Chapter 29 - Evelyn

No! No. No. No. He has Killian’s neck in his teeth. He has attacked my mate. Gone for his neck. He planned to kill. Of that there was no doubt. The wolf drops Killian’s now limp body. The brightness in those beautiful blue eyes now gone. My legs give way, and I drop to the floor next to Killian’s body, picking him up, so his body is laid within my arms. He is trembling, blood pours from wounds on his neck. A wound almost where I should have been marking him. A mark to show the world he was mine.

But now he would never be mine. This perfect mate the moon goddess chose for me is dying in my arms. I am no fool to that. I feel myself sobbing. Tears dropping onto Killian. His eyes still wide, though vacant. I am not even sure he hasn’t already gone. “No!” I am screaming. Yet the scream sounds so distant. How can life be so cruel? I had barely met him. Barely known him. One kiss. One moment in this existence was all we were allowed to share before he was snatched from me.
