Alpha Orion's Obsession
"Orion. Orion. Orion."
His name fell from my lips like a desperate prayer as we plunged deeper into the dark water. The impact had been brutal—even with our supernatural healing abilities, hitting the surface at that velocity had been like colliding with concrete.
Every bone in my body screamed in protest, but that pain was nothing compared to the terror clawing at my chest.
Something was wrong. Terribly, horribly wrong.
Orion's body had gone completely limp in my arms the moment we'd hit the water. His powerful frame, which had held me so protectively during our fall, now felt like dead weight dragging us both toward the murky bottom of what I could now see was a river.
