Chapter 72
Lots of things are going on in my mind... every answer leads to another question. However, amidst this, there is something that is bothering me a lot.
I have felt Wolfie’s presence in Donovon’s mind and I am sure it was not just my imagination when I heard his voice. But, Donovon was not able to feel Wolfie. I am worried that this cast has severed the connection between him and his wolf permanently.
Whenever I think about all these things, an unsettling feeling consumes me while hot rage starts to build inside me. I just want to destroy everyone who is the cause of all the things that have gone wrong in our lives.
“The darkness is increasing...” Micah’s voice startles me, “Little by little, the Moon is losing its brightness...shadows are overpowering everything because the moon is not shining to kill the darkness. The moon is turning dark.”
“What are you talking about?” Turning to him, I frown at him in confusion.
He has that weird look on his face, which I always find creepy as it seems like he is lost in his own world.
Blinking, a small smile stretches on his lips.
“I am talking nonsense.” He shrugs with a smile, “Don’t pay heed to my nonsense, just focus on yourself, and on your brightness then everything will be fine.”
I stare at him, because even though I haven’t understood what he was saying earlier... but for some reason, it didn’t felt like it was nonsense.
Is he trying to warn me about something?
“Donovon is gone.” Wyatt’s voice turns our attention to him, as he runs towards us with a grave expression. And suddenly, chills run down my spine.
Because this only means that he will again no longer remember anything.
“He was looking confused,” Cole informs us, meeting us near the pack as we walk towards the pack, “Lost and sad.” He whispers quietly, hurting for his friend.
Micah and Wyatt are in human forms while Gavin is in his wolf form. However, I have left Jenna and Luca with Ella as I can’t leave her unguarded.
I don’t know what should I expect when we go there, but what I am certain about is that Emma will pay for her deeds.
“We will help him, to guide him back.” Placing my hand on his shoulder, I give it a light squeeze.
"We will not let him lose himself." Looking at me he gives me a small smile while nodding his head to himself.
My heart is aching for Donovon as I know the moments which he shared with Ella mean so much to him. And now maybe he will not be able to remember those moments.
We reached the packhouse, and move towards the part of the house which belongs to him.
However, instead of going inside, Wyatt and Cole decided to check the surroundings for any suspicious activity and also to search if there is anyone around the house. Micah has hidden our scents so Emma, or if anyone who is helping her is around, will not be able to find out about our presence.
While I decided to go directly inside the house because I am done with her games and I don't care if even an army backing her up because I will make her regret everything she has done.
Quietly, I go towards Donovon's room while Micah follows me keeping an eye on our surroundings. Peeking inside through Donovon’s bedroom's half-open door I find him inside the room. But what I see next consumes my entire being in hot blazing fury.
Emma undresses herself, and wrapping her arms around Donovon she kisses him while Donovon is kissing her back. But my eyes notice how his hands are clenched and shaking beside his sides like he is trying to control his actions but failing.
She tears his shirt and starts placing kisses on his neck, and the look on Donovon’s face is of nothing but pure torture.
“No, Ivory... my mate.” Momentarily, Donovon’s eyes flash as his wolf trying to come forward while a weak growl leaves his lips when she bites his neck. “Only Ivory.” He pushes her away struggling against the control.
She smirks looking at him, and raises her eyebrow, "No, Ivory... only me... your mate." Then without any warning, she sinks her teeth in his neck marking him.
Fire growls inside me, as my entire body burns with rage while my canines elongate wanting to taste Emma's blood when life leaves her body.
"Mine." A growl vibrates from inside my chest, "MINE!"
Suddenly, Fire takes over my senses and I feel only two things, rage and power running through my veins.
In an instant, I am beside Donovon as I grab Emma's hair and pull her away from Donovon throwing her against the wall. My chest rises and falls in anger as I stand protectively in front of Donovon.
Turning my head to my right, I check on Donovon as he bends down while placing his hand on his neck.
"Ivory." He lifts his head and his eyes meet mine as recognition passes through them.
The sound of Emma struggling forces me to tear my eyes away from Donovon, as I find Micah holding her by her neck while she is partially shifted.
"Leave her," I order.
Micah looks at me, but doesn't lose his hold on her.
"Leave her," I repeat sternly glaring at Micah.
Then my lips twist into a sadistic smile, when my eyes travel to her, "She is mine to kill."
Sorry, this is really very short chapter as I didn't get much time to write as today's my birthday and I was busy spending time with my family. Since I write and update daily, I didn't want to break this tradition on my birthday that's why even though it's a short chapter, but I have decided to post it.:)
