CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Vareo

WE WERE THROWN into the main transport deck, and Luan’s screams filled my ears, chilling my blood. My eyes focused only on her, and her small frame went limp in my arms

Fuck.

Her gorgeous diamond wings were shredded, floating around us in shards mixed with a disturbing amount of blood streaming through the air like a morbid snow globe the ancient artifacts dealers tried to pawn off. The bright light around her faded, and what was left of her loh retracted into her back. As I held her to me, I couldn’t prevent us from drifting closer to the walls that circled us, but I’d make sure it was me that bounced around the walls this time.

My hands were sticky from her blood, and I could see her loh were cracked and broken along her back, some jewels completely missing, creating large craters of open flesh wounds. My whole body grew cold, and detached from itself like I had lost a very piece of my soul.

I swore into her silver hair, wet liquid dripped from my eyes, and I hadn’t known that was still possible. “You are not fucking dying on me.”

My shoulder hit the wall and I grunted, tucking her in my chest to make sure she didn’t get clipped again. She didn’t need to protect me, my body would be bruised, but I’d survive just fine. She’d pushed herself for too long making sure both of us didn’t suffer, waiting to come out of warp, and she didn’t need to. It wasn’t the first time Carmen held me in the transport deck for warp, they were well aware of how sturdy shols were.

But apparently Luan didn’t know that, and she was tougher than most necia warriors I’d seen. This wouldn't end her, I repeated that over again until I believed it.

An unusual feeling was building within me that I couldn't explain. Pressure grew within my chest the longer I held Luan in my arms, unable to do anything to help. I felt more helpless now than I did the day I realized I was nothing more than property.

She was mine, I growled, and I did nothing to protect her.

That was it, I realized as soon as I said it.

She was mine.

And I failed her.

The walls were getting close again, and I was prepared to take another blow before I felt the gravity field activate around us, and I landed crouched with Luan sagging against me.

I gently placed her against the wall, away from the door to the main ship. Brushing a stray hair away from her face I felt her breath against my fingers, still alive.

“This won’t take long,” I promised. When I took in the transport deck, my anger grew seeing her blood splattered across the surfaces, and her diamond loh shattered like glass. Was she still bleeding?

My fist smashed into the med kit hidden in the wall and I pulled out the clotting spray. She moaned as I moved her as gently as I could. I sprayed her whole back to seal it up until I could do a more thorough patch job.
