Semua Bab Kiss Me Before The Sky Falls: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Mira's POVI stepped into the ring with my knuckles still throbbing. Tyrell had wrapped bandages around the burn wounds."Are you really sure you can fight with this injury?" He'd asked."There's no other option. If I miss the match, my partner gets an automatic win."And here I was, standing next to a shifter warrior from East Mark, waiting for the beast we would fight against.The instructor waved his hand and the gate was pulled up. The beast roared in the cage. Shivers ran down my spine.The beast had a lion's head and sat on a tiger's body with thick muscles rippling under striped fur. The mane around its head looked less like hair and more like darts. Its tail was thick and long with spikes all over it.The girl beside me didn't say a word. She kept her eyes locked on the beast, jaw tight, arms crossed over her chest."This is a Manticur," the instructor announced. "Beware. Its bite can shatter bone and the barbs from its mane are venomous."Sweat pooled at my brows. I wasn't su

Serena's POV I sat next to Mira's bed, watching her chest rise and fall. The monitor beside her bed beeped steadily. Josh paced the ward with his hands in his pockets. He sighed over and over again. I peered at him and saw him blinking back tears. Mira's condition was indeed heartbreaking. There were bandages all over her body, and according to Tyrell, she hadn't opened her eyes since the fight ended. "I wasn't even there to protect her," Josh groaned. "Don't blame yourself. She passed out in the ring. It's not like you would have gone in there to fight for her." Josh shook his head over and over again. "I should have been there." "You were training. You didn't know this would happen." "Damn it!" Josh punched the wall hard. "Calm down! You need to control your emotions. Tyrell said her vitals are okay," I said. "But she hasn't moved a limb since we got here." I couldn't argue with him. The situation was concerning. I heard the other girl who faced the beast was already awak

Tyrell's POVI stepped into the ward and stopped short at the doorway.Josh had his arm draped over Mira's shoulder, leaning close while Serena stood a few feet away, arms crossed, staring at the two of them with a fierce look on her face.It was a pleasant surprise to see that Mira had woken up. I thought Josh and Serena would be in jubilant moods, but the atmosphere in the ward was negative.It was such an awkward moment. Nobody said anything to each other. The silence was just unnerving.Something was clearly not right. But that wasn't my business. I had a patient to attend to.I cleared my throat. "Serena, did you get the pills?"She nodded, taking her eyes off Josh and Mira. She showed me a plastic bag."Here," she said."Thank you."I took the bag from her and set it down on the stool next to Mira's bed."Okay, I need the two of you to step out for a minute," I told them. "I want to run some checks on her.""Is that necessary? She looks fine already," Josh said."It's necessary.

Serena's POVI sat on the low stone wall next to the garden with knees pulled up to my chin. The sun was slowly setting in the western horizon, and birds were singing happy songs.But I was anything but happy. I couldn't get the image of Josh hugging Mira so tightly out of my head. Even when they saw me, he still held his arm over her shoulder intimately. That was the problem. Hugging wasn't really a problem, but the way Josh did it. . . It looked intimate. ~Maybe it's not that deep.~That's what I told myself after the forehead kiss too. I rationalized it away. He'd just watched Mira nearly die in that ring. Of course he would be emotional. But the hug was different. It wasn't a moment of panic in a crisis. Mira was awake, looking okay and Josh held on to her like she was the most fragile thing in the world. A sigh escaped my lips. It shouldn't have come to this. I tried talking to him about it. Calmly. I didn't want trouble. I just wanted answers. He got defensive immediately a

Caden's POVI stepped into the dining hall and my eyes landed on Mira. I'd just come back from the clinic where Tyrell told me she was discharged. Then someone from her hostel told me she was here. I looked at her from across the room. She sat alone near the window, twirling pasta on her fork. A sense of calm settled on me as I watched. ~She's really fine. Full of life again after that ugly match.~I thought she was never going to wake up. I still remembered her body feeling limp in my arms. The way her skin was cold under my hands.“Mira…” her name left my lips in a low whisper.She didn't answer when I said her name. I flexed my fingers and approached her table. I thought about how to approach her this time. ~She's made it clear she doesn't want us to talk anymore. She's dodged me every single time. Even faked calls to get away from me.~I kept going although I wasn't sure what I would say to change her mind. At least, I could just tell her I was happy she survived. I arrived
