Semua Bab Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother: Bab 81 - Bab 87

Nate's POVThe growl ripped me from sleep. Low. Dangerous. The kind of sound that made every instinct scream danger. I opened my eyes. Dora stood at the door. Every muscle in her wolf body was tense. Ready. Her silver fur bristled. Her teeth were bared. Something was very wrong.I shifted back to human. Needed hands. Needed to raise the alarm. I crossed to the door. Pounded on it. "We need help out here. Now."The explosion answered me. The entire compound shook. Dust rained from the ceiling. Another explosion. Closer. Louder. The walls trembled. Screams echoed from somewhere above. Not screams of surprise. Screams of pain. Of death."What the hell?" I grabbed my clothes. Started dressing. Fast. Dora paced. Agitated. She wanted out. Wanted to fight. Another explosion. The door buckled. Metal groaned. Not from the blast. From Dora. She hit it with her shoulder. The steel bent. She hit it again. The hinges gave. The door crashed outward.The hallway was chaos. Smoke. Fire. Bodies. Gua

Nate's POVThe shift happened so fast I barely processed it. One second Dora was a massive silver wolf tearing through enemies. The next she was human. Naked. Vulnerable. Kneeling on blood soaked ground in the middle of a battlefield.Every eye turned toward her. Rogues. Mercenaries. Vampires. They saw the opportunity. Saw weakness where moments before there had been unstoppable power. They moved as one. Converging on her position like sharks scenting blood in water.I did not think. Did not plan. I shifted mid run and threw myself over her. My body covered hers. Shielded her from the claws and teeth and eyes that wanted to tear her apart. Pain exploded across my back as something sharp raked across my shoulders. I felt blood. Hot. Wet. Pouring down my spine."Nate." Her voice. Confused. Disoriented. Like she was waking from a dream. "What happened? Why am I?""Stay down." I took another hit. This one deeper. Felt it scrape bone. My vision blurred. How long could I hold them off? Not

Nate's POVShe went limp in my arms. Total dead weight. Her head lolled back. Eyes rolled up showing only whites. Blood ran from her nose and ears in steady streams that soaked into my shirt and I did not care. Did not notice. Could only focus on the bond between us.It flickered. Weak. Fading like a candle in wind. She was dying. My mate was dying and I could do nothing but hold her."Dora. Dora stay with me." I shook her gently. Then harder. Nothing. No response. No flutter of eyelids. No catch of breath. "Please. Please do not do this. Do not leave me."Elder Moira dropped to her knees beside us. Her hands moved over Dora's body. Checking pulse. Breathing. Temperature. Her face grew more worried with each second. "The power strain. It nearly destroyed her from the inside. Her organs are shutting down. Her brain is swelling. She needs a healer immediately.""Then heal her." My voice broke. Shattered. "Fix her. Do something.""I am not that kind of healer. I can set bones. Stitch wo

  Nate's POV I had seen Dora broken before. Bleeding. Desperate. But watching her walk into that courtyard knowing she was dying was different. It carved something hollow in my chest. Left me raw. She glowed. Silver moonlight poured from her skin like she had swallowed the moon itself. But beneath the glow I saw the truth. Saw how her legs trembled. How each step cost her everything. How blood still seeped through her clothes from wounds that refused to close. Richard stood in the courtyard's center. Around him stretched a massive ritual circle. Symbols drawn in blood. Candles positioned at precise points. Crystals that pulsed with dark energy. Vincent moved along the circle's edge. His lips moved in chants I could not understand. Ancient words that made my wolf recoil. "There she is." Richard's smile was victory. Pure satisfaction. "Right on time." "I a
