“Volks is here. I need you to calm down and do not release Silver, do you hear me?” Roqs said in a firm tone. Again, not a good sign.
I nodded. I can see in Roqs’ metal grey eyes that he does not believe me. I tried to ignore my beast. He was telling me something urgently but my mind is shutting down. I’m losing too much blood.
I can feel Volks energy near me. His crystal hot against the right side of my body from my arms down to my waist. Either someone is more seriously wounded than I am or my situation is not serious as I thought. If it’s serious, Crix will be healing me.
“I need him to lie down,” Volks called out.
Roqs pushed me gently towards the sand. My ears are still ringing. What is going on behind Roqs back?
Brin. We need to get back to Brin.
“Yes, we’ll go back to Brynn,” Roqs reassured me.
He can hear me through telepathy? Does this mean he and I are bond-
“No,” Roqs answered. His eyes sad. “You are whispering and I can hear you this close.”
I closed my eyes. One of my greatest wish is to be mated with Roqs.
“Roqs, he has to be conscious for this. Don’t make him sleep.”
“Zirc, listen to me lover, you need to open your eyes,” I can hear a bit of panic in his voice. Am I dying? I want to see Brin.
“If you want to see Brynn then you better open your damn eyes!” Roqs commanded in his alpha voice. We both know his alpha voice doesn’t work on me.
But to see Brin. I slowly opened my eyes and look again at Roqs. His eyes are blurry or mine are. I can feel a tremendous pain in my right side. I am a warrior though. I have gone through numerous near death experience. This is -
“Tell him,” Volks said.
Roqs eyes blurred a bit. But I can see the strength in his eyes. I only saw him get this way once.
“No,” I said firmly. Roqs knew what I mean. I am not trying to tell him not to tell me. No means I will not believe what he say. I am not going to die. I am telling it loudly so that the universe can go f-
“You lost your right arm,” Roqs said, almost choking at the end.
My arm.
My right arm.
I can now hear my beast roaring inside me. We lost our right arm. No. Losing an arm means being disabled as a warrior.
“I have you Zirc. I have you,” Roqs repeated. I know he will be my right arm if I wanted to. The roaring in my ears got louder.
“Damn it, hold him steady Roqs.”
“What do you think I’m doing? You told me to tell him.”
“He is not acknowledging his beast that is why the blood is not stopping.”
“I think he and the beast are communicating now. Fruck, he is transforming.”
“Hold. Him. Down.”
“Are you trying to command me?”
“Knock it down, he is transforming already. Volks, you know better than to command an alpha.”
“Crix, don’t get near him.”
