77. A Single Touch

AURELIA

"Let her be!" | shouted despite the commotion around me. "Leave her to me."

| recognized them as Raiden's men but how could | ever leave Jessica to them? "We've to take her so you can

focus on getting the boy to the healers. There's no hope for her but your son is still breathing and you need to

get treated-" One of Raiden's men voiced with a bit of frustration and concern.

"How many times do | have to tell you that | can fix her? | can fix all of these so just leave us alone." | barked

with tears streaming down my face and | held on to the hope that despite the tthat had passed, Inara and |

could find a way to make Jessica's heart start beating again.

Yes, there was a fucking hole in the middle of her head and blood was leaking out of her in a way that made my

heart constrict. Kyle was unconscious and my back still ached from where the arrows were of course still poking

out. No one would rip them out. "Alpha! Alpha!" | heard someone screaming from behindand that scream

remindedof Raiden and the fact that he took a bullet for me.

My mind raced back to him and I recalled sof the words he and Larisa exchanged before she disappeared

again. | didn't hear all of it as | tried very hard to block Larisa's bitching voice out so | could concentrate on

bringing Jessica back but | failed at both. I thought | could save Jessica first and then help Raiden before Larisa

could finishoff but as | turned my face towards the last place | saw Raiden, | found him in Andrew and Jake's

arms and he was just as limp as Kyle.

My heart thumped, "Is he dead?"

Inara was the only one who could answer my question and her voice spreading over my restless heart, "He will

die if we don't hurry. A touch from you will helpgain access to his body. We can still save him, Relia. | hate to

be the one saying this but we can't let him die." | sobbed, "But we can't save Jess? Why can't we save Jess?"

Raiden men stared at me, hoping that any moment from now, I'd accept the help.

While Inara answered defeatedly, "Jess died the second the bullet went through her head. We can't raise the

dead but we can at least try to save Raiden and Kyle-"

"She can't be dead, Ina. | can't let her die." | cried out loud, ignoring the eyes on me.

Inara mumbled, her sorrow colliding with mine, "She is gone, Relia. Jessica is gone. I'm sorry."

How do | move on from this traumatic reality? | thought to myself as my wolf's words resonated through my

head. It's no doubt that Jessica died because of me. She gave her life for me- no. she trustedto save her.

Larisa was right.

Jessica put her life on the line, trustingto knock the gun out of Larisa's hold but instead, | selfishly chose to

save my son alone.

"| killed her." | cried over Jessica's body.

Her face had started losing its color and | couldn't perceive life from her. Goddess, this hurt.

"I know you won't forgive yourself if Raiden who took a bullet in our place dies as well even though he kind of

deserves to die." Inara's words might seem harsh but the way she sounded when she uttered them,

communicated her true feelings. "I wonder if he would have put himself between you and the bullet if he

knew that you are immune to silver."

My wolf's last statement hadfreezing yet | stuttered, "I'm immune to silver?" Inara hummed in response and

that madeask, "Since when?"

"Since | beca part of you, Relia. I'm a white wolf remember?" Inara etched, subtly urgingto just touch

Raiden.

There's so much | don't know about myself and It was obvious that if | didn't start learning, people around me

would get hurt. Now it was Jessica. Soon, it might be my kids or other people that loved me.

"Please handle her body with care. She is going back hwith me." | finally accepted the men's offer to help

| finally let go despite the tight clench in my heart and the huge bile in my throat. They didn't hesitate to lift

Jessica off the forest floor and | watched them take her away before moving to Raiden.

I didn't know how to feel about his

decision to savebut | knew | was

grateful so followed Inara's

instructions, touched Raiden while

Andrew asked Jake to put him,

non

his baek so he could get him to the hospital and | kept my hand on him Until | heard him cough, blood staining

Andrew's shirt.

"Thank goddess." Andrew breathed in relief.

Neither he nor Jake realized that | had just saved Raiden with the help of my wolf. With a single touch.

I tried to run after the men who took

Jessica because | felt the need to be by her side but Jake stopped me. His eyes burned into mine as he said,

"Leave the dead to them. You and Kyle have to go to the hospital with Alpha Raiden."

"I'm fine-" | started arguing.

"But Kyle isn't and Raiden askedto save you so please don't makedrag you three to the hospital."

Andrew countered, leaving no room for argument.

And just like that, I lost a good friend to the demon my destined mate groomed unknowingly and | spent the next

two days in the hospital in between Kyle and Raiden's bed, taking care of them and mourning Jessica. But that

wasn't enough to erase Larisa's ugly prints in my life. Yes, we've all been scarred and it was left toto heal us

all.

Hopefully, | won't fail this talthough my tin Dark Moon Pack should be ending soon.
