Ethan
I left the cells and prison grounds swiftly, not acknowledging any of the guards I tore past on my exit. My breathing was still shallow and I could feel the telltale signs of a panic attack, threatening to overtake me. As I made it far enough away where I wouldn't be seen, I doubled over with my hands on my knees trying to run through the breathing exercises my therapist had taught me.
Fuck…what had I done?!
I attacked her...I hurt her...my mate.
I was a monster...and a coward. I had just run away, leaving her there on the ground, in pain and alone.
I had been able to find my fated mate for 9 years and I had just ruined it in 9 seconds. I wanted to go back, to beg for her forgiveness, but I couldn't bear the look of fear she had given me.
I was such a f*****g coward. Two year
