LOGINI take a step back, my face scrunching, my head shaking. “You can’t possibly care about me that much. I’ve done nothing but make your life harder, argue with you at every turn, push you away. You just can’t.”“That’s not up to you, Sweetheart.” My head turns to Orion. “We can’t help that we feel that way. Even with you pushing us away at every turn. We still want you. I don’t think there’s much you can do that would change our minds on it.” “And no. That’s not a challenge.” Cyrus jokes, and I turn back to look at him.I can’t help but laugh.My head falls, shaking back and forth, “I don’t know how to do this.” I whisper. Cyrus reaches for my chin, lifting it so he can look into my eyes. “Luckily, we’re not too versed on it either. We’ll figure it out together.”I give him a curt nod, “Okay.”“Great. Glad you guys figured it out. Can we get to why I’m here now?” Colt deadpans from the side. Cyrus’s kind eyes turn to a glare as he turns to his friend. “Sorry, for inconveniencing you try
I don’t know when I fell asleep while he was still healing me, but clearly, I did.I wake up in our bed, the stabbing feeling in my stomach gone, along with the blood covering my body.Not sure I want to know how that was accomplished without me even waking up, but I’m not going to lie, it feels so much better. They put me in the lavender hoodie and sweats set that I’ve come to absolutely love since I’ve been here.I slowly sit up and look around the room, Orion and Cyrus are both sleeping on the couch. And strangely enough, Colt’s sleeping on the chair next to them.Why the fuck is he here?I ignore the hatred still burning in my soul for him, and slowly get out of bed, not wanting to wake them and deal with the reality of everything that happened yesterday.I tiptoe over to the bathroom. I almost make it. Just three more tiptoes and I would have been safe, but Colt’s voice freezes me. “We have to talk about yesterday.” His voice harsh from sleep.I slowly turn towards him, seeing th
All I remember is everything going black, then my eyes opening in this cave, my arms, my body, covered in blood. How would I have even managed to kill her? It makes no sense.I can’t focus enough to even look at the people surrounding me. I know it’s them… I know they’re all here, but I can’t look them in the eye, not after what I did.“Hey, hey, calm down. It’s going to be okay.” Orion’s soothing voice cracks through the rushing water sound plaguing my head.My head shakes, “I killed her. I killed her.” I rasp, strong arms wrap around me, but I have no idea whose. I’m lifted into the air, then darkness attacks my vision again.But it’s not the same. I’m still here... I’m still here…The bright lights surround me, kick starting my senses, and I push myself out of whoever’s holding onto me. I land on my feet and instantly start pacing. “I don’t want to be here.” I whisper, mostly to myself.“You have to be here. You’re bleeding.” Cyrus says, taking a step closer to me. His voice softer
Orion's POVI stand there staring at the door where she left. I want to follow her, ensure she’s okay, but it’s a war inside. I can’t ensure her safety and listen to her at the same time. She doesn’t want us to follow her, and I know we need to listen.Cyrus stands from his spot on the ground, and Colt walks over to ensure he’s okay. “I’m fucking fine. What the fuck was that?” He snarls, his head snapping to the healer.The healer stands straightening his clothes, and looking back at him like nothing happened. Like Cyrus didn’t have him pinned to the wall a minute ago.“I think that was her order.” He tells the room and we all just stare at him shocked.My dad walks further into the room, “And what order would that be?” He asks, I wait for the answer. Because I’ve been around several orders and I’ve never felt heat like that.“I’m honestly not sure.” He whispers. Cyrus groans, “Of fucking course you don’t know. Do you know anything that can help our mate?” He shouts.My eyes close, “E
My eyes widen as Orion and Cyrus come into the room. My head swings to Colt, “What did you do?” I snap. His eyes fill with pity, but I can see he doesn’t regret it.Cyrus has the healer pinned to the wall before my next breath, his hand wrapped around his neck as he fights to breathe.“Stop!” I shout, jumping off the bed and rushing over to them, but Orion’s arm wraps around my waist holding me back. “Let me go!” I shout. Feeling caged and helpless for the first time since I got here.The healers face turns red, oxygen nonexistent in his life. “What the fuck haven’t you told us?” Cyrus shouts, as the healer claws at Cyrus’s hands.“Please! Stop!” I beg them, but in all falls on deaf ears.I pull at Orion’s hand, but it doesn’t budge.So, I do something that I probably shouldn’t. “OW!” I shout, grabbing at my stomach. Orion’s arms immediately release me, and I fall to the ground. “Thea?” I hear Orion’s worry, but I ignore it, rushing in-between the healer and Cyrus.I place my hand on
The rest of the lunch went well. It honestly felt natural. Susan is so easy to get along with, I felt like I’ve known her my whole life.Now, I’m at the healers, his face grim after doing another whatever the fuck he does to me.“No better I take it.”He sighs frustrated. “You’re not dying. Just not fucking healing either.”My head tilts, “What do you think that’s all about? I mean I know I’m not your usual clientele, but it can’t be that different.” I tell him, and he takes a deep breath. “There’s definitely a difference, but I’ve worked on humans before. This is something else. It’s like there’s something keeping me from being able to heal you.”“So… I’m unhealable?” I joke, scoffing out a laugh, “Sounds about right.”“No. You’re missing something.” My head snaps towards the door as Colt walks through anger written all over his face.My eyes narrow, “What the hell are you doing here?” I snap, and his eyes narrow on mine. “Well, if you refuse to tell the Alphas about this, then you’r
