Mated To The Lycan King

Chapter 107

Avalynn POV

It has been three excruciatingly long months since the siblings tried to take over and failed. I closed my eyes and thought back about the battle. As I tore through the last of their minions, a bigger explosion happened. When I looked back, it was like a human nuclear bomb went off. I watched as buildings crumbled and burned all around. "Miranda..." I could hear myself speak but my voice cracked. She was over there. What happened? Was it the siblings' power? I can feel the fear now like I did then.

I remember rushing over and not being able to get through because of all the fire. Fear creeping up and creating knots, making it hard to breathe, or was that the smoke? We had to put the fire out around her before we could even get to her. Twenty-seven minutes later, we, Everest and myself, were by her side. She was badly burned, but how? I was so confused as to how her magic was used against her. I felt tears sting my eyes and threaten to spill over. I looked up at Everest and he shook his head.

"She is not dead." I told him.

"I can't hear her heartbeat though," his voice sounded sad. I wouldn't accept it though and knew she must be alive.

I remember ordering everyone for complete silence as I leaned closer, unable to accept that she was in fact dead.

Even the cackling sounds of the fire didn't dare disobey my order and for a moment, the world was silent. I listened closely as I heard Everest hold his breath. Her heartbeat was faint and I glanced up at my mate, I knew he could hear it too. "I can hear it, it's faint but it's there. We need to get her to the hospital now!"

Everest didn't waste any time as he lifted her. "Oh! Her skin is roasting still." He winced.

I raised my brow and placed a hand on hers and it was still hot to the touch. Not burning to the touch, but it would have been when she released the fire. Now it was just an unwelcome feeling, but Everest pushed through it as he ran. We rushed her to the hospital and made our way inside. It was chaos, so many injured people all around us. Our people, their people scattered around. But when we walked through those double doors of the hospital carrying the Queen of the Southern Territories, everything went silent. Everyone dropped down, from standing to kneeling, if able to do so. If not, they just bow their heads out of respect. People parted for us to come through.

Doctors and nurses rushed to us with a gurny and got ready to work on her. We stood and watched as they hurried her back. When we turned around together to walk back out, another doctor came to greet us.

"Hello your majesties." He bowed his head to us.

"Hello, Dr. Collins," Everest said.

"Hello." I greeted him as well.

"I would like to give you both an update on King Brent's status." Dr. Collins said to us.

"Is he going to make it?" I asked him.

His face contorted for just a moment before he spoke, "He is stable but critical. It seems his Lycan attempted to shield him from most of the damage but it is unsure how much. His Lycan side is severely injured and his healing process is slow. Almost comparable to that of a human. He hit his head pretty badly and had a brain bleed. We will know more about his condition once he wakes up. Until then, it is up to fate."

"It is that bad?" Everest asked him.
