.*

My heart stopped beating. Actually stopped. The paper shook so violently in my hands I could barely make

out the words.

*I love you. God, Damien, I love you more than I ever thought it was possible to love another person. You

saved me, in every way a person can be saved. You gave me Adrian, you gave me Lily, you gave me a life I

never dreamed I could have.*

*But I can’t be what you need anymore.*

“No,” I whispered, the word torn from my chest. “No, no, no.”

“Daddy?” Adrian tugged on my sleeve. “What’s wrong? Is that from Mama?”
