I crawled towards her, dragging my body all over the ground as I tried to reach her despite the pain from the stab wounds coupled with the pain in my head.
I stopped right above her and looked down at her beautiful face. Her eyes were closed and her skin looked extremely pale. There wasn’t any movement from her whatsoever and the panic inside of me started to spread.
My hand trembled as I hesitantly cupped her cheek with one hand.
“Isabella.” I heard myself whisper. There was no response and I still couldn’t pick up a heartbeat.
I lowered my head until my ear rested on her chest and I listened more closely this time.
“Come on.” I said. “Give me a heartbeat.”
I swallowed when none came and I lifted my head once more to stare at her face.
“Isabella!” I shouted more desperately this time. “Give me a heartbeat!”
There was no response once more and I fell forward with my head pressed up against her neck. I inhaled her scent to try and calm me down so that I could think properly but the scent of her b***d only triggered my frustration and panic even more.
How did this happen?
“Please wake up Isabella … Say something please.” I begged her unmoving body.
I was going insane, I was completely losing it and I needed her to say something to me before I went crazy and started killing from a side.
Who’d done this to her?
You did …
I paused and a sick feeling touched my tongue.
What was that voice? I didn’t hurt her … I would never harm the woman that I loved … never.
You’re the only one here … Her b***d is all over your body and the knife was in your hand.
I didn’t know where the voice was coming from but it did speak some truth. The knife was in my hands when I’d woken up and her b***d was in fact all over me and all over the knife as well.
I stared at the weapon a few feet away from me; I’d dropped in onto the ground unconsciously when trying to look for her. It laid there motionless as if to remind me of the horror I’d committed.
K-killed her? I’d done that?
no.
I couldn’t believe that. I would never believe that I would hurt her. I loved her too much to ever do something that insane.
But yet the evidence said something completely different. Isabella and I were the only ones here and I couldn’t pick up anyone else’s scent especially not when there was so much b***d around us.
I lifted my hands again and this time stared at them as though I didn’t believe that they belonged to me.
Hands that killed my mate could never be my own … never.
How could I?
She was everything to me. She was my reason to live. My reason to breathe and now she was no longer by my side.
And I was the reason for that?
I dragged myself over to her again and picked her up in my arms as I felt tear drops roll down my cheeks.
“ISABELLAAAA-,” I roared.
I dropped my head against her chest and held her close to me as I continued to cry over and over again.
My body was shaking as I continued to roar with agony at the loss of my mate. I stroked her hair and cried some more. “I’m so sorry … I’m so sorry Isabella.”
I lifted my head up to the sun and let out another cry that pierced through the sky so loudly that even birds started to fly from the trees around us.
“WHAT DID I DO?” I roared. “What did I do? What did I do?”
***ERMAnnO***
The search for my sister was not going well. We’d covered everywhere and still there was no sign of her.
“I still think Maggie has something to do with her disappearance.” Eden said as we barged into another abandoned home.
“If that is the case we have absolutely no idea where Maggie has been in those five years she went missing.” I said as I scanned the building. She couldn’t be in here, it was completely empty and there were no signs of anyone being here for years.
“You’re right.” Austin said. “If Maggie is behind this then we’re still at a loss. It still isn’t a lead for us because we have no idea where to find her.”
