“I…” I screamed as pain erupted within me, and I felt something wrap around me.
Her chilling laugh consumed me. With all my willpower, I scraped my foot over the edge of the circle, breaking the spell. I clutched my chest, falling forward.
Shit. I had failed…
I wouldn’t be able to live knowing I had killed for my freedom. Maybe I was better off dead. Her sons... the Lycan King... Rayhan’s father... I couldn’t do that to him.
I fell face forward on the ground, my heartbeat dimming.
Is this it?I wasn’t sure…
My eyes fluttered shut, and I thought I saw something black move towards me... but it was all fading into darkness…
Friends
Rayhan
Ihad never felt more terrified or hopeless in my life than I did when I saw her lying there in the rain, her hand covered in blood.
I had felt something was up as I sat in the downpour, watching her apartment from afar. I thought I heard something, but there was nothing when I went to check. When I finally made a round around her apartment, I saw the bathroom window and realised she had left. I followed her faint scent in the rainfall, and it led me to the graveyard.
The sight before me had ripped me apart. I picked her up and rushed her to the penthouse. I pushed the door open, making the others jump from the sofa.
“Whoa! What the hell?” Chris exclaimed in alarm.
“She was out in the rain,” I said, my voice coming out thick.
“We need to get her out of those clothes,” Lola said quickly.
I nodded as I carried her to my room. I placed her down, about to remove her jacket when I remembered the memory. I moved back suddenly, my heart thudding. She wouldn’t like me touching her…
“Get her changed, showered, and into warm clothes. I’ll call a doctor,” I said, turning and walking out of the room.
My wolf’s anger and worry were crippling me, but I knew what he wanted to do; to mark her, knowing once we did, it would strengthen her. But I was not going to do that. No damn chance.
“She’s going to be okay,” Chris assured me, running a hand through his hair. “She looks like a little spitfire. She’ll be fine.” I agreed.
“Arrange for a doctor, Chris.” He nodded and walked off to grab his phone.
Ray… she’s covered in-
I know,I cut Lola off coldly through the link.
Okay,her understanding reply came.
I knew she meant her scars. I didn’t even want to know the extent of them…
I dropped to the ground, resting my head against the wall and tapping my foot impatiently.
“Look, you need to get out of those wet clothes too,” Chris said quietly when he came back. “I have a doctor coming to see her soon. She’s human, maybe the hospital would have been better.”
I shook my head. No, there was a chance more witches were after her. I couldn’t risk it. I waited anxiously for the girls to be done. The urge to be by her side was strong. I stood up, suddenly unable to hold myself back and entered the bedroom.
Lola was wrapping her hand in a bandage. She wore one of my t-shirts that reached her thighs whilst Rose was towelling her washed hair. The smell of my bath products mixed with her scent. I walked to the bed, looking at her pale face.
“Her hand is bleeding quite badly,” Lola said. “Her temperature’s high. I think she’s caught a fever, but her breathing seems a bit better.” I nodded and was about to sit down when she raised her hand. “Go shower first. You’re going to get her cold again,” she said quietly.
She was right. I looked at Delsanra, my stomach twisting at how pale she looked. What spell had she been performing? Did it go wrong?
