Alpha's Regret: Losing His True Mate

Elodie’s POV~

I noticed her feet were bare.

I lifted her carefully and set her back on the bed, tucking the blanket around her legs.

"How many days will you be staying this time?" I asked.

Liora shook her head. "I don’t know. Dad didn’t say. He just told me to wait here until he comes back."

I nodded quietly. "Mm."

I didn’t ask anything else.

But then Liora suddenly remembered something. She scrambled off the bed and ran to grab her bag.

"Mom! I bought you a gift when I went abroad!"

She pulled out a small crystal ball and held it out to me, her eyes wide and hopeful.

My heart squeezed.

It had been so long since she’d thought to buy me a gift.
