“Let go of me!” I struggled, tears blurring my vision.I need him!
“He’ll be okay,” Damon’s soothing voice promised, but it was a lie! I could hear it in his voice, the broken tone of defeat.
The two doctors were shaking their heads and pointing at his back.
“…. can’t move him…”
“He’ll die…”
“It’s too late…”
No. No!It’s not too late!
“I need him! Let go of me!” I screamed.
I won’t let him go!
I twisted in Damon’s arms, slamming my elbow into his ribs as hard as I could, and broke free, rushing to Liam’s side. Aunty Red was sitting there frozen, her face ghostly white. I pushed through, lifting Liam’s head in my hands.
You are my world. I won’t be able to live if my world is gone.I looked at his handsome face, tears streaming down my cheeks.The fight isn’t over until we take our last breath.
I kissed his unmoving lips, and for a moment everything faded away…
The soft tingle of a dying bond remained…
There’s nothing worth living for if he’s gone.
I looked down at his neck, my heart pounding, my eyes flashing before I bent down, extracting my canines and sinking them into his neck, marking him…
I felt the flicker of the spark flare through us as I felt the bond becoming complete. His heart skipped a beat, picking up for a moment, and my heart leapt with hope.
“Please, Blue Eyes, look at me,” I begged.
“We need to get the bullets out. Just try!” Aunty Red was shouting. “Contact Kiara!”
“Luna, please, listen, he… there’s no hope,” one of the doctors was whispering. I stared down at him, begging him silently.
Wake up, baby... please, wake up…
His heart thumped, once… twice… and then…
It stopped.
I felt something being torn from my chest, agony slicing through me like a million lashes.
“No!”Aunty Red’s scream filled the sky.
I closed my eyes as pain I had never felt before wrapped around me…
I couldn’t breathe. The pain inside of me was crushing me…
Goddess... if you are to take him, then you will take me, too…
I opened my eyes as tears streamed down my cheeks, staring down into the face of the man I loved. Reality hit me brutally, wreaking havoc in my life in a way I never thought was possible, completely destroying me.
Only one reality rang clear in that raging storm.
Liam was gone.
