---- Blood smeared her arms where the devices had pierced her skin, but her chest remained still.

Her heart...

silent.

No, no, no! His voice cracked, desperation lacing every word.

Without hesitation, he climbed onto the steel table and placed his hands over her chest.

His fists, so used to violence, pressed down with a gentleness foreign to him.

"Come back little one! Come on! Breathe! he commanded, pressing harder, his strength pushing the life he refused to let go of back into her.

She stays still Her body barely jerking with the force of his push.

Tilting his head back, he took in a deep inhale and then digged his fingers into her pale cheeks, parting her still lips.

He crashes his lips on her and forces air into her lungs.

She was cold, far too cold.

---- eee "You dont get to leave like this," he growled, his forehead pressing against hers for a moment before he resumed the compressions.

"Fight, damn it! Fight like I know you can." Another breath.

Another compression.

But nothing The beeping of the machine in the backdrop, stays as the only sound of a ringing mockery.

Damien was resting, leaning against the rough bark of a gnarled tree, with his eyes closed.

The eerie silence and darkness of the land of darkness stretched endlessly and he found no ways of escaping il.

Tlis hope was dying Maybe it was all a myth.

---- ee Maybe no one was brought here and Lucas was right.

There are no kidnapped woman here.

No life.

No one who needs to be saved.

This was a failed mission.

He has failed everyone.

But then suddenly an excruciating pain snaps in his chest and it felt like an invisible cord has been yanked taut and then....

Cut.

It was severed.

He drops on his knees, clenching his chest and that's when his Cret whispers to him, making his entire world stop that very second Mate is dead ---- eee = Chapter 382 3 hours ago...noveldrama

Zariyan's POV A pin drop silence stretches in the dungeons as most of the occupants were deep asleep.

I adjusts my numb legs and try to close my eyes when I hears that voice....

again With my ear pressed to the stone floor, I could literally feel the tremors every other second.

Most of the nights are soundness, yet some? They are filled with these tremors.

As if something is hitting on the walls, a force powerful enough to make each and every wall of the castle tremble.

And then there are those growls...

they are low...

but again it couldn't be a hallucination.

Tt happens only at night.

And the growls always follow.
