Chapter 168

Endless tears of despair streamed down Felix's face, and he hugged Mercedes's body, desperately praying, hoping for a miracle. If it meant exchanging his life for hers, he would, in a heartbeat, but that was not possible.

“Her body is so cold...” he cried, hugging her tighter in an attempt to warn her up. There was blood on her face, her lips turned blue, and her skin was white. Felix tried to wipe off the blood stain on her face. She barely looked like herself. She had no color and her turned white. She was no longer the Mercedes he remembered. He remembered that it's been a while since he had seen that beautiful smile or genuine happiness on her face. He wasn't there when she needed him the most. Despite being her mate, he was of no use to her when it mattered. She had to go through the most difficult trials of her life by herself, and she had the weight of the realms put on her shoulders. She was all alone. Felix felt all those thoughts crush him.
