1. Pushing On

KIAN

My entire body was wracked with pain, my eyes snapped to Morgana. She was hurt!

‘Mate!’ Thanatos groaned, his panic and worry bleeding into mine.

“Morgana!” I shouted, rushing to her side as fast as I could as she fell face forward to the ground. “Fuck no!”

I wouldn’t let this pain get the better of me, I needed to help her. The Fae around us were dead, yet I knew more could come at any moment. They had already infiltrated our kingdom.

I ripped Morgana’s top from her waist. Fuck, how did they figure out her weak spot so fucking quickly? It wasn’t even big, but it was clear these men knew what they were doing. Skilled and powerful.

‘Fae are fast and some even have the ability to see the near future, hence giving them the upper hand in battles.’ Thanatos said, worry clear in his voice.

‘Yeah.’I looked into her eyes.

I pulled the dagger out; nightshade… wolfsbane and silver… Something that could hurt us both … There was something else too but I couldn’t make it out. I placed it down, seeing her skin take on a blue-grey colour around the injury. Fuck this was not good. Bending down, I begant o suck the wound, spitting out each mouthful of blood and poison. I was trying to remove what poison I could but it was not fucking enough.

‘It’s too strong, Kian… That won’t work. It was on the blade alone, which means it was strong.’

Thanatos grunted.

My heart was racing, panic and fear consuming me. I looked down at my beautiful rose. Her chest was heaving, her face scrunched in pain, and her heart was beating dangerously fast. I sucked another mouthful out desperately, but to no avail.

I jumped back and rushed to the nearest Fae, searching or hoping for something that may help. There was nothing but more poisons. I tossed them to the ground, the anger seeping through me getting stronger with each passing moment. Each body held nothing of importance, nor anything that looked like an antidote.

Fuck!

Wait! The antidotes we brought with us! My heart was thumping as I rushed to our bags, my hands fucking shaking as I rummaged around until I found the vials.
