Elena’s POV I kept slipping in and out of consciousness. I tried but I couldn’t move. The first time I gained consciousness there was silence. Absolute silence. I thought to myself, this cannot be how I die. Please moon goddess. I can’t die now at least not before being fully mated to Lucas. I blacked out again. The next time, I heard pounding on the door. Thank you moon goddess for at least sending help “Elena? Open up! Are you okay?” Nacho’s frantic voice broke through my hazy mind. “Elena? This has gone too far. Open up.” I could hear Alpha Marcus too clearly. “Help.” I manage to whisper before getting sucked into the darkness again. It was a dreamless void. The next time I woke up again, the haze in my mind had cleared and both Nacho and Alpha Marcus were watching expectantly.
