Chapter 14

People whispered above her. The sibilant sounds tracked from different locations. She couldn’t tell what they were saying, but there were others close. Everything was blurred and muted. The only thing real was a need she couldn’t define. She couldn’t lift her eyelids, and when she tried to move her extremities the heaviness and weight in her limbs prevented it. She tried to scan and was stopped by that oppressive muting and heaviness. Who was calling her? She’d been infinitely safe where she was.

“She’s coming to,” a feminine voice murmured.

The words were a jumble, but the tone and color of the sound in her mind was familiar.

“How do you know?” a deeper, sinfully dark voice asked.

That first voice triggered an instinctive recognition. The second voice pulled at her soul and demanded she acknowledge a need she couldn’t understand. She tried to reach out to the voice but encountered a pain so intense her mind withdrew to avoid the agony.

But her soul refused to let her pull away and drew her instead toward the voices. She gave a wordless gasp as her entire body bowed. Her muscles locked her body into a position that bent her backward.

“Piper.”

“I’m on it.”

“Sebastian, crawl up there with her, and do whatever you must to keep her tight against you. She’s going to break her back if this continues.”

Sebastian? Who was Sebastian? Was he the voice that brought her awake? Had he called her from her rest? And why had he done that? It’d been so damn safe where she’d sent herself.

“Kinsey, get ready. Sebastian? Hold her close man. Through her contact with you we’ll be able to draw on your energy too. Bleak? Morrissey? Let Kinsey tap into you. Kinz when you’re ready, I’m ready. Piper, shield us,” a soft voice ordered.

“Wouldn’t it be easier for us to put our hands directly on her?” a man asked.

“No!” Three female voices this time, all yelling.

“Geesh, okay, calm down,” the man shouted back.

Sebastian’s breath locked in his chest. He couldn’t focus on anything but the sight of Skylar’s body racked by tortuous muscle cramps. She was bent backward at such an angle he’d heard the popping and cracking of her spine. Her eyes were wide open, but her stare was vacant and black. There was no amber light to her orbs.

Her body trembled violently, and even with his strength he struggled to hold her close.

“Take from me, baby. Whatever you need, I’m here,” he whispered urgently against her ear.

He watched as her sisters and his men prepared to become conduits for the energy that she needed to heal. He in no way, shape or form understood any of it, but Raina had told Sebastian he was a prime source of energy, and that’s what Sky needed. If the other men touched her directly, they’d interrupt the flow of that energy. Sebastian had a bond with Skylar that Raina didn’t question, she sought only to utilize. After that it’d been semantics. Her pain was a living, breathing dragon inside of her, and he wanted only to slay it.
