Free Web NovelChapter 72: Chapter 72 There and Back
The Third Person’s POV
As Matthew and Jason try to get everything organized in the upper realm. Panic spread like wildfire after the knife sliced over Abby’s arm. Everyone moves in to catch her before she hits the ground, all in a mixture of disbelief and anger.
Jax, who is the closest, catches her in his arms, lifting her unconscious body, making sure to be careful of her mildly showing belly, and walking inside the throne room. He looks around like in a daze, before Willow’s piercing scream penetrates his stupor.
"Nooooo! ABBY! WAKE UP. WAKE UP." She has transformed into herself again, Jax notice.
He jolts slightly, still with Abby in his arms, and then the seriousness of the situation gets a hold on his heart. They need to get her to the infirmary ASAP.
Ellie grabs her frantic sister, holding her in her arms. Letting her kick and fight, holding her tight and letting her own tears of agony and despair loose down her cheeks. Everyone else is crying, some silently, some with force. But all for their leader. freewebnøvel.com
All the girls follow in the footsteps of Jax as he hurries out of the throne room. A voice stops him, and he turns angrily towards Selene.
"She needs a doctor." He hisses at the goddess, who only looks at Abby with concern and sadness.
"She needs her mate." She states silently, as she looks behind her towards her sisters. They both nod with their heads down, not able to look at the girl in Jax’s arms.
"What do you.. The blade? What was it cursed with?" Jasper has come to his brother’s side, looking Selene directly in the eyes with accusation written all over his face.
Selene shakes her head. She walks to her sisters, taking their hands. They glow in their different colors; silver, red and purple.
"As the power of the realms flow in our veins, we bestow upon this crowd the ability to travel between the two. As the bond between family is strong, the heart will always find its home. Sisters of soul, brothers of love. We give the gift of border hop."
Everyone in the throne room, the three siblings, Jax, Jasmine and Jasper, excluded, glow softly.
"Wow!" Isadora exclaims, while the others nodded.
Selene looks satisfied, but then her eyes fall on Abby’s still bleeding arm. She looks at Monica, who nods. The wicca goddess walks towards Jax, who growls slightly. Willow, who has been solely focused on her sister, smacks his head lightly.
"Sush! She will help, and we need this healed as much as possible, and you need to stop being a prat." She scolds her familiar and friend sternly. Jasper and Jasmine snickers behind him, but stop as Jax’s scowling face turns to them.
Monica takes Abby’s arm in between her hands. A soft golden glow emits from them, and Abby moans again. Her face is less tense, and then the goddess waves her hands over the wound. Bandages appear out of the air, wrapping around the arm.
Then Willow looks utterly confused when the words of the goddesses make sense in her head. She looks up at Selene with wide, fearful eyes.
"Great mother, does this mean I can return home?" She ask Selene in a small but hopeful voice. Selene shakes her head slightly.
"I’m afraid not, child. You belong here in more ways than one. I am sorry, but you will only be able to visit for a short period. You may travel one time back and forth each day. But only one." Ellie looks livid at this announcement and wanted to argue. But then Abby gives a slight moan of pain from Jax’s arms, and it immediately draws everyone back to the task at hand.
"Everyone gather around." Selene says with a sigh.
"We need to get her back to her mate and her pack before it’s too late."
The crowd gathers around the goddess, including Jasmine and Jasper. They are determined to help Abby, because she is Willow’s sister and Willow is their family. Family sticks together. What no one has noticed is the unwelcomed person, who has been lurking in the shadows of the throne room, and tack along on the teleportation out of the underworld.
As they land in the new pack house, everybody looks around in confusion. Where have they landed? Selene looks around the luxurious room. It’s a bedroom. She aimed for Alpha Matthew, so he must be here somewhere.
"Someone reach out to Alpha Matthew. We need him here. NOW!" She yells the last part. Abby has gone deadly pale, black veins creeping up the wounded arm from under the bandages. freewēbnoveℓ.com
The door to the room burst open. Matthew runs inside, and in a flash, he grabs Selene around her throat. A ferocious growl emits from him, and his eyes glow. Blade in on the surface and he is pissed. Selene doesn’t even try to stop him. She lets him lift her from the ground and waves her sisters down. They don’t need to agitate him even further.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Blade roars into Selenes’ face. She looks at him with sad eyes.
"I have done nothing." Selene starts, but she is interrupted.
"Clearly!" Blade huffs. He lets her go and walks through the crowd. Abby has been laid on the bed, and when he sees his mates state, a howl escapes him. He falls to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks, taking his mate’s hand in his own. She is cold to the touch, her pulse weak and her breath shallow.
"Abby." He breath. Then he closes his eyes. Before him, everything he needs to do is flashing. He leans forwards, not caring who is looking and when his head reaches her neck, he extends his fangs. Shouts from the crowd reach his ears, and he can feel the surrounding commotion. Something is happening, but the only thing in the world to him is her. His mate. His queen, his heart. Listening with half an ear, Matt sink his canines into her neck, more deeply than when he marked her. He bites down and holds his position until he feels her heart jump up in rhythm.
