Wolf Bond

Cole informed that Emma was the one who found Donovon unconscious and helped him by carrying him to the pack clinic. She said she heard about the attack and came to help as she still considers this pack as hers.

We all have figured whatever is happening has something to do with her, but without any strong proof, we can’t do anything.

The feeling of being rejected is burning my heart like someone has poured acid on it, but I know this is the feeling with which I have to live with it. Because with Wolfie being gone. the connection I have with Donovon is also gone. Actually, now I feel it was never there in the first place... it was just my Wolfie from the beginning.

I don’t think I can forgive Donovon for what he has said, his words have cut deep into my soul. He doesn’t remember me or our mate bond, but it seems like he has turned blind and doesn’t want to see the truth that everyone is trying to show him.

But I will not give up on my Wolfie, I will fight to save my Wolfie. I can’t let him pay the price of his human.

I have to help Wolfie and bring him back, not to fill the void that loss of mate bond has created, but because Wolfie is the only one who truly loved and cared for me without being tied with the mate bond. The bond which we share is a bond of our hearts and true friendship.

Once Wolfie will return, I will go away from here taking my daughter with me. Because then my purpose here will be served and nothing here is going to tie me to this place. My heart will always lie with my Wolfie, but I know when I will tell him everything even he will understand why I have made this decision.

Restlessness grips my chest, while the walls of the room feel like closing on me, almost suffocating me.

Abruptly, I stand up and walk outside the guest bedroom. In the living room, I find Julia and Arthur talking with James who chose to stay with me because he is not ready to leave my side.

“What’s wrong, Ivy?” James’s eyes snap to mine, fully alert ready to take down anyone who has hurt his sister.

“Nothing, I am just feeling restless and I need some fresh air...” I force a smile and shake my head.

“Okay, I am coming with you.” He is about to stand up but stops when I shake my head.

“I need some time with myself, to clear my head.” I run my hand through my hair, “I just need to be alone...”

“Please...” I request when I see him opening his mouth to request.

The weight on my chest increases with every moment like somebody is sucking air from my lungs.

I nearly barge outside the house, while my insides are tearing apart.

My feet start walking on their own as I grip the front of my shirt tightly in my fist. Something is breaking me from inside as my heart fills with anguish.

I can feel Ella moving inside my belly as if even she can sense my distress. Tears run down from my eyes blurring the path on which I am walking as I rub circles on my belly to calm her down.

A small whimper leaves my mouth as I bend and hold my belly with my hands while a stabbing sensation shoots inside my heart.

Slowly, the pain is increasing like I am being burned alive.

Blinking my eyes to clear my vision, I find myself standing in the small clearing which is my and Wolfie spot.

I fall down on my knees as another wave of pain jolts throughout my body. I look around hoping for Wolfie to come from anywhere and save me from this pain. He’s the cure to my every pain.

I scream ripples from my throat when the mark on my neck burns and starts to bleed.

Fire’s painful howling rings inside my head, as she is not only going through this pain but her pain is much more intensified as she is taking as much pain as she can from me.

Soon her howls and my screams become one as unbearable pain ripples through our body.

"Our mate he has... marked..." She cries trying to tell me what is happening.

She doesn’t need to complete her sentence as I already understood he has marked her and the fire in which I am burning is because they are claiming each other.

“I am sorry...” She whimpers, “It hurts too much... I am losing control...” She howls and my own screams mixing with hers as my heart is twisting agonizingly while my mark is bleeding.

I whimper for another reason because I realize what she is saying.

My hands turn into claws as I dug my claws in the soil trying to control as much as I can. I can feel even Fire is trying to stop herself, but things are going out of her hand as the pain is becoming unbearable.

I scream through gritted teeth, as now I am on my hands and knees fighting off the shift. I bring my clawed hand near my stomach and dig my claws on the side of my stomach.

An agonizing scream leaves my mouth, as I run my claws across my stomach, slicing my flesh open. My hand covers in my blood, but it doesn’t stop me from slicing my skin again.

Placing my hand in the gash I try to feel my pup, desperately trying to take her out of my body as I know I can’t hold my shift much longer.

Hot tears continuously running down my face, falling on the soil, as the sound of snapping bones echoes in my ears... piercing my heart... dulling every other pain which I am experiencing.

This pain is like something which I have never felt before as it is not my bones that are breaking.

A combination of howl and cry escapes from me, as I fall on the ground holding my bump as my ears continue to ring with the horrific sound of breaking of bones.

With each snap of bone a piece of me dies, until there is nothing left to be broken. Silence surrounds me, as I quietly lay in my own pool of blood as my womb becomes grave of my daughter.

My fear... my worst nightmare finally turned into reality.

Donovon’s words resonate in my mind.

“I will kill you along with your child."

He did fulfill his promise, he killed me and my Ella.

Closing my eyes, I feel a few more tears slip from my eyes as I submit myself to the darkness, praying not to wake up again.
