---- Chapter 473 Alexias heart hammered in her chest as she clutched Damiens cold, lifeless hand.


    His skin was pale, his breaths shallow, barely existent.


    Her palms rub his frantically, a futile attempt to warm his freezing hands whose warmth was fading, slipping away like grains of sand through her fingers.


    Damien, she whispered, her voice trembling.


    She leaned closer, brushing a damp strand of hair from his forehead.


    Please, wake up.


    Her hands trembled as she reached for the washcloth, soaking it again and dabbing it against his forehead The cloth felt heavier than before, weighted by the despair sinking into her heart.


    Her hands trembled and her vision gets hazy with her own tears.


    Her mind was numb.


    ---- Chapter 473 She didn''t knew what to do.


    She has been brave all this while but now her strength was wavering.


    Damien, you stubborn idiot, she hissed, tears welling in her eyes.


    You can''t just give up.


    You can''t leave me like this.


    She pped his cheeks lightly, her fingers trembling as she tried to rouse him.


    Come on! You promised you''d fight with me.


    You promised! But there was no response.


    His body remained limp, his head lolled to the side.


    Alexias vision blurred further as the tears she''d held back finally spilled over.


    Desperation wed at her chest, leaving her gasping for air.


    Please...anyone help! Anyone! ---- Chapter 473 She didn''t knew what to do.


    She has been brave all this while but now her strength was wavering.


    Damien, you stubborn idiot, she hissed, tears welling in her eyes.


    You can''t just give up.


    You can''t leave me like this.


    She pped his cheeks lightly, her fingers trembling as she tried to rouse him.


    Come on! You promised you''d fight with me.


    You promised! But there was no response.


    His body remained limp, his head lolled to the side.


    Alexias vision blurred further as the tears she''d held back finally spilled over.


    Desperation wed at her chest, leaving her gasping for air.


    Please...anyone help! Anyone! ---- Help! Alexia looked around to plea for help, her eyes search desperately but not even a leaf moved They were all alone.


    She screamed till her throat was sore.But no help came.


    Her voice cracked, and tired she pressed her forehead against his.


    Tcan''t do this alone.


    She sobbed quietly for a moment, clutching his hand tightly, before a sound in the distance made her snap her head up.


    The crunch of footsteps.


    Someone was here.


    Alexia tensed, her instincts kicking in as she reached for the dagger strapped to her thigh.


    Her hazel eyes scanned the forest, her body poised to defend Damien from whatever threat approached.
