Her entire body was shaking yet she didn’t even flinch as I pulled the first three pieces of glass from her face when she started shaking her head and pushing my hands away instead of letting me pull the rest out.
“Lucy stop, let them” Reika says, gripping her face in her hands.
“What’s wrong, what happened baby” Reika says, tears falling down her cheeks at seeing her daughter so frantic. Lucy tries to talk yet can’t seem to catch her breath as she starts to hyperventilate gasping for breath. Tears continue to pour from her eyes when she suddenly starts flailing, ripping handfuls of her hair out and clawing at her face. I watch as Reika frantically tries to catch her hands from ripping herself apart while Lucy starts screaming.
My stomach twists at the sight of her. Ace shifts back trying to grip her hands and hold her still while Reika tries to soothe her but she is way past soothing. She was turning manic, this is what broke looks like. When someone is pushed to close the edge leaving them sitting dangerously on the brink of insanity, she was losing it and nothing we did was calming her as she tore at her face, her scalp bleeding as she tore her hair from her head. You can only push someone so far before it becomes too much and Lucy had hit breaking point and break she did.
“Do it” Reika says, her eyes going to Ace and I. Ace falls back shaking his head.
“I can’t, I can’t do that to her, not again” He says shaking his head and Reika’s eyes dart to me and so does Ace’s.
“Remark her” He chokes out looking at me, but I hesitate knowing if I remark her, not only will I knock her out but it would reinforce the bond. I know from Lana that being marked repeatedly over the years both her mates had to rebite her as the bond became strengthened more one way.
Ace hadn’t marked her yet, me marking her before both us have mated her could remove her bond to Ace completely.
“Ace?” I look at him, panicked.
“It's ok brother, I won’t mark her again without permission” He says.
“Ace?” I look at him while Reika was still trying to restrain her.
“One of you needs to do it and fast,” Reika snapped at us while Lucy screamed and flailed.
“It's fine, just do it Tyson” Ace says moving her hair off her neck, I hesitate when Tyrant forces control, sinking our teeth into her neck. She screams and I choke on her emotions as they slam into me full force like they were mine and not hers. My teeth hitting bone and her movements slow and become weaker.
“It's ok baby, mumma’s got you” Reika whispers to her before she goes still. I pull my teeth from her neck as she slumps forward onto Reika. I quickly pull the glass from her wounds and she starts healing when Ace suddenly stands making me look up at him and my stomach drops at the dark expression on his face yet he says nothing and bends down taking her from Reika, hugging her close to his chest.
“I fixed her room up the other day, we can put her in there” Reika says, standing up. Her chest and neck are covered in blood but her cuts had already healed. Ace nods to her before walking toward the packhouse silently, yet his aura was potent as it rushed out of him and I wasn’t sure if he was mad at me or himself.
“It will be okay Ace, she won’t reject you when it comes time to mark her” I tell him through the mindlink as we walked toward the house.
“I can’t feel them, Tyson,” He says.
“Pardon?” I ask.
“The tingles, I can’t feel them”

Great story, but from chapter 63 onwards the formatting is off so it becomes illegible. Who do we contact to get the formatting corrected?...
