Iskander turned to leave, but Alvaro instantly went down on his knees.
"Three days," Alvaro said, keeping his head low as tears threatened to fall. "Just give me three days. If she still doesn't wish to see me or talk to me after that, I will leave and never come back."
Iskander stopped in his tracks, his back still turned to the young Alpha. The corridor fell completely silent.
Iskander thought about how much Yohana had suffered because of this boy's weakness, but he also remembered how deeply she cared for her family.
Slowly, Iskander turned around and looked down at Alvaro's trembling form.
"Three days," Iskander said, his voice quiet but firm. "You can stay at the palace guest house. But you will not approach her room without my permission. If you distress her even a little bit, I will throw you out myself."
Alvaro closed his eyes in relief, his shoulders dropping. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I just want to know she is okay."
