The room is silent after Avery leaves. Salvatore stands there lost as he looks in the direction that his mate has gone. A pang of sadness hits my chest as I feel for the guy. Seeing what he saw could not have been easy. With the way that she screamed I wouldn't want to see it. Julia has yet to let go of my arm as she looks at Morbius with tears in his eyes. Having walked through his soul I know that she has seen everything he has shown. Taking her with me we walk over to my brother as we embrace him.A throat clears and we all turn to look at Salvatore. The sadness in his eyes has not gone away but determination can also be seen there. Everyone in the room looks at him in pity now but he holds his head high as alpha. We can all see that he will get done what needs to be done. If not for us then for the sake of his mates. “We will follow your lead” Salvatore says as he addresses Morbius.My brother doesn't break the hold that he has on I and Julia as he takes a step forward. Everyone
We enter the cafeteria and I feel as my mates tense up. My eyes are searching the room as I try to look for anything out of the ordinary. The problem is, I have only eaten in this place once. I can't say that I regret having eyes for only my mate that day. It would have come in handy now though. We head over to the buffet area and I immediately spot Adam as he brings out fresh trays from the back. When I smirk at the traitorous bastard a bead of sweat drips down on his head. I smile knowing that he knows what is at stake here if he messes up. Jefferson and I guide Julia with our hands on her lower back as we make our trays. She is helpful in this way as she piles food on to both of our trays as well.I choose a seat closest to the exit so that I can watch all who come in and all who exit the area. Having only one way in and one way out is actually working in our favor for this occasion. Julia and Jefferson hardly pick at their food and I do the same. This isn't going to work however
I watch through the eyes of my human as there is so much commotion in the room. So many people move over our mate as the only thing that leaves her mouth are garbled noises. Changing his eyes I can see that our eggs still lie in her stomach. While it does provide us some comfort, the thought of losing her is more than I can take. Everyone freezes as our alpha enters the room with our female alpha in his arms. “Dr. Snow, you have had enough time to work with the vials. Please tell us that you have something, "he says. We can all see the sadness and the toll this is taking on him. “That's what this is! Shit everyone out now” She yells and immediately anyone who is not on a bed starts to leave the room. Maximus stands with his ate as Xander lays Tika onto an open bed. The doctor stands in place as she closes her eyes and I have had enough. What does this have to do with saving our mate?In a flash of an odd green light a man appears into the room and embraces the good doctor. She pats
Something snaps inside me as that monitor goes off. The commotion in the room as they shout my brother's name lets me know that he has also lost his shit. Tears fill my eyes as I look at my mate that lies so still. As my dragon comes forward glass shatters in the room and I allow the change to happen. My heart shatters into pieces as we watch the doctor working over our mate. Her hands pump up and down on Julia’s chest and I roar. Arms come around me and I fight against their hold as I try to get to her. I just need to feel her one more time. I just need my mate. The beeping in the room is the only thing that I can hear and I swipe out a hand as I destroy the machine. The beeping stops all at once as I fight against them. Someone is screaming in my face but the only thing that I can still hear is that dreadful sound. The sound of everything in my life as I finally lose it. As the pain from this dreadful life finally gets to me. As it all ends. A strike to my face makes me growl as I
The walk that i take after leaving Xanders office is a blind one. I pay no attention to where i am going as the past haunts me. Memories and moments that i wish that i could change. Conversations that could have gone different. Things that were hidden and secrets that were kept. They are all the ways that i could have save the mate that now disgust me. The scenes from the dragon that they call Morbius will haunt me for ever. I would have never know my Slay to be capable of such things. Things that are beyond horrific. Things that i know that he can never be forgiven for. My dragon has yet to say a word after witnessing his atrocious acts. It so unlike the normally lively beast to be pouting in my head. We truly didnt know just how bad things were.What makes matters worst is that we could have found him all this time. We could have searched for him through our bond and put a stop to this. And yet we did not. We used to say that it was in fear of how our other mate would respond. With
Until this day I have no regrets about the decisions that I have made. Seeing the horrific things from the man that I loved hurt me beyond belief. When I heard of the things that he was doing to our kind I believed them. I had once upon a time seen his rage and I had Avery run from it. All those years ago and we have been running ever since. For decades I have felt the connection to Slater. In my anger and my fury at him I have all but denied that it existed. Today however, I have no choice. I have to follow it to where he is so that I can put a stop to him once and for all. I should have put a stop to it all those years ago, but because he holds my soul, I could not. Avery has always been the strongest of us. When she found out what he did, she so easily rejected him. I don't know if i could have done the same in her position but i know that it wasn't only herself that she was thinking of.When we returned after our trip in the forest and he shared our relationship, I was finally ha
The fire in the fireplace roars to life as I stroke it. The flames are mesmerizing to me as I feel my mates closing in. I have waited for this moment. After everything that i have done now they have no choice but to pay attention. The best has still yet to be shown and they don't even know. They will be leaving this earth on this day just as I will be. An epically romantic moment until the bitter end.I laugh as their flames heat. By now many of their friends would have died. The other dragons would have changed into today's clothes not knowing that it would be their death. For those that didn't change into the close they would have their final meal. Everything was so eloquently executed and they were blind sided. This was the only way that things could go after they blindsided me all those years ago.I got rid of a problem. I saved us only for them to leave me. For years I waited for them to return. For years I felt them as they loved and they grew. After five years had passed I rea
Looking at the faces in the room I can feel the words in my throat as they choke me. All these years and i know that the way that i handled things in the past was wrong. I made the decision based on our unborn children. I should have told Salvatore the truth of that night and yet I was afraid. I was afraid of how he would look at me and that I might have been left to raise our baby alone. I was afraid that he would see the dark side of me that Slater knew before I learned to control it. Who knows that Salvatore would have helped me control it later down the line. “Speak!!” Slater yells at me. Salvatores gaze swivels between us both as he tries to access my mind link. I block him from it not wanting him to see the actions. They are words that I need to say anyway. “That night was not how things were supposed to go, Sal. You have to believe me. I never wanted anyone to get hurt "I tell him as I plead with him. As I step toward him he steps away from me as he looks at me. I know from t
