Chapter 30: You Let Her Die!

Maeve

“Get away from me!”

I was running, frantic, tripping and stumbling through the dense greenbelt that lay between the castle ground and the village below. There was noise all around me; screaming, shouting, the eerie high-pitched howl of wolves.

I could hear him behind me, his breath catching in his throat as he cursed aloud, begging me to stop.

“You’re running right into it, Maeve. You need to stop for a minute. We need to come up with a plan to get to the port-”

“I’m not going anywhere with you!” My face was tight from my dried tears as I spoke.

“Look around!” he bellowed as he clutched me by the shoulder, pulling me to a stop. I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was in incredible pain. One arm was dangling at his side, bent and bleeding profusely from a terrible, protruding fracture in his forearm. I should help him, heal him.

No. I wouldn’t. He was as good as dead to me.

But he was right; fire was blazing in the village. We could see the amber light through the trees and the smoke beginning to drift into the canopy of leaves over our heads.

I turned to him as his hand left my shoulder. He cradled his arm again, his chest heaving with effort.

“Who the f*ck are you?” I said, unable to hide the heartbreak in my voice.

He shook his head, sweat dripping off his jaw as he bent forward, leaning into a tree for support. “I’m really hurt, Maeve. I can’t shift like this. I thought we had more time.”

“More time for what, Troy? If that’s even your real name-”

“It is.”

“What is happening right now? What happened to Gemma?” My voice cracked as I said her name. I hadn’t processed it yet. Everything that had happened within the last half hour was a total blur, only little fragments of memory floating around in my mind. But Gemma’s screams were clear. They were still ringing in my ears.

* Alpha Damian of Poldesse is invading. He’s taking over Drogomor.”

“Why? Is that why you’re here?”

“No. At least, I didn’t know this was his plan. I thought,” he swayed, pitching forward. I felt my body moving to help him without my permission, but I righted myself, my fingers curling into fists. “Romero he-Damian used me. I was a decoy to keep you and Ernest distracted while he made his move.”

“What does this have to do with me? I’m not the Luna yet-”

He looked up at me, his eyes shining with unimaginable pain, “Damian wants you for something I don’t understand. Romero was in on it, he tried to explain it to me but I thought he was just a mad old fool, I-”

A scream ripped through the air around us and I jumped, startled.
