“Phoenix are you okay?” I said with my heart in my mouth.

Oisin took a step forward but Phoenix raised his hand and stopped him.

“I’m fine.” He said. I helped him stand back up.

He placed on hand on his head.

“I just got a little dizzy there.” He said.

I remembered how I had let him climb the stairs here by himself. I hadn’t been paying attention to him, but he must have struggled and used a lot of energy to climb the steps.

Anger flared up within me.

“Where you pushing yourself earlier?” I asked in a low dangerous tone.

Phoenix turned to me with slight surprise on his face. He hadn’t been expecting anger from me just now and I could tell.

“It was nothing. How useless am I if I can’t even climb a flight if stairs?” Phoenix asked.

“I thought I told you not to push yourself!” He was infuriating me now, why didn’t he listen.

“Must you prove that you’re strong!?” I prodded. He had pushed himself so much. I found it admirable, but now I couldn’t bare it if it cost him so much. Why couldn’

  • MY SECOND-CHANCE MATE IS A WOLF HUNTER   PHOENIX (75)

    Another migraine hit me.But luckily it was a lot weaker than the last one. I got off easily as I only had to push against the wall with one hand for support. After I waited for five seconds, most of the pain receded.Worry flashed through my mind. Everyday it seemed like my condition wasn’t getting any better. I was too weak to do anything and I had been in a coma for awhile.I had been a constant burden to Morning and the others, because they had to carry me just to get by.What if I never got better?It never crossed my mind to be worried for myself. Ever since the day I walked away from the church, I had been ready to die for what was right. That was no concern to me.But I was scared that I would die before I could complete my mission. Even with many months of being an outlaw, I had not gotten any great achievement. I had made little progress in my mission. Things were moving forward, especially now. But what if I never recovered. It would be a cruel joke from Sol.I was more th

    Morning immediately exploded into a tirade of angry words.I cringed inwardly because I immediately recognized my poor choice of words. Morning had been placing emphasis on the need for me to take a break for awhile now. I could now confirm that she wouldn’t feel good when I ended up doing the opposite of that.“I told you not to push yourself!” Morning exclaimed, confirming my thoughts.Of course I was sorry for how I made her feel.I understood what she meant when she told me not to push myself, but it was just an understanding of the words themselves.Ever since the first day I could remember, which was about thirteen years ago, things have never been easy. From then on I constantly had to push myself to keep going.All my years in the church emphasized this. Even though all my achievements there ended up being worthless to me now, I had still pushed myself to get them. To be the best.And my current mission was the most important. I knew that it depended on me to save all the live

    Earlier that evening.I made sure that my entire group were ahead of me on the flight of stairs. It wasn’t very difficult because they all seemed to forget about my condition. Of course that had a lot to do with my own efforts.Even as I looked up the seemingly impossibly high flight of stairs, my head banged. The headache seemed to come and go with unpredictable intervals in between.The innkeeper was helping carry Rowena up the stairs and Morning was focused on him.I took in a deep breath. I couldn’t linger at the bottom for long unless Morning and the others would notice. And I completely refused the idea of Morning carrying me up the stairs in her arms like a baby.I took the first step, it was difficult instantly. I gritted my teeth and pushed past the pain. I kept a steady pace so as not to alert any of them as I followed behind. Every step was difficult.I needed an anchor to escape the pain. My eyes went to Morning and I focused on her hair. It was midnight black and luscious

    The innkeeper examined our group.I held Rowena against my body. I had walked to the inn with her directly strung over my shoulder. It had been a tough walk but I was able to pull it off. I had a thin layer of sweat over my skin. As I entered the inn, I let her feet drop to the ground. I didn’t want to make it look too odd that I was carrying her all by myself.Phoenix stood in the front, he had dropped off Oisin’s hand after we stepped into the inn. I didn’t protest because I knew he was just going to talk to the inn keeper.Roman stood behind with Oisin. The inn keeper had a complicated expression on his face, as if he wasn’t quite expecting a group like ours.I doubted that our worn out clothes were helping his impression.He dropped the glass he had been cleaning and chewed on the stick in his mouth.I had to wonder how many glasses he had to clean. I had definitely been gone for over an hour and most of the nighttime drunks had already retired to their rooms.“What do you mean b

    I followed behind Orlaith and Oisin as they moved to Phoenix. The bear was already carrying Rowena across his back. It was a sad contrast to when Rowena had been vibrant and riding on his back. But at least she wasn’t dead yet.Phoenix moved from the tree he was resting against and wobbled slightly. I wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t watching specifically for it because he corrected his stance almost immediately. The glimpse of his true state that I had caught was enough to tell me all I needed to know.He was still very much sick. Or whatever was wrong with him.“Alright, let’s start moving now.” Phoenix said.I moved over to him, passing Orlaith without looking at him.“Orlaith is going to carry you too until we reach the edge of the forest.” I reminded him.Phoenix nodded his head gravely. That’s fine but I’ll walk the rest of the way.“No you won’t.” I said.He raised an eyebrow. “How will we manage that? You’ll be carrying Rowena so you can’t help me.” Phoenix said.“Oisin will
