Elena's POV
I wanted to bury my face in his chest and tell him how terrified I was.
But then I remembered my promise from last night—he already had a female he loved. I didn't want to cross that line.
So, I just let him carry me out of that hellhole in silence.
But the second we got into the car, things spiraled.
In the cramped space of the backseat, Zander's thick Alpha scent acted like fuel to the fire of the "Goddess's Tears."
"Mmm..."
A soft, desperate moan escaped my lips. My body felt like it was melting.
"You're bleeding. We need to get you to the hospital for a full check-up..."
Zander said, placing me on the seat. He started to pull away to sit in the front.
It was too much. I couldn't handle the cold. I reached out, hooking my arms around his neck.
"Don't..."
