Chapter 128 Hopeless

• Asher's POV
• It felt like the world was unraveling around me, and I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t even understand what was happening. The moment I heard the scream, her scream, everything inside me twisted, a sharp pain gripping my heart. It was Willow. I knew it was her. We all knew it was her. There was no mistaking the sound of her distress. The rawness of it, the desperation, it reached right into me like a hand pulling at my insides. She was still alive, but what if that had been her last scream?
• I couldn’t breathe. My brothers, Axel and Aiden, were just as stunned. They heard it too. We all looked at each other, the horror in our eyes unmistakable. No words needed to be said; we all felt it. We were helpless. And with every second that passed, the distance between us and Willow felt like it was growing wider.
