No!
I stood frozen in horror as I watched the scene unfold before me. Everything was in slow motion as I watched Caeden fall on the bed, his face contorted in pain as the bracelets of damnation were placed on his wrists. "No, no, no," I thought, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to move towards him to go and remove it but Ivan had me in a firm grip, holding me back.
"No!" I screamed louder as I struggled against Ivan's firm grip, holding me back.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw Caeden lay on the bed, exhausted and defeated. I could see the despair in his eyes, the fear of what was to come. I wanted to rush to him, to hold him close and protect him from the cruel fate that awaited him, but my Ivan's strong arms kept me restrained while Tag'arkh watched me with a look of pity.
