Semua Bab Mated To My Lycan Stepbrothers: Bab 461 - Bab 470

SIERRAEverything burned inside me. My bones felt like fire, like they were melting and rebuilding at the same time. I couldn’t breathe right. My chest tightened, and every beat of my heart felt like it might be the last.“Ahh!” I screamed as I dropped to my knees, the pain ripping through my body like lightning. “Zane!”“Sierra!” I heard his voice behind me, but it sounded so far away. Muffled. Like he was underwater and I was drowning somewhere deeper.My hands hit the ground, and I clawed at the cold, cracked stone beneath me. My fingernails scraped it, but I barely noticed. My breath came in short, panicked gasps. My skin started glowing, faint at first, then brighter and brighter, until silver light cracked out of me like I was made of glass and breaking apart.“Zane… something’s happening!” I cried, my voice trembling with fear.“I’m right here!” he shouted. “I’m not leaving you!”“It hurts!” I sobbed. “It hurts so much!”The pain was everywhere. My spine felt like it was splitt

MAYAWe stumbled out of the veil.Zane was carrying Sierra in his arms. Her head rested on his chest. Her skin looked pale, too pale. Her lips were dry and colorless. I couldn’t even hear her breathe.Lila was behind them. She wasn’t crying. She wasn’t talking. She looked lost. Her steps were slow and shaky. She limped like she didn’t feel her legs anymore.My heart stopped.“Oh my God!” I screamed, running toward them. “My babies!”I dropped to my knees right in front of Lila and pulled her into my arms. I kissed her face again and again. Her cheeks were cold and sticky with dried tears and dirt.“You’re here,” I said in a rush, my voice shaking. “You’re okay. You’re safe. Thank God. Thank God!”“Mom…” Lila whispered and hugged me weakly. Her arms barely wrapped around me. “We made it.”Then my eyes moved to Sierra.“Sierra?” I whispered, crawling quickly toward Zane. “Let me see her.”Zane nodded and gently lowered her down onto the grass so I could get closer. I leaned in fast, bru

KANEI stepped into Sierra’s room and closed the door behind me. It was quiet. Too quiet. No laughter. No talking. No life. Just her, lying there, still as ever.Zane sat beside her. He hadn’t moved much since we got her back. He looked like he hadn’t slept either."Hey," I said softly.He glanced at me, his eyes red. "Hey."I walked over and stood at the foot of the bed. Her skin was glowing faintly under the bandages. I didn’t know if that was good or bad anymore."She looks worse," I said."She’s holding on," Zane replied. "Barely."I sat down in the chair next to him and rubbed my face, fingers dragging down like they could scrape the frustration out of my skin. “I feel useless.”He didn’t say anything, so I kept talking, because if I didn’t, I’d scream.“I’m supposed to be strong, right? But when it mattered, all I could do was break the veil. I couldn’t protect her. I couldn’t stop what happened.”Zane finally turned to me, his eyes tired but steady. “You think she’d be alive ri

ZANE“Sierra,” I whispered, brushing her hair from her face. “Please wake up.”Her skin burned beneath my touch, hot with fever. Too hot. Her chest barely moved, like even breathing had become a fight. Panic clawed at my throat.I sat on the edge of the bed and gripped her hand tightly. It felt limp in mine, lifeless. “Sierra, come on,” I said again, voice cracking. “Say something. Anything.”The silence around us thickened. The air was still, holding its breath like I was. I wanted to scream, to shake her awake, to demand the universe give her back.Then…suddenly… her eyes flew open.She gasped, sucking in air like someone had punched the wind out of her lungs. Her entire body jolted beneath the sheets. I stumbled back and then surged forward.“Hey!” I jumped to my feet. Relief crashed over me like a tidal wave. “You’re awake! You’re okay!”But something was wrong.She didn’t look at me. Her eyes were glassy and wide, like she was seeing something I couldn’t. Her chest heaved, and he

THANEThe air changed. I stepped out onto the porch and looked up."What the hell..."The moon was turning red. Not just red, dark, like blood. A thick shadow swallowed the sky, and the air grew colder. My ears twitched.Howling. Dozens of animals, all over town. Dogs. Wolves. Even the cats were screeching like something was wrong."Thane!" my neighbor shouted. He was across the street, holding his daughter tight. "What's going on?!""Get inside," I said. "Now. Lock everything.""But…""Go!"He listened.I turned toward the woods.And then... it rained.Not water.Blood.Thick drops. Red. Warm."No way," I muttered, wiping my face again. My fingers came away smeared with dark crimson. It felt thick, like syrup. My shirt stuck to my skin, heavy and soaked."This... this isn't normal."The air smelled like metal. Like old blood and something rotten.The news anchor’s voice crackled through a nearby living room window. I turned slightly, trying to hear."A violent lunar eclipse has begun
