Resurrection novel Chapter 29

Then suddenly I felt two arms grab me from behind but till then I was not able to breathe and the water entered my system

I was pulled on to the ground and I coughed till my lungs could breathe in some air

Once my breathing was normal I looked around to see myself on the ground next to the lake

A old man was there staring at me

"You are alright my son?"

I nodded not able to speak with my aching throat

I looked around to see that there was no one there other than us

"I saw you struggling in the water so I decided to help ....child why did you go into the lake if you don't know how to swim?'

He questioned with concern in his eyes

His eyes were dark shade of blue and even with his wrinkled skin and white hair I could tell that he must be a very handsome and well built man when he would be young

He still had strength to save me when he himself could barely swim

He must have been a warrior or so I thought

" Th..anku.... Sir....for...saving..me..actuall..y I know how...to swim....it's just......."

" Son..suicide is never a solution to anything"

"No. Sir!! I didn't intent to...but I don't know how.....I just wanted to see her....I hurted her so much...and I just can't forgive myself for it..now ..I am hallucinating about her...without her....I am going crazy...I don't know what to do??"

The man smiled at me and placed his hand on my shoulder

"Mates are the most precious gift..son....you can pretend to hate them but you never truly do....you can hate yourself but not her..she is as incomplete without you as you are without her......you see this weather how it was calm few minutes back and now how fast the winds are...these are also the howls of a mate....a calling....no one believes me but I was seen her with my own eyes.....longing for her mate while crying endless tears into this lake....just like you she also tried to kill her but she was not able to ..you know why??"

"Because she hoped he will come back......and today I see that indeed her hope was not wasted...he did come here tod ay searching for her...."

My eyes held shock

Was he talking about Ezra

Did she usually come here

Did she even tried to kill herself....

"....Was her name....."

"I don't know her name my child but I do know that she was longing for you....
