This is a tough one and I can see his reason. When does one stop? When does one realize now is just time to accept, especially when it comes to terminal illness. When do you know that something is beyond your control and to focus your time and energy on what you can control and make a difference in the time you have left with your loved ones. It is tough to know and none of us truly knows if there is a way or not and I don't know what jasmine plans to do at this point. I truly hope he lives. He is one of a kind and been strong for so long so I can understand that he is tired š„ŗ. Maybe with Nazneen now, some of the burden will be lifted š
What a heartbreaking and sad chapter! (both on Ravina and Ares' side) š„ŗš But I'm relieved that the truth is all out and that each one of them can be there for each other, for comfort, support and love. I really hope there's still a way to solve all these and that everyone can be happyšš I especially love Ares being a toughie, however accepting of what his fate has become. But that doesn't really mean he'd give up (not just yet, maybe close to- I refuse to believe that) I'm sure he'd take every possible solution there is to be with his loved ones, this family he had embraced and has welcomed him, and of course to be with the love of his life. Jazzy,save Richard and Ares pleasešš
The complexity of the characters in this book is truly what makes one deeply attached to them. Each one makes a valid point if you put yourself in their shoes. Each one has their past and pain that led them somewhere or makes them act a certain way. Ravina feels betrayed. Ares was truly the first one she trusted and keeping such secret from her hurts. It can almost feel like he didn't care while from his side you see why he did and you can almost not be angry at any of them. Almost like Malachi and Corinna's confrontation. You understand both. Nazneen is hurt so I know right now her anger is speaking for her. It is a lot to take and Ares has for a while now coming to the conclusion that there is no way out. Another painful revelation. My heart hurts for all these characters. Malachi and Ephraim must also feel helpless to see their breedmates like that šš Heartbreaking chapter but at least we are one step further
I hope Ares doesnāt have to face his illness/death alone. I also hope Nazneen will step up and support Ares. I bet Ares feels a heavy burden lifted after keeping his secret from Nazneen. Iām glad heās choosing to confront his demons and took action to not make the same mistake he made with Ravina.
I keep thinking that if they were to mate, that it would heal him. I don't know why they haven't at least discussed that. If royal dragon blood can possibly save Richard, it might save Ares, too. He's had some of Nazneen's blood twice but not a lot either time. I think if she marks him, that it will heal the damaged parts of his body. I think it's worth a shot.
