I needed to neutralize the threat.

I needed to save my mates.

Someone grabbed me and I shrieked before throwing my entire weight into the person. I heard them tumble to the floor besides me. Then, someone grabbed my arm. I swung under their grasp and wrapped my own hand around their forearm. I squeezed. Snapping echoed in my ears.

Violent, horrified screamed echoed through the gym.

It snapped me out of it. I looked up and saw Kairos holding his arm. It looked to be boneless. Then I remembered the sound of crunching.

“Shit,” I whispered to myself.

Kairos was writhing in pain, cursing every other word as he slunk to the ground. “-Fucking shit fucking fuck

–!”

“No, no, no,” I crouched down and reached for his face. Her jerked away from me. Sadness flooded me. I’d done this. No wonder he was afraid of me.

“What the fuck!?” Kairos hissed. “I just re–healed this!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry-” I babbled. My hand reached for his face again. This time, he let me touch him, blowing huffs of air out of his nose as he tried to power through the pain. “I’ll – I’ll fix it –”

“Zora,” came Valentin’s voice. “The nurse need to reset it. Let him go-”

“No!” I threw over my shoulder. “I can do it. I can – I can fix it.”

I reached for Kairos’s arm with my power. As soon as I contacted him, he flinched. My eyes fluttered shut as I focused. I wrapped my entire power around his arm and held it. Then, slowly, I built the shattered bone back together. Piece by piece. The whole time, I made sure Kairos felt none of it. I took his pain and neutralized it with the power I had.

When I flutter my eyes open, Kairos was staring at me with shock. I gently dropped my hands from his face and let him look at his arm. He was astonished as he turned his palm over and over again.

“What did you do?” he gasped.

“I fixed it,” I replied.

He jerked his head back to look at me.

“Can’t everyone heal?” I shrugged.

“How?!”

“No,” Maximus said, blankly. “No one can. We heal ourselves but not others.”

“The power,” Valentin breathed. I turned around and looked at him. He seemed as shocked as the other too. My stomach immediately sank. He looked down at me.

“The one you unlocked,” he continued. “It must’ve done this.”

“What power?” Kairos snapped. “How did she get more power?”

My face immediately heated. I didn’t dare glance up at Valentin. Besides me, Maximus snorted.

“Put two and two together, motherfucker,” he threw at Kairos.

Immediately, there was an anger in Kairos’s eyes. He scrambled to his feet, leaving me on the floor. He turned his glare to Valentin.

“You fucking touched my fated mate?” he snarled.

“She’s my fated mate as well, Moonraiser,” Valentin said. I could tell her was trying tor remain neutral and failing.

“I. Don’t. Share,” Kairos gritted out from his teeth.

I got up on my own feet and tried to wedge myself between the two Alphas. Luckily, Maximus was already there. He shoved Kairos back, away from Valentin. I sighed in relief. It was quickly lost as I realized Kairos was now sizing up Maximus for a fight.

“You know multiple fated mates exist,” Maximus snapped. “Don’t act as dumb as you look. Her power is enough of proof that being with all of us helps. Have you ever met a wolf who could heal other wolves?”

“I don’t give a fuck who it ‘helps‘,” Kairos snarled. “What’s mine is mine.”

“She isn’t a piece of fucking meat,” Maximus threw back. “Have you ever considered we could share?”

Kairos looked back at me then to Maximus then to Valentin. He huffed one last time and I closed my eyes and waited for the crack of Maximus’s nose breaking with Kairos’s punch. Instead, I heard nothing. I opened my eyes and saw Kairos’s back stalking out of the gym. The locker room door slammed against the wall as he opened it.

“That could’ve gone better,” Valentin mused over my shoulder. Max snickered but I couldn’t bring myself to laugh.

Something felt like I’d just lost any chance I had with Kairos.
