Chapter 0350
"Four!"
I hear my name being shouted behind me my family-but there's no time and it doesn't matter if it's not safe
I'm moving fast, thanks to my wolf instincts and my training at the academy, and I can feel my canines elongating to points in my feracity as a snarl rips from my lips, because if anyone tries to stop me right now - I'll rip them to shreds.
"Luca!" I scream, just as the ref shouts "Five!" counting down the moments until Luce is timed out.
Luca's uncle spins when he hears my voice behind him, his eyes going wide. I think he says my name in protest, putting out a hand to stop me, but I shove him aside, throwing myself against the side of the ring, desperately trying to scramble into it. I shout Luca's name again.
"You can't go in!" I hear Bruce shouting behind me, his hands on my hips, pulling me back. "If you go in, Ariel, he'll be disqualified!"
Something about that rings sense to me, and I shoot a glance back at Bruce alongside a snarl to make him see that I understand, but then I'm moving again, positioning myself, trying to get as close to Luca as I can.
"Sk!" the ref shouts, and I see Luce struggling now - see his eyes fluttering as he tries to pull himself together.
"Luca!" I cry again, my hand pounding on the canvas mat, trying to get his attention as I lean as far in as I can. But it's not working - he's not listening to me-
So I do the only thing I can.
I let go of the hold on our bond, and let it all flood me in a moment-
All of Luca's agony - his pain - his fear - his desperation to get up, to continue fighting, to win-
His weakness, his confusion, and again - again, always-that physical agony that threatens to overwhelm me.
My own eyes flutter back in my head as I'm almost taken down by it.
"Seven!" I can hear the ref's voice hesitating now as he sees me there the nation's Princess - trying to support her mate
Luca - everything he's feeling - it's like a tidal wave, and it threatens to sweep me away.
