••• Kyson’s POV •••
I waited for the pain of being slashed or bitten by our mates, but it never came. Instead, I heard a shout from them through our mindlink, “Kyson! Noooo!”
My eyes flew open, yet I didn't see Aleena. The next second I heard a whimper coming from behind me, and I whirled around only to see her drop to the ground and shift back to her human form. I gasped as I saw five gaping holes in different parts of her body.
Never had I felt such bone-deep terror in my life. How.. Why.. I dropped to my knees and reached out my hands to touch her, but I was afraid it’d make the wounds worse. I could only call their names softly, “Aleena.. Celia..” My body was trembling, looking at her with that many wounds; even my voice was shaking too.
“Kyson.. Night.. I’m sorry..” she said in a soft and broken voice and coughed out blood the next second.
