Chapter 143

Heartbeat

ROYCE.

We hear a thud and Leo turns sharply.

Something’s wrong.

A sudden wave of dread fills me, and I stride. towards the bathroom and Malevolent runs to the bathroom door, meowing.

Leo turns sharply as I push past him, splintering the door with a powerful bolt of lightning that sends splinters/everywhere.

Blood.

The powerful coppery smell of blood hits me and all I see is red, spread everywhere.

“KIARA!” Leo shouts, as I stare at the scene before me. 1

Blood covers the floor and walls, the shower is still running and there on the floor, curled up with her hands around her throat as her heartbeat fades away, is Skyla. 1

“Sky!” I shout. 1

I drop to my knees, placing my hand to her neck, before I look down. It’s not a stab… she

My stomach twists as I realise, she tried to rip her throat out. 1

There are bits hanging out and her fingers. are still wrapped around her veins.

The sheer weight of what she tried to do hits. me fucking hard, and I don’t even realise I’m shaking as I remove her fingers from her throat, trying not to pull on anything.

Why?

My own vision blurs as I manage to free her gaping throat from her grip and try to stem the bleeding as I watch the blood pour out mercilessly.

Power swirls around me as it glows purple, and the moment it touches Sky, I let out a breath I never knew I was holding.

She’s got to be ok!

The sobbing of the woman healing her echoes in the room. The sound of the shower water is thumping in my mind. Everything is heightened.

“We need to lock her up. For her own safety and keep her sedated. This can’t be happening!”

“She has got to be ok!”

I don’t know who is speaking as I hold onto

Skyla.

“Her heartbeat is fading!” Kiara screams.
