Silence.
It felt like a blanket. Suffocating me.
I couldn’t breath. I couldn’t think. Silence wrapped around me in a vise.
She was beautiful. She was perfect.
She had no pulse.
Her skin was too pale, her eyes closed her long lashes sweeping along her pale cheeks, she almost looked as if she was
sleeping. No heartbeat. Not a sound came from her tiny body.
Wails of anguish and grief filled the air ripping from my chest leaving me bleeding. Tears blinded me but it wasn’t long
before Lee was holding me his body shuddering around mine his own tears splashing onto my shoulders.
I clutched to my mate screaming my pain.
I didn’t want this. I didn’t want to bury another child. We had been so close. So close to being a family, but our chance
had been taken again.
A small prick in my left arm barely reached my thoughts before I felt myself slowly sliding into darkness. “Why did she
have to be taken away.” I rasped brokenly.
“I don’t know Angel.” My mate whispered before everything went dark my grief following me into my slumber.
I blinked slowly my body feeling weightless. Where was I?
I blinked pain chocking me as everything came back. I grabbed at my stomach and instantly felt empty. My baby.
I looked around the room and spotted Lee resting in a chair beside the bed.
As if realizing I was awake Lee jerked up his eyes wide. Once he settled on me his shoulders slumped A greit stricken look
touched his face. Without saying anything he moved onto the bed and wrapped his arms tight around me.
“It’s going to be okay.‘ He whispered rocking us slightly
I nodded my head not knowing if it was for my sake or his.
I didn’t understand Why me? Why my baby?
I felt so sad and angry that I just wanted to scream till I could scream no longer
“Where is she?” I asked looking around.
‘I–I don’t know. I think the doctor took her.” Lee mumbled.
Lyra P.O.V
I gazed at my self in the mirror and gave a rusty laugh.
For so long I had resented my brothers for their consent presence in my life. How they always hovered around me and
seemed to involved themselves in everything I did. How they acted as if I couldn’t breathe without their help.
Right now it looked like they were right. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think. I’d never been separated from them so long,
for a month I’ve been at the castle and there hasn’t been not even one phone call. It was unnatural for sets of siblings to
be separated for more then a day and now I knew why. It felt as if something was pulling at me tearing me in two.
But it was for the best right? We all needed to learn to survive without each other. Right?
A tear slipped from my eyes and i roughly wiped it away. I missed my brothers not matter how much the drove me crazy with their protectiveness. I needed them but did they need me? Had they realized with me gone how much they
were missing out on in life.
I had thought after the first day they would call at least to yell at me for leaving without saying goodbye but no it never
came.
I should be happy. For the first in forever I was by myself, being independent, making my own way. I was learning to control my powers and learning everything I needed to know when I became queen but I always imagined my brothers
would be there with me when I did it.
