Chapter Seven

Christian

She was going to be the death of me. I had waited so long for her to walk into my life, I’d be damned if I lose her so soon for draining herself. But that was the thing that drove her, her need to protect everyone she loved. But I needed to protect her, and waiting for her to wake up was hell. I could feel her, I knew she was okay. But until I saw those beautiful green eyes open, I would be freaking out.

Asher was driving me nuts with the pacing, the bond those two had was nothing I had ever seen before. He was just as worried as I was. He was also making the room into a sauna and I was worried she would overheat.

“When is she going to wake up?” Asher chewed on his nail, a habit I noticed his sister had too. “How long does it normally take for someone to recover from a draining?”

“Soon,” I tell him with a calmness I didn’t feel, but if Asher blew up… so would the house and everything in it. “I can feel her stirring. She’ll wake soon. Why don’t you go get something to eat and I’ll call you if she wakes?”

Asher watched his sister for a moment longer before walking over and kissing the top of her head. They didn’t know how lucky they were to have each other, to have a sibling to lean on, to grow up with. “Okay. Come get me if she wakes, I mean it. As soon as she wakes. I’ll be back soon.”

I gave him a nod and he left the room, closing the door softly. I got up and sat on the edge of the bed. She was still too pale for my liking. I gently brushed her hair back from her face, I needed her to be okay.

The first time I saw her I had a feeling she was mine, even without the marks I was drawn to her. She was so timid and shy, I wanted to protect her from the world. But she had a fire in her she didn’t even know she had yet. She was opening up, but it was a slow process. She wore her heart on her sleeve and she couldn’t hide anything.

“Come on Ella. It’s time to open those beautiful eyes sweetheart,” I whisper, I know she can hear me because I can feel her heartbeat pick up in speed. She knew my voice even if she wasn’t conscious, her soul knew mine. “I need to know that you’re okay, Love.”

Slowly, very slowly, her eyes started to flicker. Finally, after what seemed like hours, though was only minutes, her eyes locked on mine. “Christian? What happened?” Her voice was soft, confused.

“You drained yourself,” I tell her gently. I wanted to yell at her for being too reckless with her own life, but there was no way I could yell at this soft-heart girl, so I kept my voice calm.
