NIYOL'S POV
It had been two years since I lost my mate, Erika. It still felt like a dream though, but I learnt to live past the grief.
The only thing left was regrets.
I regretted not spending enough time with her, causing her pain and making her shed tears the days I made her my wife. I regretted leaving that morning.
I regretted everything that I should have done for her but couldn't. I regretted letting them hurt her. I should have banished them or gave strict examples. They would have stopped and she would have been happy.
She wouldn't have contemplated suicide if she were happy, right? But I didn't do anything. I believed her lies that she was okay.
I walked slowly towards her resting place. I fought with the Elders so I could lay her to rest. I couldn't bear to throw her away
