Adrianna's POV:

My heart pounded in my throat as I stared at the doctor, eyes wide. I could feel Ares tense.

He had waited far too long.


The doctor's eyes did us one over, he took his sweet time making eye contact with everyone in the room that seemed clustered with nerves.

Solemnly, he shook his head.

A sigh escaped me.

And then the disappointment, grief and finally, realisation.

Ares wasn't getting the transplant.

"I am sorry," He mumbled, "His blood is rejecting the donor."

His shoulders fell as a haunted look took over his features.

"Ares," His name fell from my lips in a whisper, one that was meant to be heard for us only.

He didn't react.

"Are you sure?" I knew he was sure, I just couldn't grasp the fact, "Mr. Vallerviv, could it be that it's just a temporary reaction and not a permanent one? We can't say anything before at least some time passes."

"His blood is recognizing the donor tissue as a foreign intruder. It's not like we can adjust it if that's the case. You know it well, Ms. Campbell."
