Chapter Twenty-One

Kayla screamed in pain, knowing exactly what was happening to her. The witches were trying to steal her strength and turn her back into the simpering weakling she once had been. The slicing pain of contractions gripped her entire body, and she arched her back as the pain tore her in two.

“You have to let me go, Quinn,” she pleaded. “I can’t give birth like this.”

“Finish it, Mackenzie,” he demanded.

Kayla groaned, and the sound was that of a crazed animal. She pulled at her wrists with every ounce of her strength, but then a contraction shot through her again, sapping her power and diverting her mind. “How could you do this to me, Quinn? Of all my mates, I always loved you the most.”

She could see the light of hope in his eyes. She would say anything to get him to let her go. The truth was she didn’t love any of them. She couldn’t care less about a single one. But they were useful. And at the moment, Quinn was causing a serious problem.

“I can’t, Kayla,” he said, a conflicted expression clear on his face.

“Let me go right now, or you will regret it.”

“I already do, Kayla. I don’t think I’ve ever regretted anything so much.”

“Let me go, and I’ll forgive you,” she barked.

“Finish it, Mackenzie!” he yelled.

“She’s almost done!” Willa screamed.

Kayla could feel the edges of her darkness wavering. “No. No, no, no. You will not take this from me. You will not take it away from me!” she screamed, groaning as another contraction sliced through her belly. She used the pain as an anchor, pulling against the ties at her wrists.

“Hurry, Mackenzie. She’s trying to get free.”

“Hold on,” Willa said.

Mackenzie’s voice rose strong and true over the sound of Kayla’s groaning.

“Almost done. Almost done,” Willa said as the words of the spell grew in intensity.

Suddenly, the door to the bedroom flung open, and Sid stood in the doorway. “What’s going on in here?” he barked.

Kayla used the distraction to finally get a hand free. Just as she felt the grip of her darkness losing its hold on her soul, she blasted Mackenzie, sending her flying across the room. The witch crashed against the wall then slid down, leaving a bloody trail behind her. She slumped on the floor. Willa ran to her girlfriend, screaming for help.

Kayla whimpered to Sid. He ran to her aid and untied her other hand. “What are you doing to her?” he demanded.

She raised her hands to attack Willa, but the pain of the next contraction was too deep. It overwhelmed her entire being. She would have to leave it for later. But she knew she really didn’t want to hurt Willa. That can’t be right. Of course I want to hurt her. What is happening?

“Help me, Quinn!” she screamed. He scrambled off the floor and went to her side. “What’s happening?”

“The baby’s coming,” he said in a low voice. “It will be here soon.”

“Why did you do this to me?” She could see the pain in his eyes.
