Chapter 143
Lyra
I shift closer to Kai and look down at the deep gash in his chest, and my stomach turns. The hole is so deep that I can see the tissues in his chest. Instead
of red blood, there is a thick, blue kind of melting substance inside him. It looks like liquid fire, and it’s eating him alive.
The Queen stands right behind me. I can feel her eyes on the back of my neck.
“How are you going to heal my son?” she asks. Her voice is sharp and fearful.
I turn to look at her. Despite the fact that she fought the King to let me in here, she doesn’t trust me. Her eyes are narrowed, filled with suspicion and a
flick of distrust.
“My Queen, I know this is hard for you, but please, you have to trust me,” I say, my voice trembling. I can’t do this in front of anyone else. You have to
leave the room.”
She doesn’t move. Her gaze hardens. “Do what? Why must I leave?”
“I…I can’t heal him in front of people, I explain, trying to find a way to hide the truth of my nature. “It’s dangerous for me. And for him. The energy… it’s
sensitive.*
The Queen glares at me through her tears. “How do I know you won’t just make him worse? How do I know you aren’t finishing the job those assassins
started?”
I see the desperation in her eyes. She is a mother watching her firstborn slip away. I stand up and walk over to her, gently taking her hand in mine. I hold it with both of my hands, hoping she can feel my sincerity.
“You Lycans can sense the aura of
a person, right?” I ask softly. “Please. Sense me now. Know if I am evil or not. Do you feel that in me?”
The Queen stares at me in silence. I hold her gaze, not blinking. After a long moment, she lets out a ragged breath and wipes her eyes.
“Save him,” she whispers. “Please, just save him.”
She turns and walks out, closing the door behind her. I’m finally alone with
I sit back down beside him and close my eyes. I try to reach deep into my soul, searching for that white spark Wyndra and I share. I focus all my thoughts
on the blue poison, imagining it being washed away by white light. I stay like that for what feels like forever.
When I open my eyes, nothing has changed. Kai is still pale. The blue poison is still glowing and his life force is fading with every second.
“Why isn’t it working?!” I groan in frustration. “Wyndra, help me! He’s dying!”
‘You haven’t mastered your healing abilities yet, Lyra,’ Wyndra’s voice sounds distant and strained. That is why it isn’t working through the air.
“I have to save him, Wyndra. Tell me how please.”
There might be a way,’ she says.. If you can touch his heart directly, your essence will automatically pour into him it will heal him from the inside out. But it is very dangerous.”

Dangerous how?”
‘The poison of the demon fire is aggressive. If you bridge the gap between your souls, the poison right move into you. It could overtake us and kill us both.
Fuck.
Fear grips my chest. I look at Kai’s face. The man who took an arrow meant for me. I think of how he protected me tonight. Fhave no choice.
‘I’m doing it,’ I say.
