Chapter 74

Chapter 74.

Kex’s POV.

I fought the rogue king, sweat dripping into my eyes as I swung my sword. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Nelly running towards us, her eyes locked on the king.

I knew she was trying to help, but she was putting herself in danger. I gritted my teeth, and raised my sword and stabbed the Rouge King.

But then I heard a loud, guttural growl. I turned, and my heart stopped. Emily had. fired an arrow, and it was hurtling towards Nelly. Time seemed to slow down as I watched the arrow fly, and then Nelly fell on the floor, transforming to her human form.

I dropped my sword as I ran towards Nelly, my feet pounding against the ground, my heart beating in my chest. I reached her just as she crumpled to the ground, blood pouring from a wound in her side. I knelt beside her, my hands shaking as I cupped her face.

“Nelly, open your eyes,” I said, my voice breaking. She struggled to lift her eyelids, her gaze cloudy and unfocused.

“I… I’m sorry,” she whispered, and then her eyes closed.

“I’m not angry, Nelly. Just please, open your eyes,” I pleaded, my hands trembling.

Nelly gave me a faint smile, a single tear rolling down her cheek. Then she closed her eyes again, and I felt my heart sink. With a growl, I turned to see the rogue king escaping into the forest.

“Chase them!” I roared to my men, my voice filled with rage.

I scooped Nelly up in my arms and ran back to the palace, my feet pounding against the ground. I could hear the men behind me, their weapons drawn and ready for battle.

I raced down the stone stairs to the basement, I knocked at the door abruptly. Aisha opened the door, her eyes wide when she saw Nelly in my arms, her dress soaked in blood.

“What happened?” she asked, her voice filled with panic. But I had no time to answer.

“Find the pack doctor now!” I barked, and she ran off without another word.

I laid Nelly down on the bed, my hands shaking as I checked her pulse. Her breathing
