FakeNovelChapter 277 Xena's POV The man beforewas barely recognizable from the photos I'd seen. Jericho looked like he'd been through hell his clothes were filiby rags, hit wall and unkempt. But despite his broken appearance, I could sense an intelligence behind those tired eyes.
"Jericho," I said, my voice steady despite everything I'd been through. I think we have a lot to discuss." He nodded slowly, his gaze flicking between Logan, Ryder, and me.
"Sit, Logan commanded, pointing to a chair they'd brought in. Jericho complied without argument.

"I'm afraid so. She didn't mark him back, but the bond exists. I'm worried that in her current condition, she might not survive much longer.
Jericho's face went pale, and I could feel the desperation radiating from him like waves. As someone who had almost lost my mate, I could En.
soms understand that kind of pain-though I'd never experienced it fully, just imagining it was enough to break my heart.

Logan was speechless. He wasn't sure what to say, just kept looking between Ryder and me, then back to Jericho.
