Alpha Asher by Jane
Chapter 232
Chapter 232
We set Sean down in the grass off the side of the road. I stood over the body of my big brother, still not allowing myself to process what had happened. The gashes across his neck and chest were unimportant. His skin was almost translucent, blending in with the muted colors of the grass so well that it was both beautiful and haunting. The way the moonlight streamed down onto his body, turning him silver, was a sight I’d never forget.
“I’m so sorry about Sean, Lola. I’m so sorry.” Holly’s shaky whisper came from behind.
Her voice was swallowed by the night, stolen by the stillness that surrounded us. I sank to my knees at Sean’s side, trailing my eyes over his dark hair and long lashes.
“What are you planning to do?” Holly asked.
The clear note of hesitation in her voice prompted me to turn my head in her direction. I scowled, confused as to why she needed me to say it aloud. A chill skated down my spine, one I ignored as I looked down at Sean once more.
“I’m going to bring my brother back from the dead.” I couldn’t look away from him. :
Holly gasped audibly, circling Sean and I until she faced me. She lowered herself to the ground at his side. Her hands were trembling, and the whites of her eyes were visible, large, and bright despite the darkness.
“Lola, you-you can’t do that.”
My head snapped up without my say. Crimson tinted my vision, my fingers tingling from icy cold.
What exactly did she mean by that?
“Yes, I can. You read the book, you know what Conjuration is and what it’s capable of. I can do anything. You knew this was my plan, Holly. I’m not seeing what the sudden problem is.” I laughed at the absurdity, but there was no warmth, no humor in it.
“You read the book too, which means you saw the part where it talks about what you’re tapping into to do these things. Something like this, raising someone from the dead-you know that’s not the kind of power you want to tap into. It won’t let you go. Even now, it’s holding onto you.” Her eyes full of knowing, trailed down to my hands, to the dark veins that crawled up the tops of them.
My fingers twitched, joints aching and bones grinding against one another.
“You knew this was my plan, Holly.” I said carefully.
Holly shook her head, a small, panicked laugh sliding past her lips. “Lola, I thought your plan was to use my blood to find my mother by yourself. You wanted to keep your friends and family safe. That’s why you left them behind. Now, this-this I never saw coming.’
