Chapter 34

KNIGHT

It had been four fucking hours. Nirvana had received a prophylactic d**g, and she should have improved, at least woke up, but she remained the same.

“Maybe you should go home and get some rest.” Kailin and McKaye arrived earlier. “I’ll stay with her, I promise.”

“No.” I shook my head stubbornly as I watched Nirvana lying unconscious in bed. She had oxygen through her nose, and although her breathing had improved, her heart rate remained low. “I won’t leave her again. I won’t let her out of my sight ever again.”

“You need to nap, cuz. You have to trust me if I say I’ll always be with her.”

“Stop it, Kailin. I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying by her side.”

“I know you’re blaming yourself for what happened, but your property is safe.”

“None of this should happen if I’m more very careful. Suppose she’s bitten by a wolf. At least we know how to treat her. I just let her walk out of the door. Who else should be blamed if not me?
