CHAPTER 43:

This chapter is extra long. For the best effect, while reading this chapter, listen to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi and Can We Kiss Forever by Kina.
Xander’s POV:

Everything around me became a blur. I felt like my lungs were crushed.

Are my eyes playing a cruel joke on me or what?

This isn’t the girl I left in the safety of my room four days ago. What on earth happened? I stared at her limp body.

She was lying in a pool of her own blood.

Her clothes were battered and torn badly, barely covering her up.

I took small steps towards her as I tried to process everything I’m seeing.

When I was a few inches away from her, I fell on my knees and pressed her limp body against mine.

I couldn’t care less about the blood staining my shirt. There were scars everywhere.

Her once white hair was now stained with blood. HER BLOOD.

"J-June?” my voice was shaking and so were my fingers.

I let out a tormented scream of pain and sadness. It was taking everything I had not to break down in tears.

Because I’m a vampire prince doesn’t mean I don’t have emotions. My huge hands caressed her cheeks.

Who would do such an innocent person like her?

What had she done to deserve such cruel treatment? Looking at her like this was ripping my soul out of my body.

I hoped she would open her beautiful eyes and tell me this whole thing was just a way to see if I truly loved her.

I would do anything for her to open her beautiful ocean eyes.

“Hey Xander-” Hunter paused at the sight of everything. I’m having a really hard time processing everything and I can barely hear my brother speak.

My little lamb; the only person that can brighten up my day. Why? Why would anyone do this?

How long has this been happening? I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt someone shaking me.

“Xan you can still save her! Don’t let her die like this” he’s right. What am I still doing here?

Faster than an eye could bat, I was at the castle clinic or should I say hospital.

“Save her or I’ll trade her life for yours” was all I said to the nurses before they placed her on the bed and rushed her to the theater.

I just hope she can make it.

My poor June! How could I have been so foolish as to leave her alone?

I sat on the nearest seat I could find and placed my elbows on my knees and ran my fingers through my hair.

Of course, something like this would happen and I had to be a d*ck head and ignore all the red flags.

“hey Xander is everything ok? And what are you doing here? And why do you have so much blood on your shirt?” Angela sat beside me.

How do I even begin to explain what just happened?

And even if I wanted to, the words wouldn’t come out. Everything is just too horrible to be a nightmare.

June looked like she was barely alive. If it wasn’t for my super hearing, I would think she’s dead.

Hunter and Angela were talking beside me but I was too busy focusing on my heart.
