The sickened luna’s last chance

Chapter 116

Goddess, what a bloody fucking fool I was!

“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.”

As he spoke, his fangs flashed, eyes glowing a dangerous hue. My own wolf bristled in response. The threat was clear enough even if he hadn’t said the words.

“But she doesn’t want me to mark her. She asked for a divorce.”

“Because she thinks you don’t want her!” Liam’s voice rose, then he caught himself and lowered it again. “Alexander, she’s been dying for months, and she thinks you hate her. Of course she asked for a divorce. She knew you wouldn’t mark her, so she chose the other option.”

Dammit. For five years, I’d kept my distance because I couldn’t trust her, couldn’t risk letting her close. But now, finding out that my distance had led to potentially losing her permanently

“I’ll talk to her,” I said. “I’ll see what she wants, and whatever it is, I’ll do it.”

This was my fucking fault, after all. I was the one who had distanced myself from Ella for five years. I was the one who had refused to mark her. 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.
