Kevin's POV "Ella! Ella! Ella!" I shouted as I watched her slip into unconsciousness. My hand with which I was rubbing on her mark fell from her wrist and I grabbed her, shaking her to wake up but she was as stiff as a rock. What was wrong with her? "Ella!" I called out again. Liam placed a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him with tear-stained eyes, probably looking as helpless as I felt. "You have to keep on cleaning the mark." "She fainted from the pain." Liam nodded to show me he understood my pain but his stare didn't soften. "You have to keep on rubbing the sap on her skin if you want to help her." How could I be helping her by running more of that on her body when it had been the reason she had been in pain and fainted? My hands were scalded from the heat and I couldn't imagine how hot it would be in her blood. She was a strong woman who had to have been in a lot of pain to make her faint. I didn't want to rub anything on her body again. I wanted to scoop her in

Kevin's POV I didn't want to act paranoid or like I was overreacting but Ella seemed withdrawn. I didn't want to press her for information with what she had just been through. Moreover, I didn't know how bad the battle she had fought had been so I didn't want to remind her of the terror by asking her how it had been for her. I just didn't want her to be silent and have the faraway look she had in her eyes. I wondered what she was thinking of. I slipped my hand into hers, letting her knowing that I was right here with her and she was out of whatever terror was in her head. She looked at me and smiled back. I nodded at her, refusing to comment on how sad the smile in her eyes was. Ella wasn't here yet. She was still in her head and I wondered what could bring her back to the present. I thought of what I knew she liked. I considered telling her a story but she would laugh at me that she wasn't a kid. "Kevin," she whispered. "What?" I glanced at her. "You are holding my hand too ti

Kevin's POVIt was a fierce battle, tougher than the one we had with him and his family but I didn't for once think that we wouldn't win. I wasn't afraid and was ready to give it all that I've got to send this huge bastard to his grave or he wouldn't let me rest.I believed in war that once I believed that I would lose, it was highly likely that I would lose the battle as my body would want to follow the path that my mind believed in. I couldn't have any smear of failure. Not at all. That was why I always stayed in high spirits and confidence even if the opponent was bigger and stronger than I was.I doubted that the cannibals could exist outside the jungle or they would have gone to the village to wreck havoc on the people there and avenge the death of his family. It was likely their only chance of getting their revenge was here while we were still in the jungle. If we could wound them enough to escape from here, we would be free of them.I raised myself on my hind leg, latching on t

Kevin's POV"Liam!" I yelled, pulling at his clothes as I kneeled by his side. "Don't you dare die on me."He smiled at me, his teeth shining through the foamy liquid pouring out from his mouth. "My lord." He said and went unconscious.I shook my head and cried out. How could he have the nerve to call me his lord in this situation? He was dying for my mate and was supposed to hate me. How could he think of smiling at this point? I didn't dare think of how I would feel if I lost him.I didn't come here for a barter of lives. I wasn't going to trade the life of my best man for the freedom of my mate. I cradled Liam's hand to mine as tears fell from my eyes and my heart surged with fear.Through the fog of tears filling my eyes, I saw the others lying beside me. I saw the horror and guilt filling Ella's eyes as she knelt by his side, opposite me. I was dejected and couldn't bear to look at her. I knew without a doubt that I was back to what brought me here. Ella was going to have nightma

Kevin's POV"Let's go together." The men said when the old man left us alone and went back to his house by the outskirts of town.I shook my head. There was no need for that. I thought as I glanced at the map with me. The river wasn't far and the way there wasn't as dangerous as that of the jungle had been. We only needed to walk a long path till we get there and the fewer we were, the faster we could get back."We don't need to go in bunch." I said as I turned to the eager men. "I know you all love Liam and would walk through the fires for him but I would only be taking Ella and Damien with me. The rest of you should help the village doctor and nurse to watch over Liam till we get back. Clean him off, always check up on him and make sure he is comfortable till we are back. Is that okay without everyone?""Yes, my lord." They all echoed with a bow of their heads. "Safe journey.""Thank you." I said and walked outside with the others on my trail.We met the doctor on his way in, rushin

Ella's POVI ignored the guilt and grief in my heart and continued running, eager to get to the river more than anyone else. Why did this have to happen?I had imagined soaking myself up in a long bath when we get out of the jungle and back to the village and not having to go on another adventure right after we get back with Liam fighting for his life while we worried that we might not make it back on time to him.Damn. We had to make it back to him. We had to. I couldn't think of any other way. I would be devastated if we had to put an end to Liam's life to save him and everyone else. Kevin would be broken and everyone else would be affected as well.Liam had to be saved. He had to make it. He had to. I thought as I continued running, my paws hitting the ground hard as I ran faster than the others.I gasped as I saw a river and shifted back into human form. "Isn't that the river?" I said, pointing at it.The others stopped beside me and shifted back to their human forms."It is a riv

Kevin's POVThis fight was hard on me and it wasn't because I didn't trust Ella. I knew that she could handle herself but that didn't mean I would stop feeling overprotective when it came to her.I wanted to go there and yank her away from the fight but I dared not. Ella would be mad at him and more importantly, I doubted that we would be able to go with the daisies if we interrupted the fight.I couldn't do that. We needed to save Liam and had already wasted so much time. I didn't dare risk Liam's life because I couldn't control my emotions.I knew Ella was going to fight with all that she got because of the love she had for Liam and the guilt that he was lying there for her sake. I had no doubt that she wouldn't stop until she won so I had to trust her that she would. I had to believe in that smile she had given me before sparring with the spirit.She had told me with her eyes to believe in her and that was what I was going to do and wish her luck.I winced as the spirit got a blow

Ella's POV Finally, we were leaving. We were going home. I wasn't going to say that I was going to miss the runaway slaves in this village but I would think of them once in a while. Liam was fully healed and ready to go home. Asides the concoction from the daisies that had helped him, I had also made him some herbal juices that had renewed his strength. I wouldn't be surprised if he started to kick ass of enemies if we ever get into any battle anytime soon. That was how much I believed in the medications I made and how strong Liam was. "Are you all ready to leave?" Kevin asked, looking at our group as his eyes traveled round. I almost snorted at his question but kept it in check. Who wouldn't be ready to leave after all we had been through? I could bet my position that the men had been waiting for this day for a long time. "Yes, Alpha." The men echoed. The people came out to wish us goodbyes and as much as we wanted to act cool about it, tears still dropped from the eyes of some
