Chapter 19

My Voice

“I would think that you’d remember the sound of my voice by now.”

Declan’s heavy footfalls snapped a twig in half as he approached Gabriel’s slumped form. Gabriel’s shoulders were drawn together, his hands were drenched in Keith’s bright-red blood. Declan filled his lungs with air and raised a trembling hand at Keith’s still body, the top half of the massive wolf was spread out on Gabriel’s lap.

“How is he?”

Gabriel raised his eyes to Declan, his gaze revealed the fire that had been lit in his belly.

“He won’t turn back.”

Declan nodded and stepped around Gabriel, brushing past his beta. He kneeled in front of Keith and ran his fingers over the blood-stained fur on his neck.

Declan turned to Gabriel and asked, “Is he healing?”

Gabriel shook his head, “I thought that he was for a moment, but then he collapsed.” Gabriel narrowed his eyes, “Why isn’t he healing? Why isn’t anyone healing?”

“I don’t know. Do you have the arrow?”

“It’s still inside.”

Declan sighed and pressed his palm against Keith’s body until Keith’s body rolled off of Gabriel’s lap and onto the dirt beside him. Declan caught the glimmer of the arrowhead, the tip was lodged just underneath his rib cage. Gabriel stood by as Declan pressed his foot into Keith and stuck his hand inside of the cavity created by the arrow.

Specks of blood splattered on Declan’s cheek, and a couple of drops fell just below his right eye. He didn’t raise the back of his hand to wipe it off. Instead, he held the arrow tip to his narrowed eyes.

“Gabriel!”

“What?”

Declan held out both arrows to Gabriel and said, “Have you seen arrows like these before? Wasn’t your father a big game hunter before you turned?”

Gabriel nodded and held his hand over the arrows, “Can I?

A humorless chuckle fell out of Declan’s mouth and he said, “Feel free. I’m not in a hurry to hold onto a potential murder weapon.”

He knelt down and peered into Keith’s face, his eyes were sealed shut, as if he was still bracing himself from the impact.

Declan turned his head to one side and said, “I think that he’s still alive.”

Gabriel jerked his head up and away from the arrows that rested in his palms, “What?”

Declan reached around and rolled Keith’s neck the opposite way. He flicked his thumb against the damp surface of Keith’s snout.

“There’s a little bit of breath coming out of his nose. I think that his body is starting to heal him now I’ve removed the arrow.”

Gabriel set the arrows onto the ground beside him, “Should we carry him like this? We can get him back to the building, and we can see if he comes to.” He tilted his head down and took in the arrows beside him, “Are these arrows from a hunter?”

Declan shrugged, “Either from a hunter or a big game hunter. I don’t care about that right now.”

He bent his knees and scooped his muscular arms underneath Keith’s body. Declan groaned as he heaved Keith onto his right shoulder.
