Chapter 357

Laila’s POV

I reached forward, catching Delta as she fell. I was too weak to hold myself up, let alone both of us, a down into the grass. Despite my best efforts to hold Delta against me, she rolled over, spilling onto th crawled over her, reaching for her wounds.

The blood spots had blossomed bleeding from her torso. I covered one of each with my hands, trying to pressure. But from how profusely she was bleeding, I knew those had to be silver bullets.

Delta coughed a blood dripped from her lips. Her eyes were unfocused, even as she lifted a shaking hand

“My… daughter…”

I took her hand at once, abandoning the pressure, knowing it was fruitless. My heart ached, but still I held hand with both of mine, holding to offer her what comfort I could here at the end.

my wolf was too weak to shift. But my rage curled my fingers, ready to claw if I had to.

Yet, before I could reach the guards, a needle pricked my neck. Turning, I saw Larry.

“This is for your own good,” he said, sympathy in his eyes.

He pressed the needle, injecting the liquid inside into my skin. The world swayed, my vision darkening

I saw Delta on the grass, dead. I reached for her.
