"Torak, I am afraid…" Raine lifted her head to look at her mate. "I am afraid that if I were to die and leave you…"
Tears started falling down from the corner of her eyes. Raine didn't want to leave Torak, but what if that was what it takes to restore peace?
Would she be able to do that? Unfortunately, Raine couldn't foresee it. Yet.
"No. no."Torak hugged Raine protectively, his eyes filled with fear. Fear flashed in his eyes upon hearing what his mate was saying. He couldn't even imagine something like that, let alone if that happened for real, Torak really couldn't breathe agonizing thought of losing his mate. "You will be fine. You will be fine, I will stay by your side, my love… I will always protect you."
Raine sobbed quietly in Torak's embrace until she fell asleep.
However, that night, Torak couldn't even close his eyes, the thought of losing Raine kept him awake and ready to destroy anything that came to threaten his mate.
