Semua Bab Shifter Short Stories: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Karalee's P.O.V.I can't believe Liam doesn't recognize me. I know we only officially met several hours ago, but he said he's been following me for months. Maybe he has some temporary amnesia. I push the call light for the nurse."I'm Karalee," I tell him as my tears fall. He narrows his eyes and shakes his head slightly."I don't recognize you," Liam replies. The nurse and doctor walk into the room."He's awake but doesn't remember who I am," I tell them, wiping the tears from my face."Let's take a look." The doctor asks him his birthdate, who the president is, and a few other questions."Do you know where you are?" The doctor asks."I'm in the hospital," Liam replies."What country are you in?" he asks."Australia. I came here to see a fight." I start to feel relieved until the next question."Who did you come here to see fight?" The doctor asks."Polly, she's my girlfriend." I gasp as I look at him in horror. How does he even know Polly, and why would he say she is his girlfriend?

Karalee's P.O.V.I don't know how long I've been staring at the hospital before I take a deep breath and finally walk inside. My heart is racing as I make my way to the desk."Can I help you?" A woman asks without looking up."I'm here to see Liam Mullins," I reply, even though it's hard to speak with the knot in my throat. She types on the computer and shakes her head."Sorry, he's no longer here. He checked himself out against medical advice about thirty minutes ago." She says. My heart drops. Did he leave to find Polly?"Does it say if he left alone or if someone picked him up?" I ask as my tears threaten to fall. She sighs and looks again."It doesn't say." She answers. I feel like I'm going to be sick as I turn toward the door. He left, and now I have no idea where to look for him. My heart is breaking, and even Eva is quiet as I walk to my apartment. I still don't know what to do. I needed to talk to Liam before I make a decision. I can't help thinking about him running around l

Karalee's P.O.V.I give Liam a final kiss before we leave the locker room. Mason is waiting for us and looks at Liam suspiciously. "Who's this?" he asks. I ignore him, so Benji answers."That's none of your business. Karalee wants him here, and that's all that matters. Now let's get ready to go." I glance at Liam and wink. He smiles, and I feel like I'm going to melt. I can't wait to beat this bitch’s ass and take him home. I hear them announce Polly first."Polly is five feet five inches and weighing in at one hundred thirty pounds. Coming from Brisbane, she has a record of seventeen wins and no losses." A few people cheer, but there are a lot more boos. When my music starts, we come out of the tunnel, and I can feel the thunderous cheers in my bones."Welcome, Sydney's very own Karalee, aka Mighty Mouse. She's five feet two inches and weighing in at one hundred twenty-five pounds. She holds the record for women's featherweight champion with twenty-three wins and no losses." Once a

Sarita's P.O.V.I return home after telling my daughter about my plans for her little whore. However, I have no intention of touching that waste of flesh. I kick Christy as I walk by, where she's still sleeping on the floor. I prefer men, but that doesn't mean I won't get into Polly's head and make her think I'm going to do all sorts of things to Christy.I will do whatever it takes to ensure Karalee doesn't mark her mate. It will ruin everything I've spent years putting together if she does. That stupid hippity, hoppity kangaroo doesn't even know what she is or the truth about her parents. Maybe I'll enlighten her after I kill her mate.If I had my way, I would kill Karalee, but I can't. The spell that was placed to protect her will kill me if I harm her. I'm not sure if it will affect Polly the same way. That's why I haven't told her about it, so I can send her in to kill Karalee after I kill her mate. If the spell kills Polly, then so be it. I can always have another pawn. She's no

Karalee's P.O.V.Where am I? I must be dreaming. That's the only explanation for why I'm looking at my parents. I rub my eyes, and they're still there."Hi, Karalee." When my mom speaks, I scream, but they don't react."Where am I? Am I dead?" If I'm not dreaming, I have to be dead. Did Polly trick us and kill me?"No, you're not dead, and you're not dreaming. Your father and I are dead, but we're able to speak to you through your subconscious. You're still on Liam's lap in your apartment. Time on Earth is slower than it is here, so when you wake up, so to speak, it will seem as though only seconds have passed rather than minutes." I can't believe this is actually happening. I start crying as I stare at them. It's my fault they're dead."I'm so sorry I got you killed. You would never have left the house if I had stayed in bed that night." I sob into my hands. When I feel them hugging me, I'm shocked. How can I feel them if this is my subconscious?"We knew you were going to sneak out
