Marco’s POV
I know we're about to give her the antidote, but seeing Kas laying there really got to me. I can feel a lump in my throat as I listen for her heartbeat. I already know she doesn’t have one. I start giving her chest compressions. A million memories of her hit me all at once. I feel a bit emotional as I continue to try to revive her.
I watch as Beta Milo, Gamma Reggie, James, and Tyree lead the Alpha out of the room. As soon as we know they are in the hallway, Beta Lenora pushes me to the side, giving Delilah room. Delilah pulls out a small bottle full of pink shimmery liquid. She squeezes Kas’s cheeks a little, making her blue lips pucker, then carefully pours the liquid in her mouth.
“Go ahead, Marco,” she motions to me, “ continue with the compressions. It will help move the antidote through her body.”
I move back over and start CPR again. It feels like it’s taking forever.
“Vamonos, Kas. You don't get to go out like this. Not in this lifetime anyway. And definitely not on my fuckin’ watch,” I murmur before I lean over and give her another two breaths. I listen for breathing. Nothing. When is she supposed to wake up? How long is this supposed to take?
I keep going while Clash whines and paces in my head.
I lean over to give her more breaths when she suddenly sucks in a huge breath of air on her own. Thank the Goddess.
She sits up so fast she almost hits me in the forehead. Her skin starts glowing bright purple. I mean, I seen her glow before, but this is different. It’s like she’s a nuclear bomb about to go off. I look down and see my hands glowing too. I quickly sit back, leaning back against the wall to catch my breath. I let Beta Lenora and Delilah take over. I look at my hands, a comforting warmth fades with the purple aura.
“Kas! Kas! It's alright. We're here. You're going to be okay!” Beta Lenora soothes her.
Kas looks around trying to understand what's going on.

I don’t know, usually it means she’s happy or scared, but she don’t seem like she's either of those right now. I look down at her, but she’s wearing a poker face. Yeah. My chips are on mad.
