Tangled
Chapter 140
140 Ava: Lisa’s Gone
“Ava!”
Kellan’s familiar voice should bring hope, but all I feel is despair as I stare into the distance, wishing that vampire would reappear.
A thousand of them could come and it would be fine. As long as they bring Lisa back.
“Ava! Can you hear me?”
Kellan’s face swims in and out of focus, a hazy blur against the night sky. I squint, trying to bring him into clarity, but it ike trying to grasp smoke.
“They have Lisa,” I whisper, the words scraping my throat raw. “The vampire… He took her.”
Kellan’s eyes widen, a flicker of anguish passing over his features before he schools them into careful neutrality. But I can see the tension in his jaw, the rigidity of his shoulders. He’s barely holding it together.

remember him standing sentry outside her door, stoic and watchful.
He carries me away from the carnage, away from the bodies strewn across the grass like broken dolls. I want to protest, to demand he put me down, but my limbs feel weighted, my tongue thick and useless in my
mouth.
Behind us, I can hear Kellan pacing, his footsteps heavy and agitated against the ground. He’s growling, the sound low and menacing, interspersed with words I can’t quite make out. But one stands out, sharp and clear amid the jumbled mess of my thoughts.
Mate.
He keeps saying it, over and over, like a mantra. Like a

prayer.
I try to focus on him, to call out and ask what he means, but the world is tilting, spinning off its axis. Darkness creeps in at the edges of my vision, a black tide threatening to pull me under.
The last thing I see before unconsciousness claims me is Selene running in from the woodline, coming straight for me.
