She closes her eyes taking a breath to relax
“Thank the heavens”“And is he mad at her?”Little abby asks, I shake my head“No he’s not, she was able to answer the phone and talk to me as normal, she said I was her friend June, he let her talk so I don’t think he’s mad”She grins up at Lou“See I told you he wouldn’t kill her”“I know, but it’s still scary, he’s so unpredictable”Lou answers taking Abby’s hand and squeezing it“Come, let the Luna go, she needs to prepare”I smile at them both and wag my fingers as I climb into the elevator“When this is all over we are going on holiday, I need a damn break”“Agreed”I answer drake when a thought pops into my head“Matt? Is he—““He’s more than ok, he’s downstairs and ready to fight, you saved him”I relax a little nodding my head“And Emma?”“She’s good, she’s better t“What’s got you both smiling like that?”“Well we wanted to make sure yesterday never happens again”Drakes head snaps towards them“And we wanted to make sure that they couldn’t use the potion they used before on you again”Caron adds with a wink“What do you mean?”Caron pulls out a jug of blue liquid “Chug a few gulps, it will increase your power, make you stronger, your strength will break through any potion that tries to stump you”“Do it, take it now”Drake takes it from her and he shoves it into my arms, I smirk up at him“I plan to, calm down babe”“Sorry, I just got excited”He tells me, waiting for me to drink it. I open the lid and recoil in disgust as the stench of processed banana hits me“Ewe why does it smell like that”“Told you you should have flavoured it with strawberries”Caron snaps at vincent, he rolls his eyes“Just d
She snaps, I chuckle taking her hand but as I do a man comes charging behind her, I rip her back behind me, sending her flying as I stick my claws straight out through the stomach of the rogue, grabbing his guts and pulling them out of his body. “Ewe”Fiona heaves as he falls next to me, I push of the ground and wipe the blood of my hands and hold it out to fiona“Oh come on, since when has a little guts ever scared you”I tease her “Would you both stop kidding around”Ben snaps from across the way, we both roll our eyes at the same time“Oh stop being a grump, we are smart enough to do both at the same time”Fiona scolds him, 3 men come racing towards us just as Ben gets surrounded, one dives for my legs, hooking his arms around them and yanking me off my feet, another lands directly on my chest as the other fights fiona.“This is the bitch!”The one on top growls “Oh I know! I can
“Don’t touch him”Layla shouts through my lips“What? Why? He’s huge”The man asks wide eyed, eyeing him all over“Because he’s huge, I want to keep him”I hear drake growl from behind me“Lilly you are not allowed to keep anyone but me”“Not like that silly, he’s enormous, I think we can turn him”Layla tells him excitedly, he looks at him then pauses, his eyes widen slightly at the Sight of him“Holy shit he’s the size of a house”“I know! Isn’t it fantastic”He groans“Fine keep him, lock him up if you can manage to get him back that is”“Oh and the boy, he surrendered, put him in a clean room with fresh clothes and some food”The man looks at drake for permission “Don’t look at me, do as the Luna says”Drake snaps, I grin triumphantly at fiona who snorts jumping to her feet and running into bens open arm, drake rolls his eyes and comes
Abby screams as both marten and Helen collapse on the ground, marten was already dead but Helen gasps, grabbing her throat as she looks to Abby who drops the knife, catching her shock in her hands and taking a step back as her eyes water, she shakes her head as her body starts to tremble “It’s not your fault”“Mmmmm—mummy”She croaks as I race to her side, I land on my knees beside her and I pull on all my power, pushing the wound closed I heal her, my power fills her up as she gasps for breath, but just as I thought she could breathe her body gives out and she collapses, her heart stops and her eyes lay openAbby screams, falling on her backside and crawling back away from her as she sobs shaking her head “Noooooo”Lou falls on the ground sobbing into her hands, shaking back and forth. Everyone just stands in shock, such a bittersweet moment, the moment we had all been waiting for was finally over but along with that goes the
Drakes POV I leap of the chair so fast I almost fall on my face as I land on the ground beside Lilly, had she not been through enough? What the hell was wrong with her? I look to Caron who seemed shocked on the spot“I thought you said that crap would help her”She nods rushing over as I pull Lilly onto my knee and I cradle her head in my arms “It did, did you say she got hurt?”She asks, I nod pulling up her shirt and freeze. Her side and stomach was dark red, it was swollen and I could physically see the rash spread across her stomach “Shit, it’s infected. Hospital NOW”She shouts as I scoop her up confused “How?”I ask running after carron and I run straight towards the entrance to the hospital “She missed some debris and healed herself, the rapid healing made the infection spread faster”My heart races, I couldn’t take much more of this, I couldn’t lose her and I was about to quit being alpha and run off to an abandoned islan
I grin, looking around the room, I lift my shirt and smile, my stomach was healed on the outside but I could feel myself still healing on the inside, Layla was still sleeping and I was raring to go. I grab some pack sweats and T-shirt and I start getting dressed, pulling on the shirt I grin at how baggy and comfortable it was. The door swings open and in rushes drake“You ok?”He asks grabbing my face and he slams his lips against mine, I grin kissing him back before he pulls away and he looks down at my outfit “You're dressed? Where do you think you're going?”He asks worriedly “Home, come on I’m hungry”“Hell no”“Don’t argue with me drake”He growls “No lilly, you will do as you're told this time, you almost bloody died AGAIN!”“And now I need to go eat and go on holiday”He curses under his breath as I climb out of bed pulling on the sweats “But we
She says holding her hand out for us to take, I reach for it as drake holds me closing his eyes, as we touch a link opens up between us and i'm thrown into Baylees vision, the boy who I had saved from the fight was leading the way on matt's back, I was on drake's back.We stopped in a clearing where a little girl no bigger than Baylee stood cornered in a cave growling at us, her hair was matted, her face and body was caked with mud and blood, her skin littered with tiny cuts. She looked wild, cold and terrified. The vision skips on to 2 girls that look around 12 years old, we were singing happy birthday while drake carried a cake towards them, one who had white bright skin, silver hair and purple eyes, the other girl was weirdly the same but also completely different Her eyes were bright green, her hair was long and wavy like Baylees hair, but the colour was brown, her skin was darker too but the grin she had on her face was the same one her sister had.
I smirk at her swallowing the food like a hoover, I was both starving and eager to leave before it got too late“How far away is the camp?”Matt asks “About 30 minutes in the direction of the fight, it’s hard to find the camp itself, most rogues miss it”“Marten clearly didn’t”Drake asks, Craig snorts nodding his head “No unfortunately for us he didn’t miss it, he was like a cult leader, he arrived with so many rogues, each fight we lost people and the people who were originally from our camp couldn’t see that it was a losing battle, now there is nobody left to fight”“And he’s dead so no reason to fight either”Drake says happily, Craig’s face splits into a wide grin“He is? Thank the heavens, we were a peaceful group before he came along, nobody bothered us and we stayed away from others, only taking in those who really needed us like women and kids. That’s mostly what we were, woman and kids then the kids grew up and had more kids so th
