Chapter 84: Chapter 84
Adrian snorted and then smirked "That’s an understatement" he said "Remember when we were waiting in line at the fast food place and there was this really annoying girl who kept changing her order?"
"What happened?" I asked already smirking, thinking of how lux might react.
"After about the fifth time the girl changed her order Lily tapped her on the shoulder and then asked her to at least decide before going to order and the girl flipped her off" he said "You should have seen her face man" he laughed "She tapped the girl on the shoulder again and then downed her entire cup of soda down the girl’s shirt. Then she walked past her, ordered for us and walked away"
I chuckled and the twins laughed "The look on that bitchy girl’s face.." Dave said smiling "She definitely got boiled"
"Roasted and" Jim continued but both of their smiles faded and they looked down. Xavier sighed and the bad mood was back on all of us.
"I’m gonna go check on-" I started but stopped when I heard a pained scream that was definitely lux’s. I bolted up the stairs in inhuman speed and went in the room only to freeze at the sight I saw before me.
Lily was on the bed, convulsing and writhing in pain with her eyes closed, her stomach cut open and some sort of machine attached to her as she screamed.
"Damn it her organs are already failing" Miranda said as she worked on her she seemed to notice me in the room but I didn’t look at her and kept my gaze at Lily, frozen in shock "Ren get him out of here"
Ren stood in front of me and lead me outside. I followed her numbly and when the door closed, cutting my view of my mate I leaned against the wall, feeling as if I couldn’t stand.
"Ethan, Ethan Focus I need your help"
I snapped back to reality and looked at her. She was covered in blood, lux’s blood. and she looked tired as hell "What? How can I help?"
"What’s lux’s blood group?"
"A positive" Xavier said walking towards us
"We need blood for her, fast. How many of you are A positive?"
"We are" The twins answered "Jacob too"
"I am" I said
"Good I’m gonna take you now, she’s lost a lot of blood from her previous injuries and the shot didn’t help"
"What were her injuries?" I asked, I already knew she was injured it showed when I saw her in the woods but I needed to know exactly what they did to her. Ren looked hesitant "Please Ren; I need to know"
"She had bruises on her stomach so she was punched and kicked there, she was also cut all over; her arms, legs, stomach, face. And on her back were..." She trailed on, her voice breaking. "She just had a lot of injuries"
"What were you gonna say?" I said, my fists clenched, my wolf howling in rage "On her back what?"
She looked pained as she answered "Whip marks" she said "She was whipped, severely"
That did it, seeing her all bloody now and then hearing what happened to her made me snap. My wolf took full control as I growled, punching the wall behind me. I threw everything that was around me; growling and snarling in agony and fear for my mate. I couldn’t help it, It was all my fault, everything that happened to her was my fault
I felt the guys trying to hold me but they couldn’t. I kept thinking of her, imagining everything Ren said happening to her and each time I did I would become angrier and angrier.
"God damn it Adrian bring it now" I faintly heard Xavier say as I continued my destruction but seconds later i felt something pressed into my hand and immediately I recognised a familiar scent on it.
I brought the shirt to my nose and took a huge whiff of lux’s scent, letting it overwhelm me and my wolf as I took back control. I calmed down and my eyes changed to the way they were.
I shook my head to clear it, clutching to Lily’s shirt. I stood up and looked at Ren "take it" I said showing her my wrist "Take as much as you need just help her"
She nodded and led me to a room where she drew some blood from me and then from the twins and Jacob. After that I walked to Lily’s room and closed the door behind me.
I lied on her bed and closed my eyes, her scent was everywhere and if made my wolf stop stirring. I felt something under her pillow and reached for it. When I saw what it was I felt a lump in my throat; it was the locket I gave her, she must have taken it off after the winter formal, after I hurt her.
I closed my eyes, remembering the feel of her lips on mine; how I was so happy when we kissed that I thought I might burst. I remembered every touch, every word she spoke, I remembered her laugh.
I took our picture from my pocket and put it right beside the locket. I looked at her, damn it she looked actually happy, and I ruined it like I always do
"I’m sorry" I whispered in the emptiness of the room, clutching the photo "i’m so fucking sorry"
Ethan’s P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of a knock on the door. I must have fallen asleep, it seemed Lily’s room was the only place I was able to sleep in. I opened the door and saw Miranda standing in front of me, looking as tired, her face grim. My heart fell
"No" I said taking a step back "No don’t tell me, she can’t be..."
