Chapter 169

CAMILLA’S PO.V

I was standing in a completely dark room and I came to the conclusion that I hated it. I was standing in front of a mirror and when I looked up to it, I saw myself but with a gaping wound in my chest. Out of instinct, I reached up to touch my chest but there was nothing there. My brows scrunched as I took in the mirror, the image wasn’t moving, the mirror was solid, so why was there a hole in my chest when I couldn’t see one? I had spent what felt like forever trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

When I started bleeding from my nose in the room, I had tried to call out for Ryker down the bond but for the first time in a long time- I couldn’t. It was like something was blocking me from my wolf. I tried to get to the door hoping I could find a guard to call for him but I passed out before I made it two steps. At first I was worried but I knew that Ryker would find me sooner or later, it just might take a while because he was with Riley.

I watched with equal parts horror and fascination until it became as small as a penny but it didn’t close completely. It remained open just a little and it stopped. I didn’t know how, but I knew that hole would never close no matter what I did.

“She should be awake soon,” I heard that same voice from earlier. “I can tell she is trying to wake.”
