Chapter 57

“Little mate.”

He whispered still rocking me in his arms. His touch was soothing. Comforting me, I’d had some crazy thoughts about him before, what if something had happened?

He was the injured one but it felt like I was the injured one. Though we were both hurt.

“You’re all I need.” I sniffed and touched his wound. He whined when I did. I hit his arm.

He covered me in his arms again.

“I could alone hear your voice. And I knew I had to come to get you. You’ve to be by my side okay? Forever. I love you. Little mate and non of this is your fault.”

I bawled like a child.

I didn’t know what I was feeling. I was hurt, I felt hurt for Zyair and Louis.

But here I was being loved by him.

“Look at me.” He lift my chin so I could stare at him and I had my eyes fixed on him. With my running nose.

I met him and he brought out my weakness and showed me there was more to the life that I had been used to. And it was a welcome to his world.

“No matter what, I promise you, I’ll always stand by you. No matter what. I’ll stay strong for you. Because when I lost it you were the reason I kept on. I wanted to find you. I wanted to meet you and I wanted to love you. Those thoughts kept me. You did nothing wrong. What’s happening isn’t your fault. And we’re gonna have you cured. You trust me, don’t you? I’ll take care of you. And promise you a happily ever after.”

And he kissed me. Shutting me up with the kiss. What more could I ask?

The moon goddess was seeing this. The only thing I wanted was that you fulfilled his wishes and help Zyair. To give me what he promised.

“It can’t be Louis! No!” Mark cried. When ran

to meet him. I had the wolf bring him. He should at least say goodbye to him. My eyes were all puffy and red from the crying.

Louis wasn’t dead yet. But he was on the brink of it.

“Why did you do it?”

“Mark... it's nice I got to see you.” He Shut his eyes for a moment and opened them again.

“I don’t regret what I did. I can go now and without being called a foolish son who couldn’t take revenge for what was done to..” He stopped to catch his breath. He was using a lot of effort in talking.

“Don’t talk anymore. We’ll save you.”

“Why? I don’t want to be saved and face the embarrassment later on. I missed my family, I should meet them.”

“What about us, what about me? You were my brother too.”

“Take care of Ammy. You know I like her.”

He chuckled, which brought blood off his mouth. I wiped my eyes and looked away.

“Just shut up please!” Mark was crying, we both were. I didn’t want him to see me crying.

I squat and held Louis's hand.

“You’ve to be strong, we’ll save you.” He shook his head.

“I knew for a long in case you were wondering, I know you want to ask. I saw you once.” He smiled and did the most shocking, he took out my dagger with my hand with it and stabbed himself in his chest.

“No!” l yelled and removed my hand but it was already too late.

“Louis!”

Mark cried on his body.

I sat on the ground, with my legs to my knees. What just happened?

“Is he..?”

“He’s dead.” The physician said and stood up. After he had covered his body.

I wanted us to leave together again. I wanted us to be just as we were.

He was the first friend I got and the very first male wolf I liked and grew attached to and I kept telling myself each time that I can’t kill Louis. I shouldn’t ever hurt him. That was how I had lived with him for a year. And when I was to fight him earlier I couldn’t because of how I’d build myself around him.

I cried. Holding my chest.

“It’s okay” Zyair held my hand and stare at the hand that he had bitten which had been treated by the physician.

“He’s dead.” I gagged.

Zyair nodded and took me in his arms.

“You should get some rest.”

“How can I? I watched him die with my dagger on his chest.”

“He was already dead and he just wanted the dead to come quicker. Nothing would have been done to save him.”

“You’re not helping.” I scolded.

“Sorry.”

“I never thought of this day, I thought we could live forever.” I sniffed and leaned my head on his shoulders. As he takes me back to the room. My head was hurting and I needed some rest.

He needs it too.

“Stop pushing me away, we don’t know how long we’ve got left.”

“A long time.” He coughed.

I wiped my face and I got doubts about what he said I was concerned about him.

“We can’t mate why? Tell me, I can take everything now.”

I stare at his dull eyes. That wasn’t that bright anymore. It wasn’t bright this night, and neither was anyone else. We’ll have that same tired look and wish this day would go just as fast as it came.

“You.” He mouthed.

“Why me?”

“I got sick because of you. When we mated. I gave you my strength to keep you and to make you stay longer so we could have time to find a cure.”

“You knew that before you came to me that night?”

“Yes.”

So many heartaches, so many hurts in that one night. A lot had happened that made me regret it so much.

My head was spinning. I couldn’t form words and the next I saw was darkness.

Take me to the great beyond.

I thought I could take it but I couldn’t, the hurts weren’t something I could control.

I passed out in his arms.
