Chapter 119
I look up to see him shouting orders, my vision darkening at the edges. Pack warriors surround us with worried yet stern expressions; worry for their Luna. I see Chris beside Gabriel, walking with us and looking down at me. The last time I saw him so scared was when he rushed into the room and saw Nina, his biological sister, murdered on the sitting room floor and my trembling form huddled in a corner.
In my peripheral vision, I notice ours and Chris’ pack warriors along with Ryan, Kaden and Rico bloodied and bruised with the aftermath of the war. They all run up with horrified expressions, immediately making way for Gabriel to rush to the waiting car with me. I let out a growl of pain, trying to even my breathing when Gabriel gets in, murmuring words of encouragement before screaming at Ryan to go. He sits me on his lap, lowering me slightly and holding onto my arm.
I can see him talking above me but what frightens me is the fact that I can't hear anymore. There is now a loud, constant buzz in my ears and the only sound I can hear is my heart thudding in a panicked state. I know he notices because his beautiful green eyes, that I have missed staring into, widen before he starts shouting to both Ryan and Chris in the front. He reaches to the side and wipes away the sweat off my forehead and neck with a towel.
He lips are still moving and I'm still screaming and crying in pain but I can't hear. Suddenly I gasp, I don't know how loud, and my back arches at what feels like my veins burning; as if there is lava flowing through them instead of blood. My body starts heating up to the point where I feel like a fire is lit inside me, my body is cooking itself on the inside.
And like a light bulb switches on, my hearing returns in the same way.
"Ask her what the fuck I should do that won't kill her!" Gabriel yells to Ryan who is talking to someone over the phone.
"Gabriel..." I whimper, sobbing in exhaustion and pain.
"I'm here, baby. I'm right here. Everything is going to be fine." He coos, however his gentle yet terrified tone contrasts to his frazzled state.
"A-Am I going t-to d-die?" I cry out, biting my lip so hard that the metallic, coppery taste of blood fills my mouth.
"No!" He growls ferociously, holding me to him tighter. "You will not leave me, ever! The Moon Goddess cannot take you away from me, no-one can."
I feel comforted and reassured from his words but the fear of this vampire bite killing me is still present. I really do feel like this is my end. Until Chris turns around with the phone, putting it on speaker. The familiar sound of Jezebel's voice filters through the speaker and I pray she has found a way to save me.
"You need to Kelvin her again, Gabriel." Chris states, looking at me with pained eyes.
"Kelvin over the vampire's bite. Your beast, Boris's bite, will overpower the venom in Amanda's blood and rid her body of it." Jezebel shouts into the phone, making me groan in pain at the loudness of her voice.
My temples throb viciously and my vision starts to blur, making me cry harder. I'm sweating profusely and feel like tearing my clothes off and jumping into a bath full of ice. Clutching my head in pain, I press my face into his shoulder just as a loud scream of agony escapes me. My body is trembling to the point where I bet it looks terrifyingly abnormal and my hair is matted to my forehead, slick with sweat.
"I don't know if this will save her but, we have to try." Jezebel's voice filters through the phone, sounding just as worried as everyone else right now.
"What the – is there nothing else that will absolutely save her?!" Gabriel roars, thoroughly pissed off.
"There isn't anything else! I have looked in every book and racked my mind for every possible solution. Other techniques will cause instant death for a human, I've seen it myself!"
"Jezebel –"
"She won't make it anyways if you don't try, Gabriel. We have this one way to save our Luna, just fucking do it!" Ryan sternly speaks from the front, yet everyone notices how his voice wavers in worry.
Gabriel looks down at me as I'm trying to rip my cardigan off me, growling in frustration. It makes me look up at him and whimper in sadness at his conflicted expression. I know he is afraid of my possible death, this is nothing either of us had imagined. I choke on a sob while raising my shaking hand to cup his cheek. He lets out a loud whine of sadness and fear, tears welling up in his eyes. I feel my own watering up again at the thought of me not making it. I have to be strong, for him.
I gasp out for Ryan to close the partition between us so that him and I can be alone. He complies and both Chris and Ryan look back at me sadly, also with tears in their eyes to which I smile at. I can't offer reassurance or hope at this stage because I don't know what will unfold in the next few moments. I whisper out an "I love you," to Chris, hearing him repeat my words with a shaky smile.
Once the partition is fully up, I grind my teeth together as another bout of pain flashes through me making my back arch and a tormenting scream tear through my lips. Sobbing hysterically, I let Gabriel peel my clothes off fully, uncaring of my nudity in front of him. It's disgusting how wet with sweat they are. I thank the heavens that the windows are tinted since everyone else is driving behind. Clutching onto his shirt, I pull him close and he rests his forehead against mine. Panting heavily, I know I need to give him that final push, regardless of whether it saves me or not.
"You...need to...bite...me." I grit out, my voice hoarse from screaming for so long.
"I know." His lips quiver and before I know it, we're both crying.
