Why was he in pain? Who had hurt him?
“I killed your sister.”
What was happening? Why wasn’t anything making any sense to me?
“Thane don’t.”
Thane … Yes I knew that name. My brother.
What were they telling him not to do?
I heard shouting next and it sounded like a war was happening right next to me.
Why couldn’t I open my eyes? Why wasn’t I able to say something?
Someone I loved was in danger. I could feel it deep in my bones. He was dying and he needed my help. But who was it?
Why did it feel like he was the most important person in this world to me?
WHO WAS IT? I searched my brain like crazy as I raced to find out the man that meant the world to me.
I should remember. Why could I not remember him? I kept getting little images but nothing was enough.
Why was it taking me this long?
Then I saw a flash of a face, a handsome face that was slipping away from me.
no!
I clung to the memory of him as much as I could.
My breath went.
And then it all came rushing back to me. I saw those beautiful grey eyes first; eyes that always trapped me in its intensity. Then I saw … no I felt … I felt his soft black hair. And lips … I felt the k**s on my neck, the marking, the claiming.
My eyes snapped open as all of the horrifying events crashed into my brain one after the next.
Hunter. Oh God Hunter.
I winced at the bright sunlight and forced my body to move despite the drowsiness that still tried to hold me down.
I rose up in time to see Thane slam Hunter into the house. They both went straight through the wall and my heart dropped from my chest. Hunter was not fighting back. He wanted my brother to kill him.
no! no! no!
My eyes scanned around me desperately for help.
Why was no one trying to stop him?
This was what Maggie had wanted all along. I had to stop this before it was too late.
“Isabella?” Eden asked in shock as she saw me stand up from the ground.
I didn’t have time to pay attention to my sister. I needed to stop Thane before he did something that I could never forgive him for.
I bolted straight into the house ignoring all of the shouts of the rest of my brothers. I followed the sound of Esma’s screams and it was then that I saw Thane slam a vase against my mate’s head.
I couldn’t move from the shock of everything happening in front of me. All of the air was knocked straight out of my body and I staggered forward.
“THAnE STOPPPPP!” I screamed.
Esma looked at me with wide eyes, almost as though she didn’t believe that I was standing in front of them.
Thane didn’t move however and it made me wonder if he couldn’t hear me.
Why wasn’t he stopping?
“STOP PLEASE STOP.” I cried as I dropped to the ground next to Hunter. I covered his body with my own and buried my face against his bleeding chest.
I waited for Thane’s punch to hit me but nothing came down on my body.
I looked up to see that his fist had stopped midway and he was staring at me like I was a ghost.
“I-Isabella?” He stuttered. His mouth was parted and he was shaking just like I was.
“Please stop it.” I cried. “Don’t hurt him anymore. Don’t hurt him.” I begged.
