Chapter 169

Kennedy

When I wake up, my head is throbbing. I’m uncomfortable and when I try to open my eyes, blood drips into them. People are yelling around me and it’s making my head hurt even worse..

‘Echo‘

I’m here. I’m weak, but I’m here.

‘Do you know where we are?‘

By the smell of the two arguing over us, they’re Alphas, no one we know. I’m guessing this is one of their packs. One is Alpha Jasper, the Alpha who took us.”

“Tell me that Quirin is dead. Tell me that you didn’t take his Luna and leave him alive,” one of the Alphas snarls.

ECHO! Echo, we have to get out of here! We have to warn Quirin!‘ A ball of fear knots in my gut. No matter how upset or angry I am at Quirin, I still love him. I won’t let anyone kill him.

‘Echo, can you shift?‘ I ask her.

‘If it means saving our mate, I will.‘ I know what she’s saying. She’s saying that she would exhaust herself, force herself into exhausted silence to save our mate.

‘I have no intention of losing you either, Echo,‘ I say fiercely.

“Then let’s try to get to Quirin quickly. If I go silent, just know that I’ll do everything in my power to get back to you!

‘I love you, Echo, and so do Quirin and Raif. They won’t let you go either,’ I say, just as my arm is yanked by one of the Alphas. It hurts and I realize that I’m injured in more places than just my head. Echo is taking a huge risk by shifting, but we have to get out of here and I’m not fast enough on two feet.

‘Don’t heal me. If we get to Quirin, Mom will take care of me. Save your strength to run,‘ I say, just as my other arm is yanked but the second Alpha.

‘Are you ready, Echo?‘ I say, knowing I’m going to have to push my strength into her to help her get out of here with the injuries we have.

‘Yes. Ready?…. NOW!‘ she yells in my head.

I yank my arms out of the Alphas‘ grasps and leap, trusting my wolf to pull the shift. It’s painful, but she lands on her paws and takes off, running hard and fast.
