Enemies Become Mates novel Chapter 31

She took something out from her pockets and held it above her head. It registered what it was and I tackled her to the floor. It was too late as a bright flash lit up the room blinding me. I felt her fist connect with my face and I still couldn't see anything. I grabbed her by the neck and then I felt a sharp pain on the side of my torso. I shook my head to clear my vision and when I did I looked down to see a knife stuck on the side of torso. I gritted my teeth and faced her. I put more force on her neck and she grabbed my wrist trying to get free.

"Who are you working for?" I seethed at her. Elliot was holding head in pain and he looked over towards us.

"As if I'll tell you." She gasped for air and I saw a white pill in her mouth. She closed her mouth shut and I tried to open her mouth up with my hand I did manage to. However it was late and she was foaming by the mouth. I clicked my tongue and got off of her and grabbed the knife in my hand. I pulled it out and I seethed in pain. A silver knife, this won't heal nicely at all.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this!" Elliot yelled and I saw his eye flicker brown to silver.

"Hey we're here!" My brothers ran in with Rose besides them. At least she's safe that's good to know. I laid down on the floor and pointed at Elliot.

"Calm him down, that flash bang disoriented him." I gestured toward him. Toby and Jay listened to me and went to Elliots aid.

I tried to focus on my wound and attempted to heal it but it was a failure. I was losing blood and the silver knife didn't help at all. I pressed my hand against the wound trying to slow down the bleeding.

"This mission was a failure by the way." I said before completely blacking out.

--Cassie's POV-

"Are you fucking insane? You could've died!" Toby scolded me as he shoved cereal in my mouth.

Nagging that's all I hear the moment I woke up from my injuries. Just plain nagging, can't an injure girl have some peace. I chewed on my cereal and waved Toby off and he just look like he got more mad.

"And I didn't. I'm fine, and I saved a life" I said but it was kind of unclear from the cereal in my mouth.

"Cassie at least put your life first before others!" He snapped. I was going to respond until a knock came from my door.

"Come in." I said. The door opened to reveal my grandma, she gave me a tight smile and I looked away.

"How are you doing?" She took a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Good but it still hurts though." I said.
