'Ultimately, I couldn't protect anything. Everyone would die because of the decisions I made,'
It was really hard to register anything going on around her when she was almost passed out. She knew in a second, she would be pounced on and that would be the end of it.
That would be the end of everyone she tried to protect. And she hated how she couldn't protect anything.
She wailed in the back of her mind, a tear slipping out.
Sylas's face flashed in her head, and Zeke followed almost immediately. She reached out to feel the bracelet, and only when she caressed empty skin did she remember it was no longer there.
The wolves lunged.
Theo didn't see them clearly anymore, but as shadows tearing through the haze of pain and blood. She couldn't lift a limb anymore, couldn't make a sound. Just lay there, waiting for the pain and darkness that would come next.
She braced for teeth for claws.
For the end.
