"Jas…"
Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused.
"Yes, it's me—Jasper!"
Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest.
"Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.
A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…"
Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side.
"Alyssa! Stay awake!"
Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to push through the agony, opening his arms to cradle her.
"I am Jasper! Open your eyes! Look at me!"
For someone in a state of hypothermia, falling unconscious could be fatal, even more so when the will was lost.
Jasper's heart raced with terror as he watched Alyssa. He feared she might never wake up if she closed her eyes now.
The oppressive darkness around them felt suffocating, as though it were closing in, swallowing any hope they had left.
Alyssa, her eyes still wet with tears, gazed at the man before her. His eyes burned with a fire she hadn't seen in so long. Her heart skipped a beat, racing uncontrollably.
But that fire had long been replaced by shadows ever since he'd woken from his coma. His eyes, once full of light, had become darker than the night, colder than ice.

It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
