[SAKURA]
As the portal closed behind Elif, Sakura fell to her knees, fatigued and worn out. She looked the complete opposite of the woman who had been standing and talking to Elif, like she was ready to send the woman to a thousand different hells.
She looked like she was still in hell, and it didn't help that she was weaker than she had been earlier. And when she let out a whimper and let the darkness lead her, her friends rushed to her, shock on their faces at the sudden change.
The mating mark on her neck wasn't just purple or swollen anymore. It was releasing pus, which was a sign of an infection that only having an Erasthai close by could do away with. But then there was no mate right now.
Sakura's Erasthai was at the hospital, determined not to come home for a while.
And Sakura…
The poor woman had to deal with this.
