CHAPTER 188
Who would have thought that she was going to be his mate? The woman his heart, mind and soul belonged to?
He felt as though his heart just got plunged a million times and he let the tears flow down.
He was sorry for his decision but what more could he do? The deed had already been done. Now all he was left with was the bitterness of a decision he made.
Ye he made a difficult situation, now he was going to be left to bear the consequences. Slowly he moved his hand, scared to touch her, too afraid of what might be.
After some time, his fingers finally made contact with her skin and he brushed them lightly against her cheek. "I love you, Jade. I do, I hope you can forgive me."
Xander remained by her side for quite a while, watching over her. It was as though he was scared something would happen to her if he left her side.
