TWENTY NINE

KEEGAN

Terror seized me, it's suffocating grip unyielding. Darian was lying in my arms, gasping for air.

Right before my eyes, Ava had just been abducted by Bloody Martyr.

"No... what do I... what do I do?" I breathed, black dots swarming around the edges of my vision.

"Fucking snap out of it, Creed!" a familiar voice yelled, grabbing me by the shoulder. My wide eyed gaze met Venom's. His brows were furrowed, his eyes darkened with fury.

"My mates...I need to save them...I can't..."

A slice of pain exploded on my cheek, my head jerking to the side with the impact of Venom's thunderous slap. I closed my eyes, tasting the metallic taste of blood in my mouth.

"I said, snap out of it" he growled, his eyes glowing red.

"We need to get the poison out of his Majesty's system."

"How do we do that?" I breathed, staring down at Darian who was evidently in a lot of pain.

Before I could process Venom's next action, he'd slashed across the inside of Darian's left wrist with his claws.
