Faithful to His Queen

Chapter Five

Alesso P.O.V

"Cam!" I yelled pushing the doors open, searching frantically around the room to calm by beating heart.

Looking around the familiar faces of her family and mine, I spot her lying on her side in the bed, puffed and bruised with an oxygen mask on her.

The sight alone made my heart constrict terribly and my eyes to start tearing up. My baby that I left in smiles is now barely hanging on to her life, can't even breathe on her own. I hate that it took two months too long to find her.

"We'll be outside" my dad said quietly before they left to give us some privacy.

"No! Don't touch me!" she screamed as she back away from me.

"Cam, baby I'm not going to hurt you"

"I know you would never hurt me. But I've been tainted. I'm dirty" she sobbed.

"Camilla!" I yelled at her. She jumped before she looked at me. She knows I never call her full name unless I'm serious.

"You are not dirty. You are the love of my life and my wife and I will never give you up, especially something like this that we can get over together. Now, look at me and see for yourself if I'm disgusted or if I'm dying to touch you right now."

Almost immediately her hand outstretched for me to take hold of and I wasted in time in grabbing it and squeezing it as I hugged her, almost as if I might lose her again.

"It hurts. It hurts everywhere" she sobbed in my arms

"Cam, baby I am so sorry that I couldn't find you fast enough. Look what they did to you. I will find them. I will find them and kill them all. Oh baby, I never wanted to you to be tainted by our world." I stroked her face while smiling sadly at her.

"Baby it's not your-"

"You never listen to me Camilla! I told you to never leave without your guards. I told you six weren't enough. Why don't you ever listen?" I was full on angrily sobbing.

"Babe, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you, I know that now." She smiled at me. She still had that smile that made my heart race.

"I am glad that you found me, no matter how long it took, you still did. It's unfortunate I didn't get more time with you. Always remember Alesso. I love you with every fiber in my body. I loved you before, I love you now and I will continue loving you when I'm gone."

I was too busy absorbing her, observing her body, taking notes of what damages she sustained. Her lips were cracked and busted, her skin, covered in bruises and cuts and her hair was wet and knotted like they just washed it. I was really looking at her when her words hit me like bricks. I didn't understand what she was saying.

"What are you talking about love?" I was beyond confused.

"I love you" she said.

I couldn't understand her sudden declaration until her eyes rolled back and she started shaking like she was having a seizure. The machines started making these noises before she just fell back without moving and she flat lined.

I shot up from my chairs as the realization hit me. It happened so fast. A minute hasn't even passed before she said she loved me. My eyes were already blurry from the tears, my throat lumpy as I started shaking her rapidly.
