By the ti we reached the hospital, I was barely holding myself together anymore.
The alcohol made my emotions even more unstable. I felt angry and I also missed her.
Ken kept trying to talk down while we entered the elevator.
“Please don’t scare her,” he muttered tiredly.
I laughed bitterly. “Too late for that.”
Noelle crossed her arms beside him. “If this becos violent, I’m knocking you unconscious myself.”
The elevator doors opened a second later.
I imdiately walked out toward her ward. Ken cursed quietly behind .
I reached her door and shoved it open imdiately.
Sophia startled violently in bed. Her wide eyes locked onto mine instantly.
For one second, neither of us moved.
“Sophia.” I whispered.
She imdiately sat up straighter against the pillows. “Zade-”
Before she could finish speaking, I walked in and grabbed both her wrists and pinned her gently against the bed beneath .
The movent shocked her completely.
Patricia wasn’t there tonight. Luckily, we were alone.
My breathing beca heavy while staring down at her.
Goddess, I missed her so much it physically hurt.
Sophia stared up at with wide eyes. “You’re drunk.”
“Yes.”
The word ca out rough.
“Let go of ,” she whispered shakily.
“No.”
Her heartbeat was racing now. I could feel it. Mine too.
Pain burned through my chest while looking at her face. Her eyes still looked slightly swollen from crying earlier.
She really had cried. That realization shattered sothing else inside completely.
“You betrayed ,” I whispered brokenly.
Sophia froze “What?”
“You stood there and said I ant nothing to you.”
I felt my throat go tight now. My chest was hurting.
I hated this. I hated feeling this weak, but I couldn’t stop anymore.
“You said last night didn’t count,” I continued “Do you know what that did to ?”
Sophia’s breathing beca shaky beneath .
My wolf howled painfully inside my head.
“Zade...”
“What am I to you?” I demanded.
Sophia stared at silently.
I tightened my grip around her wrists slightly without hurting her. “Tell .”
“You’re drunk,” she whispered weakly again.
“I don’t care.”
“You should go rest.”
“No. I need you to answer .”
Sophia swallowed hard.
My chest hurt so badly it beca difficult breathing properly. The alcohol, emotional damage, and bond together were ripping apart from the inside.
“You forgot the promise” I whispered suddenly.
Sophia frowned “What promise?”
And just like that...sothing inside broke completely. It was because she genuinely didn’t rember.
My wolf went deathly quiet.
All the anger inside suddenly disappeared. It beca replaced by sothing far worse - heartbreak. Real heartbreak.
I slowly released her wrists.
Sophia sat up carefully while staring at in confusion and concern now. “Zade...”
I stepped backward from the bed before she could touch .
My vision blurred slightly, not from alcohol - from tears.
Damn it.
I turned my face away before she could see properly but it was too late.
Sophia had already seen the tears gathering in my eyes.
“I’m such an idiot,” I laughed bitterly.
“Zade, what are you talking about?”
I shook my head “Forget it.”
My wolf sounded shattered now. She forgot us.
Pain crashed through my chest so violently that I physically staggered backward slightly.
Sophia looked alard imdiately. “Hey-”
“Don’t.”
My voice broke completely that ti.
Then finally, I forced myself to look at her one last ti.
The sight nearly destroyed again instantly.
Because despite everything... despite the cruel words, I still loved her. And that was the worst part.
I swallowed painfully before stepping toward the door.
“You should never rember it again,” I said quietly.
Sophia froze. “What?”
But I didn’t answer, because if I stayed any longer... I was going to completely fall apart in front of her.
So without looking back again, I left
