Page 302 of His Sunshine Baby

“We’re connected to every wolf. More than I thought. I think I can…”

I feel her aura, somehow transmitting to Nate. What the… His injury is closing up even faster now! Amazed, I watch it close in accelerated motion, almost unreal. It takes a few more seconds before Nate tries to get up with my help, standing despite his missing limb. I’m amazed…

“Nora! Are you alright?”

“Actually, yeah. I think your aura unlocked something in me. I don’t use my own strength to heal others, but the Moon’s power. It’s not easy, but I think… I control it completely now.”

Indeed, I can feel it. Nora’s aura is slowly covering the whole battlefield, closing injuries and healing one wolf after another. She can’t seem to do more than one at a time, but considering how far she is, it’s still amazing.

I’m starting to feel hope again. Nate is standing by my side, and I know Nora will be on her way soon. We are far from safe, though. The vampires, seeing the werewolves get back on their feet one by one, are resuming the fight. Damn it, the Queen’s death did almost nothing! I growl in warning.

“Selena, go back.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry about me, go back to my brothers. I’ll follow.”

I hate parting with Nate, but at least now I know he’ll be alright, not just bleeding on the ground. The black wolf is still trying to find his new pace, the right balance. I help him, letting him use me as a crutch until he’s stable enough. He growls andpushes me once he’s fine enough to stand without me. I give him a lick on the cheek.

“Love you.”

“I know, Sunshine. Go.”

I growl a bit, frustrated, and run back to our former position. I can’t babysit Nate for the rest of the fight, he’ll hate it. He’ll be fine, he’ll be fine… I mind-link Damian, Liam, all the Alphas and Betas, telling those who have yet to know about the Vampire Queen’s death. Of course, the Black brothers knew about Nate, and both thank me silently for protecting him, and Nora for accelerating his healing with her new enhanced power. I can sense Damian’s worried about his wife, but Nora seems fine. She probably channeled some of the Moon’s power for her own healing.

“I’m coming,” she says.

“How’s my nephew?”asks Liam, excited.

“He’s adorable, of course. His brother’s carbon copy.”

“Let’s have a girl, next.”

“Damian!”

I chuckle. It’s crazy how he manages to bicker about having a third child in the middle of a battlefield. Even Liam didn’t dare make any jokes yet.

“Nate, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I just need to adjust to running on all three instead of… you know.”

My heart hurts when I think about his arm. Maybe we can do something about it after the fight… I run back to the Black brothers, jumping on vampires on my way, trying to take down the ones I can, and catching a glimpse of the situation.

Our Alpha line is gone. With the brothers and I at the witch’s position, Lysandra had no choice but to retreat all the way to where the betas are. We lost a lot of ground; they are almost at the border. Nora’s intervention is helping maintainit for now, but we are running out of time. She won’t be able to keep healing people once she gets into a fight herself, and I can feel she’s on her way already. I can’t believe her. She just delivered a baby and she’s ready to join the fight. She’s Silver City’s Luna…

I tear apart another vampire, jump down, run, grab another one to pull it off one of our wolves, and kill it on the spot. I’m closing in on the brothers’ position and trying to rekindle that feeling from before. I felt something else. My aura is different from Nora’s. I can’t feel that healing superpower she has. I’m not a healer.

I’m a warrior, a fighter. I wonder what that means… I’m stronger, immune to silver and vampire venom, but… if there’s something more…

I keep running and heat up my aura, like before. This warmth I’ve been able to manipulate that’s spreading to all the auras around me… it’s not like Nora’s healing aura. Mine is more like a lamplight, guiding them, grasping their wolf aura and holding on. Like charging them with some heat, more energy. We are all linked.

I push it even further. I can almost feel the glow the others see in me, as I keep testing that feeling, all those auras around me. So many auras.

It’s… it’s not just the werewolves. Thousands of auras. They are like mine, of the same, warm color… like the sunshine.

The sons and daughters of the Sun. The humans… Could it be? I keep running, stopping for a moment to fight another bunch of vampires, helping an injured wolf, and saving another right in time. My mind is everywhere. On the fight, with Nora, with Nate, with the brothers, with all those auras.

It’s insane. I can feel the humans? Like Nora said, something unlocked in me. I try to hold on to them, to thatstrange feeling. I can’t mind-link them, they are not wolves. How do I do this?
