‘Sorry Kat but you’re just going to have to endure it, I wanted to prepare you before this happened’
Kora says, her voice floating to me in the darkness.
I tried to ask her what she meant, but I couldn’t speak through the pain. My nerve endings felt like they were on fire.
Her voice drifted away from me, out of reach. Pain similar to the curse ravaged my body only it didn’t end. I saw no end to it when I was suddenly drifting, floating in the abyss.
Before the darkness ripples, like a stone skipped along the water. A picture flickering in front of my eyes before I was thrown into it, becoming part of it.
It was the same place, the place with wolves dying in the field, I knew because I recognised the man’s eyes, it was the Black wolf that she saved first.
“Marabella,” he says cupping my face, his hands warm as he sits me up. He had long dark hair that hung to his shoulders.
A large scar that went from his hairline to his jaw that made his eye crinkle, even with the scar he still looked beautiful, it just made his features more prominent, manly. I looked around wolves that were healed, shifting back, yet I felt heavy, my limbs not cooperating.
Men and women screaming for their loved ones who couldn’t be saved, children clutching the dead bodies of their parents. “I tried, I tried but I couldn’t Micha, there are too many” I tell him. Though I know the words aren’t mine as they leave my lips but that of the woman I have become.
“I know my love” he tells me cupping her cheeks. Her sadness bleeding into me.
“She’s awake!”
“She’s awake!” People start murmuring rushing toward me, crowding around.
“Tell her to save them, tell her Alpha, she needs to bring back my son” A woman in her thirties says, clutching the man’s arm.
I shake my head, “I can’t, I can’t save them all” I tell the woman clutching his arms. Micha shoves her off before scooping me up. People crowd around trying to grab and pull on me, but he starts walking but they don’t stop, their hands grabbing and touching while they scream for me to save them, I feel my head ripped back as someone grabs my hair. Micha growled before spinning around and kicking the man in the chest with me still clutched in his arms.
He starts running. Zipping through the trees and into the forest. They gave chase, trying to catch us.
Yelling and screaming enraged that their loved ones wouldn’t be saved. The picture ripples before I feel a rush, the vision flickering ahead pulling me into a new vision.
Pain, intense pain making me scream. My abdomen cramping and I look up, a scream leaving my lips and I see that I am in a cave as I look around disorientated. A fire off to the side and bear skin under my hands as I clench it before screaming through the pain again.
“That’s it my love push, push” Micha says pushing my legs wider. I scream, gritting my teeth and pushing, panting through the pain before I hear a cry. A baby’s cry of life.
“It’s a boy, it’s a boy” Micha says, holding the baby up to show me, he places it on my chest and I stare in awe of it, when the pain starts again and I scream, gritting my teeth with a violent urge to push.
“What’s happening?” He asks as I scream.
“There’s another one,” I scream pushing before feeling the baby slide out the birth canal, Micha grabbing it in his hands and looking down at it before he looks up frightened.
“It’s a girl,” he says, shocked looking down at the baby in his arms.
“She will be cursed too,” he says, his voice breaking as he looks at his daughter. Voices could suddenly be heard outside the cave, Micha handing the baby to me and looking into the darkness of the cave.
“They found us, get up Marabella get up”
“I’m tired of running, I can’t keep running” I cry when he pulls me to my feet, the babies clutched in my arms, he sethers the cords with his claws. “Push, you need to run” he says tugging on the cords.
“No, I won’t leave you” I cry.
“It’s not about us, you need to keep them safe, keep her hidden” he says looking up at me.
“We need to get the placenta out, push my love” he says and I do while he tugs, the grossest feeling as it leaves my body. Blood running down my legs. The voices grow louder as they enter the cave, Micha looking around frantically.
“Run! Run” Micha says, pushing me to the back of the cave.
“Not without you” I say, clutching his arm.
“We don’t have time, they have humans with them, I love you, now go” he says, pushing me to go deeper into the cave.
“No!” I cry when he steps closer, clutching my face between his hands, his lips crashing on mine before he pulls back kissing both the babies heads.
“I’m sorry, my love” he says, before I feel his aura rush out, so strong that it nearly brings me to my knees.
“Run! Keep them safe” He roars, forcing the full weight of his command on top of me, crushing me before it’s too much and I start to run. I hear the voices grow louder before hearing him shift, my legs running through the cave before I see a tiny pin prick of light in the darkness and it grows bigger the closer I get to it, before I burst out of the cave and into the forest.
My legs, pushing me through the trees and I don’t stop, not till I feel his teether snap, my neck searing with pain and I know he is dead, the mate bond seethering and crushing pain ripples through my chest, bringing me to my knees as the force behind his command also snaps.
The two tiny babies clutched in my arms as my body heaved with sobs, their cries ringing out into the forest.
Voices drifted to my ears and I spun around, they were hunting us, Adreneline coursing through me.
Looking at the babies he gave his life for, I force my legs to move as I stumble through the forest. The picture flickering before flashing forward again.
This time I am in a field, a boy with dark curls hanging down his back chases after an equally dark haired girl as they play. I watch from the hill where I sit in the grass amongst the wildflowers.
“Micha!” I yell and the boys turns around. He looked around 12 years old and he ran over before falling on the grass next to me. The girl picking flowers amongst the high grass, she looks up and waves. The boy and I wave back at her.
“You must keep her safe, keep her hidden and don’t let her use her power, they will hunt her” I tell him.
“The pack, but we haven’t seen them in years now mother” I cup his cheek, my thumb brushing his skin.
“No son, from everybody, even the humans, everyone. Trust no one for they will take her from you” I tell him and he nods.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Because your getting sicker, and you are my son, I promised to protect you and I keep my promises”
“I don’t understand?”
“You will, for you hold my heart” I tell him, patting his chest where I see the scar. It was dark grey, looking down, my chest was the same, only glowing brightly blue, an identical scar running between my breasts.
“Is it because of her, the one who cursed you mother?” The boy asks.
“She didn’t curse me, she blessed me with the gift of life, but it comes with a price, a price I will pay, a price your sister will pay if she is not careful”
“How is it a gift when it is taking you from me?”
“Because without it I wouldn’t have either of you” I tell him, clutching his hand.
“But can’t you ask her for more time, what did you promise her, what did you promise her mother, I don’t want you to go”
“I promised her my heart for yours, so that means you have to live for me, live for your sister” I tell him before coughing.
