It felt like a knife had been driven into me and I raised my hand to grab my ch3st.
“Clover, are you alright?” Odell asked as we entered the dark gray circular stone room. I shook my head and stepped backwards until I reached the cold stone wall. What was going on? I felt like I was suff0cating. A wave of nausea hit me, and I leaned my body over, resting my hands on my knees. My head was pulsating, and my body was frantic.
I needed to do something, but what?
Something was happening and my existence was screaming at me. Suddenly a pain gripped over m radiating from my mark on my neck. It poured downwards and through my veins like acid b*rning and eating at me.
My breathing was erratic as my vision faded in and out. My ch3st was being squeezed until I was almost gasping for air. Tears were pooling from my eyes as I struggled to stand. My body was seized with uncontrollable tremors.
A pulsating wave ripped through me as a void began to fill in my soul. Dear gods.. Sion. It was Sion.
“Sion!” I screamed as my eyes traveled over the other passageways. Something was wrong. Something had shaken the bond.. it felt severed. I reached up touching the mark on my neck, trying to feel my connection to him. My fingers traced over the proof l belonged to him.
I was hysterical and desperate. I ran with a drive I didn’t know was there, I moved my legs. I didn’t know where I was going. I was letting instinct lead me. The tears continued to burn my eyes as I sprinted into the darkness. I could hear the scuffling sound of the other two as they ran after me. But it was like everything was disappearing.
What was happening? Was Sion okay? He had to be okay. He was okay. He just got hurt but he would heal. He was a Lycan and was just fine. He just needed me. We needed each other. I would hold him in my arms, and everything would be okay.
Everything was fine. I continued to lie to myself.
Waves of agony washed over me as I staggered forward.
Through my blurry teary eyes, I saw Demetri. My eyes quickly followed over Kai, Logan, and Conner. Sion was not with them. They were just standing in the tunnel as if they were hesitating about what to do.
“Sion?” I felt like I was hyperventilating.
They all had crestfallen faces as their red-swollen eyes looked up at me. I shook my head and kept walking forward. “He’s okay. He’s okay… he is okay.
Kai walked up to me, wrapping me in his embrace, pulling my head to his ch3st. “He’s gone…” His hoarse voice choked out in a sob. I shook my head as I struggled in his embrace.
“No.. no no no no no no NOO000000000000000000!” My voice didn’t sound like my own. It was a mixture of hysterics and the cries of a shattered soul. Kai gripped me tighter in his arms and I felt his own dampness land on my arms.
“Gods.. I’m so sorry. It hurts like hell.. I know. I’m so sorry. I couldn’t do anything. It should have been me… not him.” Kai’s voice was shaking as his arms began to tremble.
“I have to see him,” I pushed back as Kai held me firmly.
“You can’t.”
“I’m going to see him!” l yanked myself away and this time Demetri and Conner formed a wall to block me. Demetri stood there in his human form with one of his hands outstretched towards me.
“Clover… he has fallen into a ravine where there is a river with a d**dly vortex current. And… if by some miracle he survived that there is a d**dly miasma cloud above the river. Impossible… he couldn’t have…” Demetri stopped when I shot him a look. I didn’t want to hear him say it.
“Clover…” Kai placed his hand on my shoulder as his eyes met with mine. “When… when my mate d*ed.. I felt it…” I watched as he tapped his ch3st. “I felt it here. There was a pain that radiated inside of me, and I felt empty.” His eyes were now searching mine. I shook my head not wanting to listen to what he was telling me.
“He has to be fine.. he has to be fine. He’s… he’s all I have.” I felt like my throat was constricting as I fought to get air.
“Luna, you are not alone. We are here.. you have us, and the Chance pack needs you.”
Conner’s voice was firm but when I looked at his eyes, I could see his pain. The evidence of his tears over his swollen red face.
“We can’t leave him here.” I whimpered as I felt myself shutting down. Luna? How could I do this without Sion? I can’t. I won’t. I won’t believe he is d**d. I stepped back and shook my head. Lies.
This was all another lie. Sion was just hiding around the corner. Or maybe he went on ahead?
This was all an elaborate set up to get me to use my powers.
This is just a nightmare. I’ll wake up and Sion will be there. He will hold me and tell me that everything is okay. He will tell me that he will never leave me. We are going to have a family together. I looked at my hands and it was as if I couldn’t feel them. In fact, my whole body felt numb. I was breathing erratically and couldn’t accept what I was being told. it all was becoming too much.
“I’m going to find him.” I looked up at the others with determination as I tried to hold myself together. I couldn’t walk away like this. Deep inside, something felt like it was building up inside of me.
As if I was under pressure and something was about to break free. It was overwhelming and all-consuming. My mind was now focusing on Sion. He was the only one that mattered. I needed to find him.
I stepped forward looking at the others who were blocking my path. “Stand aside,” I said in a firm voice as something began to radiate around me.
“Clover… there is nothing there but death. We need to leave.” Demetri’s voice was sounding faint. I saw his l!ps moving and heard his voice, but it was like he was far away from me. I continued to walk forward and then arms grabbed onto me.
Stopping me. They were stopping me from going to Sion.
The confined energy inside of me was at its limit. “Move!” It was like there was an explosion inside of me. Everyone around me went flying, crashing into the walls. My legs gave out and I collapsed on the ground. My vision began to tunnel.
In the small circle of my vision, I watched as the gnomes’ eyes glowed blue. He was the only one still standing and he walked towards me. He leaned down to look at me with his gleaming eyes shining at me.
“Now isn’t that interesting.” The gnome’s mouth moved but it wasn’t his voice. It was the voice of the goddess Shiva. “Rest…”
As if on command, my eyes closed, and everything went black.
I could smell smoke and hear the sound of a fire crackling as I began to wake up. At first, I couldn’t remember what happened. Where was I?
What had happened?
“She needs time.” I heard Kai’s voice.
She will never fully recover. I haven’t but in time she will learn to move on. I still cry for my mate. but I am able to function now.”
No. My memories began to flash in my mind like a reel. No.. my mate wasn’t d**d. I couldn’t accept it. I couldn’t process something like that. Every cell in my body was ready to fight against this reality. Then I remembered the glowing blue eyes of Stilts. I sat up and searched the area.
“Clover..” Odell said in a soothing voice as my eyes scanned over everyone. I found my target and I glared at him.
“ls this another one of her games?!” I growled as I stood up. The gnome sat there quietly watching me as I walked over to him. “Is this another lesson?” He still didn’t answer me, and I found myself livid. “I want to speak to her! She can see me through you, can’t she? That is why she left you with me. Can you hear me?! Shiva?!”
“I might have some unorthodox ways of testing powers, but l wouldn’t k*ll someone for it.
