We circled each other, trying to get an advantage. Glancing around, I noticed he wasn’t the only one that had partly shifted into a wolf. The man Wendy was fighting was the same. The building caught alight. I could hear what sounded like chemicals or gases blowing up bursting and sending sparks everywhere, catching whatever it touches alight.
My attention being diverted, when I see David run from the room, heading towards the new door that had been blown out on the side of the building, he had Lily in arms. I noticed Amber’s limp body over his shoulder. I wondered how he found Amber as she wasn’t in the same room with us. That distraction cost me, as Kade saw it as an opportunity to get the advantage as he plunged the needle into my arm.
I felt the poison enter my bloodstream and an agonised howl ripping through the room, I looked at the needle, then at Kade who had a triumphant grin, which was soon destroyed as I see Ryder launch himself from the floor above us biting down on Kade’s face.
I felt the room shake but not from an explosion but from whatever it was that I was poisoned with. I wobbled on my feet as extreme vertigo washed over me. I felt drunk and stumbled around deliriously, grabbing anything I could to remain upright. Then I saw my father’s face next to mine.
Where did he come from?
I drunkenly thought he caught me as I fell to the ground, my eyes looking up at the ceiling. My entire body going numb, as I am paralysed. I hear people talking before I hear my father scream at Ryder.
“Leave him, take my daughter, that bastard is mine.” I heard a savage growl, my father’s shirt ripping from his body like he was on steroids. His eyes blazing almost red before he left my line of vision, my head rolling to the side. My eyes searching for anything in the smoke and chaos. I could smell the lingering smell of burning plastic and feel the heat of the flames as they got nearer.
The entire building was on fire, and I couldn’t move just watch as the flames got closer. “Reid,” I coughed out as I started choking on the smoke that was filling the air. What had he given me, it didn’t seem to do anything but paralyse me and make me feel sick?
Then I see Reid’s face hovering above mine, I could tell he was naked by his bare chest.
“Let’s get you out of here,” he said, scooping me up, my head falling backwards before he adjusted me, so it was resting on his shoulder heavily. He turned around, looking back at my father, who was still fighting Kade. Flames were everywhere destroying the entire building; parts of the roof were falling, and Reid sang out to all the wolves and humans present.
“Humans?” I mumbled my tongue, starting to go numb.
“I will explain everything later.”
“Everyone get out, the building is going to collapse.” His Alpha voice rolling over me, I could feel the power behind his words as everyone ran from the building. Reid carried me outside, leaving me on the grass before running back into the burning building. All I could see was the sky, which was black with smoke, it was night-time. I couldn’t move, I just lay there. I felt a hand brush my hair from my face, my eyes looking up to see David sitting next to my head, it was his hand I felt.
“Where did Reid go?”
“To help your father and Zane, they are still inside.” I felt my heart rate increase, fear taking over. They were in there while I lay paralysed, not able to help. “What about Lily?”
“I’m here,,” she said, grabbing my hand and leaning over the top of me.
“Amber too, she is awake as well,” I listened carefully and could hear her sobbing somewhere off to my side.
I don’t know how long passed but Reid and my father finally came out with Zane. I heard Amber start screaming hysterically, wailing. I heard Zane pick her up and whisper soothingly to her.
“I know baby girl, I know.” Hearing them made tears fall from my eyes. I killed her, I killed my friend, killed their loved one. The guilt was eating at me, I hope they will forgive me.
“Reid?” I called out, my voice breaking. He came into my line of vision and knelt beside me, pulling me up, so I was leaning on him.
“Why can’t I move?”
“It’s the drug, I think your body is rejecting it.”
“What was it?”
