Chapter 33

• When I opened my eyes, I was still lying on Dragan's chest. My hand had detached from his. Our connection was severed before I could hear his response. A cry of frustration escaped me and a question immediately tormented me - did I reach him in time? I sat down astride Dragan and looked at him. He was sleeping peacefully, as if nothing could stop him from lying here in the bright sunshine. For a moment, I doubted whether all of this had really happened. I went through the memories I had seen and there were so many deep wounds that I couldn't believe he had lasted until today. My face slowly lowered towards him, hovering just centimeters above him.
• "I am so unspeakably sorry for everything that has happened to you. You've had to deal with betrayal and loss all your life and if I could undo any of it, I would. But it happened and now it weighs on your soul. But despite all the grief, hate and coldness... please don't give up and wake up! Because I am grateful that you were born and that you are here."
• I kissed his lips, but my touch was not returned. It didn't help... I had done everything I could to help him, but apparently my best wasn't good enough or I just wasn't good enough. I broke away from him and left the room again. Showered and changed, I moved to the practice. I grabbed Jenna and visited all the victims of the last attack with her.
