Mine...she was mine.
| could feel my life leaving me, feel my end coming. The knife that was still wedged between my chest plate was
only centimetres away from my heart..a little higher and | would have bled out ages ago. My wolf, determined for
us to save our mate, kept pushing forward only for the silver chains to make him recede back.
But that wouldn't stop me, we kept trying, kept fighting against the chains until the darkness took over me.
| wasn't dead, | know that. | could smell something...something on fire.
I was in a black void, consciously aware but not, like sleeping, but also not sleeping.
I knew | wasn't dead, but | knew my mind and body had lost connection.
That's when | felt it, a surge of energy enter me...like a lightning bolt hitting at my chest. Without a second
thought | held on to that energy, | knew it would givethe strength | needed to get to Kaia. What | wasn't
expecting was for her eyes to be directly in front of mine as | opened mine.

My eyes dart around the room beneathas | realise | am no longer in a chair but sprawled out half way 'up the
steps. She had brokenfree of the chains and pulledup this high but at a great cost to her. Her hands
were dripping with blood and her head collapsed within my hold as | tried to wake her.
"Kaia?" My urge to wake her makessit up, | could hear her heart beat but only just.
She had something black under her nose and it is only when | wipe it away the black smoke stain that |
understand the smell in my unconscious was from the flames burning above.
| move, not wasting a second.
| pick her up, cradling her close to my chest as | move up the dungeon steps. The flames had taken over the
hallway, the exit now impassable. The stairs leading to the floors above were now our only way out. Holding my
breath | push through the flames, hugging her body tightly in my arms. What the hell had happened... If she had
broken free why the fuck did she cback for me.
Anger washes overthat she would risk her life to cback for me.

Chapter 0207
A darkness takes over me, such blinding anger at how she has been treated by her own beta, the person that
was meant to protect her.
I'll fucking kill him.
"Forgivemy love." | wince as | wrap the rope covered in wolfsbane back around her body, the poison burning
at my own hands.
Her body was out cold, | knew she wasn't dead as | could still feel the buzzing of the mate bond between us, feel
the undeniable ache to protect her, to love her to keep her mine.
| start lowering her lifeless body out of the window, | swallow the pain my mouth wants to growl out from the
wolsbane as | slowly ease the rope between my grip.
| won't give in to the pain, not until she is safely on the ground below.

The flames start to lick their menancing heated kisses on my back from the top of the stairs. We were out
of time.
An explosion on the stairs threatens to makesurge forward, no, not until she is on the ground.
Her body lays motionless on the grass below, her body burning from the wolfsbane, | had to get to her, | had to
remove the ropes.
Her healing abilities wouldn't return to her, not with the wolfsbane seeping into her pores.
I'll have to jump, the stairs are also impassable now.
I leap out of the window, being careful to make sure | don't lar
aia. It is only one level but if | land
awkwardly it has the potential to break my legs. And | need those get us away from here.
| don't let my mind think about it, | am out of time, Kaia is running out of time.
Once safely on the ground | move to Kaia, tearing the ropes away from her and picking her now cold body up in
my arms.
"Stay withKaia." I shout out to her, my nose touching my mark on her neck.
