Chapter Fourteen

By the time the flames died down and the water mages at the doorway lowered their barrier, the soul star stone resembled smoky quartz. Warmth and love radiated from its depths, making my heart ache.

This was the core of the man I loved, once again confined to a small object.

I stared down at the stone, my gaze following the hypnotic swirl of Valentine’s magic. Now that the part of him that had clung to me was gone, I felt like the healers had sliced through chunks of my heart with cheese wires, leaving it riddled with abnormally large holes.

Convincing Valentine in his current state wouldn’t be easy, but I had no choice but to put him back together.

Healer Hadriel strolled into the room, followed by Healer Altman, who wheeled in a mobile screen the size of two doors stuck side by side, each displaying my vital signs.

“Well done.” She clasped her hands together. “Your procedure was a success.”

And a disaster for the hospital. I glanced from the blackened wall to the screen and bit down on my lip. What would Valentine say when they sent him the bill for the damage I’d done to the room? “Did you extract it all?”

She closed her eyes and wrapped a hand around her crystal pendant, engulfing me in the scent of ozone I always associated with angels. This time, her magic soaked into my skin rather than sliced, so I didn’t even flinch.

“Every ounce of foreign magic is gone,” she said. “The procedure also repaired the damage to your root chakra that forced your body to crave thrall and rebalanced the kidney, lung, and liver meridians that generated your symptoms.”

“Thank you.” I placed a hand over my chest, exhaling my relief. “And what about the damage to my heart?”

“We repaired that when you came in with the chest wound.” Healer Atman’s thick brows furrowed, the expression pulling at the tight edges of his hairline. “Did you feel any pain during the procedure?”

I shook my head. “Nothing at all.”

“Good.” He stroked a hand down his beard braid. “We’ll move you downstairs to the shifter ward, where you can entertain as many feline visitors as you please.”

“Can’t I go home?” I asked.

“Mera.” Healer Hadriel’s features fell. She strode to my bedside, lowered herself into the seat, and took my hand in a warm yet supernaturally firm grip. “You suffered a brutal attack, and underwent major heart surgery as well as a soul excision procedure within less than twelve hours.”

“But I feel fine…” The words died in my throat. She was right. Just because the last few weeks of my life had been a helter-skelter of harrowing happenings, that didn’t mean I had to continue along those lines.

I forced a smile. “A day to convalesce would be great.”

The healers exchanged glances, but it was Healer Atman who spoke first. “We recommend a stay of forty-eight to seventy-two hours as your body acclimatizes to the changes.”
