[i]My mate…?[/i] Kiara opened her mouth to respond to Jaii’s question, but nothing came. Nothing ever came. Remembering how she had talked to Dakeyras, she tried again. This time she managed to say, “H-h-he….,” and nothing more. [i]He left.[/i] It didn’t matter. Once Jaii had asked Sam to be beta… well the question directed towards her was forgotten. It was going to be Claymore all over again. The only difference was that she actually believed in this alpha. 

It was a few moments later, that she found her breathing was picking up and she was beginning to feel lightheaded. There was no reason for it, none at all, but it was happening. Her hearing became muffled, and she could no longer listen to the conversations of others. [i]He left…[/i] was the phrase that she thought over and over again. The one person who even might have cared for her even a little, had gone away. The one person who she could share her thoughts to, as crazy as that was, wasn’t even here. Kiara was only now realizing that she shouldn’t have let him leave.

The pain in her chest returned full force, and she couldn’t breathe anymore. [i]I need to get outside,[/i] she thought. And it wasn’t even that she was freaking out for no reason in front of people who probably weren’t even noticing. She needed to get outside because she needed to find him. What kind of person marks a mate and then just leave her alone. Kiara ignored the tears that streamed down her face, that she assumed was from the pain. Instead, she put all her strength into stumbling towards the door, hoping that she really was invisible and that no one would try to stop her, hoping that she could just make it outside.
