I woke feeling really hot, I rub my face as I squint my eyes adjusting to the light in the room.

My body feels heavy and my muscles are slightly sore, I look out the window as I see the sun shinning and feel the warmth of the light. I hear someone breathe out softly as i glance in the direction and I see Ethan.

He's sitting on the white leather couch across from me with his head in his hands. Everything of what happened suddenly comes crashing back on me as I feel my heart quicken.

What do I do now? Do I stay here knowing this man my mate hates me. He sure as hell proved that he does this morning. I feel an empty ness in my heart as the realisation that I don't believe my mate can possible ever love me..

I watch him as his head whips up looking back at me with wide eyes. Probably hearing my heart changing and beating to fasts for comfort.

He jumps up suddenly appearing next to me making me flinch back from him. Not sure if it was from the sudden movement or that I'm actually just afraid of him.

He closes his eyes as I watch a pained expression fall over his face before he re opens them and sits on the edge of the bed next to me grabbing my hand so gently like at any moment I could break.

I take a deep breath smelling the sweet scent of my mate making my heart slow down to a regular pace.

"Mia" his voice is soft as he looks down on me

"I'm sorry.." he says frowning at his owns words

He looks almost like he's struggling and the words were hard to say

I squeeze his hand to try an comfort him but I can't bring myself to speak. I actually don't even know what to say I feel torn and broken like he has my heart yet he's just throwing it about as it gets damaged the more he holds it.

We sit there staring at each other neither of us saying a word just the unspoken emotions dancing behind our eyes as we look at each other.

He's looking at me as if he's looking at me for the first time yet I can't bring myself to speak or feel comfort from his closeness. I feel myself shutting down as a stray tear rolls down my cheek.

It's happened, I have finally broke

He has broken me

I just sit there looking at him as i begin to feel nothing just an emptiness surrounding me the scent of my mate slowly fading from my reach

"Mia"

Gees his face is so beautiful

"Don't go there Mia" he demands with a hint of anger in his tone

Though at the moment it doesn't seem to faze me

I just sit there watching him like I'm not even here like I'm a third person looking at him. The light is slowly fading as the room is beginning to darken but for some reason it interests me, I feel my eyes move as I look at the room around me feeling comforted by the silence and dark atmosphere around us

"Mia!!"he shouts at me as his grip tightens around my hand making me flinch at the outburst

Snapping me back to focus on him as I squint my eyes at the sudden brightness of the light again

"Fuck"

I hear him say as he hangs his head down slowly shaking it as if he's trying to shake his thoughts

"You need to fight it, you need to stay away from the dark" he says rushing his words out

I frown at him. What is he on about could he see what i saw? Did it actually happen or was I imagining it? And stay away from the dark I mentally roll my eyes
