When I opened my eyes the sun was shining through the windows. I was hot. I could feel sweat sticking to every inch of my body. I unwillingly screamed, it felt like every inch of my body was being licked by fire. Amy and Thomas both came rushing in my room.
I was still in pain and it seemed to be intensifying. Every joint and bone ached and it felt like someone had lit my skin on fire and was attempting to pull every bone out of socket. I was trying to keep from screaming but the screams still made their way out of my mouth. This pain didn't compare to any pain I've ever felt. Thomas and Amy exchange worried looks.
All of the sudden I heard banging. I didn't know where it was coming from and honestly didn't care. The pain took over my every sense.
——-Michael POV——-
Brie and Noel had walked off with Noel crying. I sat there thinking about how much I hated myself for letting her see me like that. Seeing her in pain even made my wolf whimper. He is very attached and protective of Noel, which is why Thomas's comments got to us so much. Why couldn't Noel be my mate? I felt drawn to her but my wolf didn't recognize her scent as our mate's. There also wasn't sparks when we touched. Thomas cleared his throat. Oh boy here we go again.
"Look Michael, I know that you've grown attached to Noel. She is a wonderful person. But you know how this is going to end and it isn't going to be pretty. She's going to get hurt." Thomas stated calmly, I went to speak but he continued talking before I could, "I'm worried about her removing the necklace because it is enchanted to protect her. We don't know by who or why but her last memory is of her parents telling her to never take it off."
Even though my heart was being pulled to Noel I ran the other way. I had to protect her and the rest of my pack. Our pack bravely fought and killed nearly 30 rogues. Having that many coordinated was unheard of and definitely didn't bode well for any of us. Someone powerful was pulling strings and had their eyes set on our pack for some reason. Brian and I were still out in the woods, Scouting to make sure we didn't miss any rogues. I heard the women and children starting to come out of the bunker so I ran towards it with Brian but I didn't see Noel. Brian found Brie and embraced her. I mind linked the Luna to ask where Noel was.
She was feeling ill dear. I don't know what she is but something is going on. She was burning up and kept passing out. The vampire and the girl with them carried her away.
I searched for them for hours. Following her scent. I was furious, how dare they take her! My wolf wanted blood. He was very protective over Noel, I was the level headed one, I would allow an explanation before I decided anything. Her scent abruptly ended in an empty field. The field was out of place. I felt like I had been here before. Suddenly pain started shooting through my heart. My wolf painfully spoke in my head. This pain was effecting him even more than me.
