The Fight For Light

Chapter 33 Can I Heal?

Persephone's POV

I see my mate, the strong man he is, being taken down by a cheat, a conniving move that none of us ever saw coming and I couldn't be more furious.. Who could do that? And to their own brother I might add.. Daniel did say he has had a hatred building inside of him for Jay, but I never expected anything like that. I watch the love of my life, on the ground, gasping for air as the blood gurgles then bubbles from his lips. I feel my heart break at that sight alone. The man who has made me feel so safe and secure in such a short span of time is now fighting a losing battle, for me.. That is causing him his life.. I thought the moon goddess said he was my happy ending.. How can they give me this if they are just going to take it away? That's not fair... unless there is someway to change it.

"Don't hesitate." I hear whispered in my ear from the voice of what sounded like the Moon Goddess from before. But I looked around quickly and didn't see her as I struggled more in Daniel's tight hold. But what I do see is my mate ripping the knife out of his body as he throws it across the way, with what strength he has left. It flies so fast that I can hear the zip and thumping-crack of the blade making contact. I know it's just a throw, but it feels as if the blade is so precise that it directly hits the back of Daniel's head. But right next to me, since I'm hanging over his shoulder so it almost hits me, I'm just glad it didn't.

As soon as I heard Daniel's knees hitting the ground, I pulled myself out from his literal death grip, that was growing weaker by the second.. Then running to my mate's side without hesitation. I quickly pressed my hand on the biggest wound out of the multiple stab wounds he has accumulated in this fight. The one that next to his lungs if not piercing his lungs, is the most concerning, of course. I look down at him staring at me with so much love in his eyes just for me. I can't help but feel my heart break in this moment watching him look so helpless, and making me feel even more helpless then I have ever felt. I want to help him but I don't want to sentence him to his death by doing so.

"Can I help him please?! He doesn't have much time." I beg from the people around me as the tears pour down. "Please I need to help him please?" I plead with everyone around until I hear from behind me, "Daniel is dead, technically Jayce won." I nod at that as I say. "He won.. the battle is over.. I'm saving my mate.. no hesitation." I declare as I feel his hand gripping mine in a weakened hold. I look down as I stare into his eyes for only one moment, before his eyes shut. My hands tremble over him, not wanting to hesitate, but the overwhelming feelings are consuming my soul. I shake my head as the tears pour down.

"No Jay, NO! Please don't leave me, please. I only just got you. I can't lose you. Please Jayce hold on." I beg of my mate as if it's the last thing that I can do.. But I know it's not.. I know what I can do.. the same thing I have done for everyone else.. but this time.. it's different.. this time if I fail I lose my mate, my one and only. So I can't fail. My hands won't stop trembling even in this moment, so I try to hold them as steady as I can. I can hear the cries of his mother from behind me, bringing me out of my concentration. I keep getting distracted by losing sight of what's important, since everyone is panicked around me. I just need to concentrate on the task at hand and try to void out anything else.. I need my full attention on him and only him.

I put my hands directly over his torso as I chant those words I know all too well. "Let the light in to fight this good fight, there is more for you but not beyond the light. Wrap you with my comfort made only by love, just to protect you from pain like a glove. Piece together what has been broken to restore what you need, to be new when awoken. " I see the light illuminating from his torso as I anticipate if this has even worked. But I see no signs of, well anything.. I feel my heart sink as I try again saying the same words, before I see the light illuminating again. I jump up, grabbing herbs from the surrounding area, and muttering into my hands that are holding the ingredients as I spin my finger, creating a little extra help for this situation. I go down on my knees again, right next to him as I fluttered the remedy over his wounds and saying the words again. He lights up brighter than before from his wounds, but still no movement, nothing in the results saying it's working. "Please Jay don't leave me. Milo please help him please, I can't be without you two!"" I begged again, because when it comes to him I'm not too proud to beg. So I just keep watching intently, looking for any type of sign that he is ok.. anything, just give me a sign.

The lack of any type of movement gets my heart clenching and eyes pouring. What happened to my happy ending? What happened to my future with my amazing mate, creating a family and life? Why did this even have to happen? This is all my fault.. I can never forgive myself for this.. If I wouldn't have met him or even agreed to be here with him, then none of this would have happened.. I'll never forgive myself.. But if he dies right now after everything she told me, I swear on my life that I will never forgive the Moon Goddess ever. "Moon Goddess! You said he was my happy ending for the good I have done for others! Where is that happy ending now Seline?! You can't tell me that he is what I need to truly be happy, then take him away!" I said yelling loudly to her, not caring who else hears, because I know she can hear me in my despair.

Everyone around looks shocked at my declaration of anger towards their goddess, or maybe they are shocked that I have talked with her.. but either way, she needs to know this isn't fair.. Why tell me he is the key to my happiness and my reward for the good I have done, then take him away before I can truly have him as my own, to just be happy.. Why? Why him? He didn't do anything wrong. So why not me? I feel the tears pouring like an endless waterfall. "No.. my Alpha, my everything.. Please don't leave me.. We have only just begun our journey, we can't close this book now.. What happened to giving me the family we talked about, just growing together.. You promised me always.. You can't leave me in this dark world alone. You seem to be my only light now, how can I ever survive this dark world without you, when you're the only one I want with me in it?" This heartbreak is more than I ever imagined, completely overwhelming myself.

I beat myself up internally as I tremble over his lifeless body, hating every last bit of this day, because it quickly turned from the best day of my life to the worst. The only sound that fills the air is the continuous crying and pleading with the Moon Goddess from his mother. Isabella is a complete mess and I bet I will soon be gotten rid of after all this. I cry in despair as I lay my head down on his chest, closing my eyes, not feeling the sparks as strong as before, but I have his scent that slightly calms my heart. I enjoy this last moment just wishing there were so much more, but the time I did have was the most memorable time of my life and I will cherish it to my last day.

I hear someone running up to us but I don't want to move. I just want to be with my mate, I don't care if I'm covered in his scent by his musk and blood. "He's Alive." I hear from besides me as I look up with shock feeling the air come back into my lungs, giving me a small bit of relief. "What did you say?" I ask for clarification that I'm not in a delusional state from my heartbreak, from the woman who is currently hovering over me and my mate. "He has a faint heartbeat, but he has one.. Which is the best we have to work with.. I think he needs some rest to get the wolfsbane out of his system so his wolf can help heal him along with the magic you have bestowed.. but I think it actually worked my Luna." The woman says to me and I can't believe my ears. I did it? She didn't sound too confident about it, but the little bit she did have in her tone is good enough for me.. Hopefully I'm not hearing things or dreaming, but only time will tell.. and like she said.. We just have to give his body time.. But that's something I don't deal well with.. I hate waiting like most, but to have to wait to hear if I even have a mate, that is something I don't want to ever experience but I'm forced to.

"So what do we do now?" I asked her curiously, just wanting some type of guidance. "We need to take him to the pack hospital to try to help him survive this.. he is not out of the woods yet, but I think he has a good chance of surviving this.. but it will take time." She explains to me as I nod in understanding, I just don't know where this place is or how I am going to get him there, but believe me I will.. and when I do.. I'll be waiting for any sign he is ok.

I groan out, I knew all he needed was time.. I hate time, it's my worst enemy. I let out a deep breath before putting my arms underneath him, to try to do this for him.. But he is so much bigger than me, so I don't think I can, but damn straight I'm trying. I let out a deep breath as I pulled up to try to pick him up, using all my strength in every inch of my body, groaning out while using my wings to give me extra help. He gets slightly off the ground, before he is easily lifted. I opened my eyes and look around. I see Theo and Drew picking up my mate into their arms, taking him out of mine just to take to this pack hospital she is speaking of. I stand up without hesitation to follow them to this place because, believe me, I'm not leaving his side unless they make me.
