It must be Reynold because Tina doesn't seem worried.
We are able to drive back some of the enemy, but the screams from the ballroom have Tina looking at me. "You stay with Adam!"
She rushes off to help the shifters in the ballroom, and as the fighting intensifies in the room, the bodies drop around me.
Then Norman darts toward me. I don't hesitate, ducking and kicking him in the knees. As he stumbles, Adam grabs him by the neck and slams him into the floor.
Instead of panicking, Norman just laughs. "Go ahead! Kill me! You'll find your precious daughter. My people have her. You should never have left her with such a poor excuse for a guard. My men swooped in the minute you left and––"
I sneer. "Riya isn't with your people. She's stashed somewhere very safe where even you wouldn't dream of looking. You think I would leave my daughter unprotected?"
"I have her––"
"You don't have her," I respond. "Only a nuclear explosion could open the safe room Adam stashed her in. I don't know who you think you have, but it's not our child."
Just then, one of the enemy rushes toward Adam, and his hold on Norman slips. Norman darts toward me, his hand lifted. Before he can pierce my chest with his claw, Adam is in the way. Norman's eyes widen in delight, and I hear the sound of flesh tearing. I don't think. I just act, shifting.
Using my full strength, I grab Norman's arm and tear it out from its socket. His glee morphs into shock, and then he lets out the most horrifying sound. I ignore him as he falls back. Shifting back into my human form, I crouch by Adam's side. Norman's hand is still in his chest, and he's breathing with great difficulty.
"Adam! Adam, it's going to be okay. I'm going to get help!"
Footsteps sound, and I look up, my heart pounding in sick fear only to see Robert rush in. The alpha is in quite a state, his clothes tattered. He tosses off his coat and throws it on me. "I've got healers on their way. We need one in here right now!"
He bellows the last part, and moments later, Lydia runs inside.
I can't speak.
The bond between Adam and me is turning incredibly fragile, and it's like the walls are closing in.
"S-Save him," I gasp out.
"Don't let go of his hand," Lydia orders. "Keep holding him. You're keeping him tethered here. Robert, when I say, remove the arm from his chest."
And so begins a healing session, the likes of which I've never seen before.
I feel faint at times because a lot of power and energy is being dragged out from the mating bond.
"Hold her," Lydia instructs, and it's Tina who holds me up. I don't even know when she arrived.
"Take it out!"
My own vision is blurring.
"Cynthia, hold yourself steady."
I feel weak. Something is being pushed out of me, some energy.
But the bond that had been fading is growing stronger, so I let it happen.
I can't let anything happen to Adam.
Adam has to live!
Tina is holding me up and whispering something to me as my wolf keeps pushing more and more energy into our mating bond. My head is drooping to the side, limp.
"She's barely holding on," I hear Tina say angrily to someone.
"She'll be fine."
