Chapter 8-Aylin

Unwilling and unable to think about what I've just done, I portal myself and Damon's eerily still body down to the Underworld hospital. Despite knowing my mark will heal him, unreasonable panic is still coursing through me. Thanks to said panic, I have so very little control over myself and my power right now, causing a tempestuous storm to swirl around the hospital.

As I land, I hear cries of alarm, either in response to my less than peaceful appearance or to the violent thunder that now paints the sky of my kingdom black. I hear them but don't fully acknowledge them enough to get a grip on myself as I run into the emergency department. The staff momentarily freeze in their spots when they see me, but given the panic that's likely written on my face, they snap out of it and move quickly as I slam my mate down on a stretcher by the nurse's station.

"Save him. He's my mate," I choke out, and a beat of silence passes as everyone absorbs that before they frantically move into action.
