Alpha's Healer
I fall to my knees, and the rage and helplessness crash over me in a wave so brutal I want to claw my own heart out just to make it stop.
And then I see it.
The wound.
It's there in the bond-space, same as it is in the real world—a jagged tear in my side, edges black and puckered. But here, I can see what it really is.
Threads.
Black threads, oily and alive, crawling out of the wound like roots. They're wrapping around the bond—the golden cord that ties me to Alyssa—and every time they tighten, the light dims.
They're trying to strangle it.
