Chapter 137: Weeping For A Strange Man
Reana covered her face with her palms, her body shaking with the force of her sobs, her chest heaving with each ragged breath. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to escape the weight of her feelings.
The dream still lingered in her mind, the red-haired man’s words echoing in her ears like a haunting melody. She felt a deep ache in her chest, a sense of longing that seemed to pierce her very soul.
As she sat there, weeping, Reana felt a gentle touch on her shoulder. "Reana? What’s wrong?"
She said nothing, only turning and burying her face on Ryder’s bare chest as her crying increased.
Ryder was stunned. When was the last time he saw her cry like this?
It was in their first lifetime, after her family was killed by monsters. It was the second time he saw her. The day he knew she was his mate.
"Ryder, my heart hurts." She whispered, her voice muffled by his chest. "I feel his pain." She continued, her arms wrapping tightly around him. "He was so broken, so lost. And, and..."
"Shh..." Ryder whispered softly, one arm wrapped around her naked body, holding her tightly against his chest while his other hand calmly brushed her hair back, soothing her. "It’s okay. It was only a dream."
Her head rattled against his chest, "It doesn’t feel like it. It feels too real. He was hurting so much, Ryder. I, I feel I broke him."
His expression softened as he looked down at her. She clung to him, refusing to even look at him. "Do you want to talk about it?" He whispered.
She didn’t reply.
