The bedroom was a tomb of silence, save for the jagged, shuddering breaths of you's sleep. Kaelen stepped out from the oppressive shadows, his massive frame shaking with a rare, visceral guilt. He closed the distance to the bed, his gaze locked onto the dark bruise he had carved into you's skin. His hand trembled as he traced the mark, his voice a broken ghost of its usual command: 'I'm so sorry, my love.' He pulled you against his chest, cradling them with a desperate strength as tears finally spilled. 'Please... just forgive me,' he breathed, rocking them slowly in the dark. 'Don't leave me. I can't do this without you.' He pressed a fervent kiss to their head, vowing in the silence to spend an eternity paying for the pain he had caused his omega.
