Chapter 18 / -Selene- / My body trembled in fear . " Finn , please .... " My voice broke as I reached for him . " Don't do this , no , no , no . " 59 55 vouchers " What happened here ? " One of the soldiers asked as his eyes scanned the room and the countless bodies that lay lifeless on the ground . A rogue pointed me . " She killed them ! " " I was defending myself ! " I cried . " They were going to kill me if I didn't do anything . Him too , " I pointed at Finn's body . " He was trying to protect me , but they wanted him dead too . " The guard stepped forward towards me cautiously . " You , did you shift ? " " They all shifted ," I muttered . " No , " he shook his head . " Transfer him to another cell . It's dangerous here ." The other guard that walked in began dragging Finn away from the room . " Where are you taking him ? " I screamed . " Let him go , you damned being ! " He pushed me roughly and successfully dragged Finn away . I cried , screamed , and kicked , but they didn't turn to look at me even for a minute . Suddenly one of them rushed back and dragged me out . I didn't shout ; I willingly followed , knowing he would take me to Finn . " Take care of him before he dies , " one of them muttered and shut the door . They had kept us in a separate room now , I stared at Finn , his chest rose slowly and fell slowly too . He was deeply wounded ; even the blood had turned grey . 11:31 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 18 Tears spilt from my eyes and hit his face . " You shouldn't have protected me , " I cried . " I don't deserve this ; I don't deserve you ." " Selene " , I heard him mutter . 15 vouchers " Finn . Stay with me . " I widened my eyes in both horror and relief , but the bad part was that I didn't know what to do . " Here , " he pointed to his ribs gently . " Touch it , help me ." " But I can't ..... " Please , " he interrupted . " I'm dying . " I inhaled deeply and touched his ribs , and something strange started happening to me . My breathing grew erratic , and my hands began to vibrate . What's wrong with me ? I thought to myself . I tried to move my hand from Finn's ribs , but it felt like another power held my hand down . My hand remained glued to his ribs till I watched him heal . Completely ! My jaw dropped . How was I able to do this without a wolf ? " How did ... how ... wait , you knew I could do that ? " I said to Finn . He smiled . " My sister is just like you . I call her special ; I don't call her cursed . " " Where is she now ? " I asked . " She's missing . She's been missing for years ." " I'm sorry ," I muttered and took his hand in mine . " You will find her one day , I promise . " He nodded and sat up . 11:31 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 18 " You are bleeding . You used lots of energy ." I touched my nose ; true to his words , I was bleeding . 59 55 vouchers " I don't know who I am any more . One minute I don't have a wolf ; the next I do . It's just so complicated . " He exhaled sharply . " Well , I think I know you more than you know yourself , and I must say you are capable of what no one here in this pack is capable of . " He bowed his head . " If my sister were here , she ... " His voice broke . I leaned in . " Hey , it's fine ." He stared at me for some seconds and then nodded . " You remind me of her a lot . I cried with her every night that she begged the goddess to help her . But after the gods helped her and she became just as she wanted , she disappeared . But I find solace seeing someone like her . " " That explains why you fought for me over there ? " I muttered . He nodded . " I couldn't sit and let something happen to you . I felt it was like allowing her to slip through my fingers the second time . " " Come , " I muttered and opened my arms , engulfing him in my embrace . While in that position , my mind drifted to all that had happened in the past few hours . Thorne's bleeding eyes had stopped , my wound had healed , I had shifted , and I had healed an almost dead man , all in hours . Strange . When we finally broke free , Finn had this wide smile on his face . It was quite contagious because I smiled too . " What pack are you from ? " I whispered . He cleared his throat , then tried clearing it again and again , until I knew he needed water . I rushed to the door and began screaming . " Water , water ! " Of course no one would answer me , so I went back to him and started rubbing his chest . Chapter 18 " We need to get out of this place . " " When the time is ripe , " he answered . He had suddenly stopped coughing . It felt suspicious to me , but I didn't bother asking again . We spent the rest of the day talking about every random thing . We laughed so hard that for a second I forgot all my pain . When he asked me about Thorne and Kaelen , I ignored him . The next day went smoothly , and so did the day after it . E55 vouchers It was just both of us in another room ; to me , it was freedom from the harsh world I lived in in the royal house , and to him , it was freedom from the other rogue wolves . Hours turned into days and soon I and Finn had turned best friends . I had even forgotten about Kaelen , until one damned evening . The beta , the masked beta , came to the prison . Finn stood up . Suddenly , when the metal door opened , it was him . I didn't stand . I hated him so much to give him such reverence . " The Alpha demands your presence ," he muttered . I shook my head . Why had Thorne sent him instead ? He could have easily sent one of his men . Why the beta ? Was it that important ? I eyed him and walked past him , praying that he wouldn't spoil Finn's heart against me . At the prison entrance , the guards blocked me . " The Alpha asked for me , I am not escaping ," I explained . One of the guards rushed out and returned a few seconds later , saying the Alpha never demanded my presence . Furious , I turned to go back hoping to confront the beta but met him coming out . " What game are you playing now ? " I whispered . He smirked , shook his head and walked away . 11:31 Tue , Sep 16 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
