His mother's eyes remained fixed on her mate as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. For a moment, she couldn't bring herself to breathe. Everything around her became a blur as she stared at the blood staining the bed and the lifeless body of the man she had spent most of her life with.
"What have you done, Adrian?" she asked, her trembling voice barely above a whisper before it broke completely.
She rushed to her mate's side and dropped to her knees beside the bed. Her hands shook violently as she reached for him. When she got close enough, she realized he wasn't moving. She gently pushed his shoulder, hoping he would respond, but nothing happened. His eyes remained wide open, staring into nothingness.
Jane pushed him harder, her sobs becoming louder with every passing second.
