Ch 7 I'm sorry...

Chapter 7

•3rd POV•

Amith was starting to feel weak from the loss of his mate. Especially when he heard glass shattering seeing the vase Sally had pestered him to buy for the hall last week claiming it would give it a more homey feel. His concentration had slipped and he was halfway through the packhouse

AMIR PLEASE STOP

all he got was a growl in response,

He was fighting with all his might to get him to slow down

remember what Lyra and Sally said we have to protect pups

PLEASE AMIR

another growl erupted from his chest as he neared the room when he could smell the girls.

OH MY BABIES

Amith realized there was nothing he could do but warn them

He searched for a connection almost like feeling in the dark for something you dropped

He searched as their scents got stronger and pushed and pushed a finally getting through to Xoila.

She was comforting Stacy when she felt a pain in her head confused she let go of Stacy's hand and gripped the sides of her head.

Xoxo it’s me Dad

Stacy looked at her bewilderment gracing her features as she tilted her head looking at Xoila.

I can’t stop him please help us

Before Stacy could ask Fae interrupted

“We need to position ourselves if we want to go about this properly...So I have to ask who’s going to act as a decoy?” They both look at her and noticed that she was holding her hand out with a tranquilizer gun.

“I-I’ll do it since Stay’s taking the shot” Xoila reached out taking the firearm, she was still feeling the pain from the sudden link.

I hate that we have to do this

It’s okay baby stay safe and help keep my other baby safe too

Stacy still had a look of suspicion on her face as she glanced at Xoila still wondering why she had grimaced. Xoila she looked at Stacy giving her a sad but reassuring smile and signaled her to position herself.

I promise

Stacy still confused gave her one more glance and moved to her dresser to where she knew Amir would charge towards giving her the perfect shot. Xoila then refocused all her energy to respond again

‘Dad?’ for a moment Amith’s heart swelled with pride and with the remains of his sanity he implored

‘Look after her Xoxo’ before the connection cut off Xoila answered with immense sadness saying

‘We love you’

***

Fae had positioned herself on a side of the door climbing up and digging in her hands and heals into the upper wall and ceiling (kind of like Spiderman).

She had the higher ground and she knew Amir wouldn't be able to detect her very much like Xoila, Fae had the ability to mask her scent. This would give her the perfect advantage once he came barreling into the room, she would be able to take him down so the girls would have better shots.

Stacy was ready to go in position and looked over at Xoila who decided to act as a decoy so that they could take him out after she shoots him with a tranquilizer.

•STACY•

I looked over at Xoila as the thumps of paws hitting the hardwood floor got louder. She looked really sad and I was worried she thought about the consequences of what I'm about to do. Then as if she could feel my worry she looked at me the sadness leaving her features and determination flowing into its place.

She was looking at me like she was concentrating and then I felt a sharp pain in my head. I didn't want to fall over so I gripped the dresser and let whatever thought was trying to crawl into her mind in

‘Ya look constipated’ I was a little taken aback because I could have sworn Xoila was talking to me through mindlink. I concentrated and answered

‘Xoila?’ and looked at her kinda hoping she would answer and not make me feel stupid.

‘Yeah it's me you dork’ I lean back a little shook and then glanced at Fae to see if she could hear us but she looked like she was zoning out doing her thing again.

‘Dude how come we can talk to each other if we haven't met our wolves yet’ I said as I turned to look at her again

‘I think your dad had something to do with it’ my head whipped back into her direction

‘My Dad?’

‘Yeah he said “ ‘Look after her Xoxo’ ”

At that moment it sounded like my dad... as if she was replaying the message. I was a little sad knowing that my dad wasn’t strong enough to take control away from Amir and I didn’t know how to respond so

‘Oo-oh’ was the best I could come up with

‘I'm sorry Stace but I know he loves you with all his heart and I made sure he knew you felt the same way’ at this moment I wanted to cry but then my mind jumped to confusion.

‘Hey Xoila how come Fae can't hear us?’ Xoila looked like she was thinking for a second and then said

‘I think this a Stacy and Xoila only link tho’ I tilted my head to the side and answered well

‘That's a little strange’ Xoila copied my movements and smirked

‘But so are we’ I giggled a little catching Faes attention and responded

‘You have a point-’ then as if Fae snapped out of it she said

“Get ready”

I turned my attention to the door realizing the thumps got louder and louder. My heart started to pound and Gave the door my full attention, at that moment it felt as if my heart would stop. The door was coming off its hinges as if it was bursting from too much pressure. My Dad’s wolf springing threw and going straight for Xoila.

Fae then pounced from her position catching Amir off guard and taking him down, they skid forward as he thrashed to get Fae off. Coming to a halt in front of Xoila who was about 3ft away. In one swift movement, she aimed and pulled the trigger taking her shot. The dart flew forward hitting my Dad right in the neck, he flinched as if feeling the drug start to flow into his system.

All of a sudden, a burst of energy surged through Amir and he flung Fae off sending her through the window. Xoila screamed “FAE!!!” as she ran towards the window completely forgetting the position she was in. Amir turned Growling and getting ready to pounce on Xoila.

Realization hit and Xoila let the last 2 darts fly out of her gun each landing in other areas with major arteries. Then everything slowed as Amir leaped forward his jaw opened going in for the kill. He was about 1 foot away ‘I'm sorry Dad... I love you’

I pulled the trigger and I took my shot sending the bullet straight between his eyes.

Xoila ducked and he crashed into the bed breaking it in half as his lifeless body landed. I jumped off the dresser tossing the gun to the ground and running to Xoila. She had blood on her face and tears forming in her eyes as she looked at my dad's lifeless body. I pulled her making her stand dragging her out of the room. Tears streaming down my face

“Let's go check on Fae” she didn't respond and just silently nodded as we made our way down from the 6th floor to the 1st.

I took deep breaths

I won't cry

he's with mama and Pops now
