Chapter 71

Ishaan turned when the Body did, turned and headed through the door to the house, which was swiftly closed as soon as the last of them were through. Ishaan collapsed against the wall, clutching at the pain in his side from where he hit the wall. Carina was instantly at his side, pressing his face between her hands and staring deeply into his eyes. “My mate?”

“He threw me into the wall kinda hard.” Ishaan tried to laugh, but that just made the pain in his side worse. “I’ll be ok, I think it’s just a bruised rib.”

“My Heart, your skills are needed.” Carina backed away to give room to the Heart who ran a gentle finger down over the place that hurt.

“There are two cracked ribs, my Soul.” The Heart said, pushing against the hurt more seriously. “He must be moved to the tub carefully; one is on the verge of puncturing his lung.”

Stefan stepped forward, handing off his spear to Hale before helping Ishaan up off the floor. “He has defended my Soul, I will help him to the tub.”
