*King Edric’s POV* The moment that I laid my eyes on my mate, I knew that it was love at first sight. “Mate.” We said in unison as we got lost in each other’s eyes, but then she closed her eyes. I saw pain, causing my wolf to whimper. He rarely whimpered. “I-I have to go.” She said as her eyes opened slowly. Why was she in pain? Why did her eyes scream that she needed saving? How did she get here? My mind was going crazy with a million questions. I barely registered Victoria’s mate, helping her up. As soon as I felt that Victoria and her mate had walked out, I walked closer to my mate. I slightly cringed at the intense smell of my poor sister’s vomit. My mate shook her head in panic. “Please don’t hurt me.” She whimpered. “What has she gone through that has her like that?”
