Semua Bab My True Mate: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Before I can stop myself, I’m already next to Sarah, ready to shift at the first sign of danger.I hear the sound again and this time it’s moving closer.A few of the soldiers, roused from their sleep by the sound of Sarah unsheathing her swords are on their feet as well.The crunching of the snow is getting louder and I move towards Kayla and Sarah, protectively. I ignore the frustrated look that Sarah sends my way. Her wolves surround us, including me, their hackles rising, their teeth bared in ferocious snarls.A tired voice comes out from the trees before a familiar looking male panther steps out, “We come in peace.”The Alpha of the Night Stalkers Panther tribe looks like he’s just walked through hell and back. There’s no trace of his usual cocky smirk on his face, weariness, grief, and anger lingering in his eyes.When he takes another step forward, I notice the limp in his leg and then I see the way his left leg is badly mangled. There’s a short woman assis

Her words are like a shock to my system and my mind immediately assumes the worst thing. Aliya takes one look at my face, “She’s not dying.”However, my panic is beginning to set in, “How do you know? You just said you couldn’t see inside of her-““Does she look like she’s dying?” Aliya gestures towards her, dryly. “There are no signs of illness on her and if there were, the Phoenix would have healed her. No,” Her tone becomes heavier, “She’s hiding something else.”“Ask her.”Aliya gives me a disbelieving look, “You’re so sure she’s going to tell me? Whatever is going on with her, she clearly does not want anyone knowing.”I’m not surprised.The change in Sarah is definitely obvious. She is quiet and more restrained. However, to think that she’s hiding something is worrisome. If it was anything life threatening, Ezekiel would have mentioned it, if not for Sarah, then for the sake of our son.I want to go up to her and demand what’s wrong but I know exactly how

“Me?” Sarah’s voice is so incredulous that for a moment even I doubt my words but then Aliya’s words make me a little more convinced. “It does make sense,” She say thoughtfully. “The visions change with each move you make. When you took the position of Alpha, there was a change in the visions. Till then I hadn’t seen the war about to take place. There had been a grayish blur. But because you became a catalyst of change, the Order became nervous. The when you took in Kayla, there was once a again a change int he upcoming war, a positive one. When you left the position of Alpha and lost your wolf, once again, the visions changed. I told Lucas this. I told him to bring you back. But he refused-“Sarah’s eyes shift towards me, a strange look in them and I growl, “I wasn’t going to force you to do anything, not even if it was for the greater good. You’ve gone through enough at my hands as it is.”The last part is muttered under my breath but she hears it.“And because you d

Sarah takes a step back, probably startled by the amount of anger in my voice.Seeing that, the guilt hits me like punch in the gut, but I don’t take back anything I said. It’s not going to change anything in the slightest so why bother. I just take a step back and then another before I turn around and begin walking back.I’ve barely taken a few steps when she says, quietly, “I don’t hate you.”Her words make me falter.I go still and a part of me wants to go to her and beg her to take me back but ‘I don’t hate you’ doesn’t translate into forgiveness.I take a shaky breath, trying to steady my wayward emotions.“I know that you must have fought back to the best of your ability and I’m sorry I used my words to hurt you the other day.”I can hear the guilt in her eyes and I close my eyes, trying to hold my own pain at bay.“But a part of me, the part that you loved, it’s completely broken. I don’t have the capacity to love you or anyone else anymore. There is

The panic that sets in is instant but before I can reach Kayla’s side, Sarah and Aliya are already there.Sarah props up the girl while Aliya tries to do something, muttering something under her breath.Whatever she’s speaking ends up making Kayla fall unconscious into Sarah’s arms. “What’s going on?” I demand, taking Kayla into my arms and checking her pulse.“Her transformations are too erratic,” Aliya finally says, her voice tense. “A Phoenix takes twenty years to fully transform. They are not meant to transform this early, She should not be able to produce fire at this age. Her fast progression is harming her body.”“What do we do?” I ask, urgently.Aliya just shakes her head, “I don’t know. Like I said, there isn’t a lot I know about the Phoenix. My knowledge is limited. For the past few centuries, they have been protected and hidden. Especially after the Great War.”I take a deep breath, “So what now?”“Let her rest. I’ll make some remedy for her to slow
