“Alexander, snap out of it.” Liam’s voice was sharp as he stormed up to me, ripping me out of my thoughts. “The doctor said she’ll die. Your mate will die. My friend will die. Alexander, if you don’t do something, I’ll fucking kill you.”

I was the one who had forced her to sleep on the opposite side of the mansion and made her eat dinner alone and made her feel like she had nothing and no one.
