{ Azriel POV}
I was stuck at the Illyrian war-camp on the snowy mountains in a meeting with Devlon. Rhys had sent me here to make sure Devlon was training the girls and to check if everything was in order.
Devlon despised this, he believed that the woman should be kept just for cleaning and breeding and should not be treated like worries.
Devlon was still rambling on about one of his best male Illyrian and I had completely zoned out.
"Azriel," there was a sharp tug at my mind as Rhys spoke to me, I sat up,"you need to get back now there's someone here, we don't know who she is, but before she passed out she said your name."
Devlon had stopped speaking at my sudden movement, I just got up and walked out I didn't need to tell Devlon we're I was going.
I shot up into the cloudy sky, my wings spread out behind me, I loved this, I loved the wind in my hair, the fresh smell, everything about it made me feel light.
I finally landed in front of the house, when a blood curdling screaming met my ears.
{Rhysand POV}
Who was this girl and how does she know Az.
We had put her in one of the guest bedroom as we cleaned her wounds,
Feyre had insisted on cleaning them,after cleaning the deep gash in her abdomen I helped her role her over.
All the air in my longs vanished,
along her spine were jagged wounds and two stumps were her wings would of been on the back of her shoulder blades.
Feyres pale face turned towards me," who would do this,"she whispered.
All I could do was shake my head as the girl started to stir.
{Ayla POV}
My body still ached, but it was more a dull throb in my abdomen and my back.
I was lying on my bell and someone was cleaning my back, they touched my wing and pain shot through my body and I gasped I felt someone tense be hind me.
I reached my hand over my shoulder hoping the pain was just a cut in my wing and nothing worse,
My hand hit the place where my wings should of been and pain went through my body again.
" no,no" it came out less then a whisper, this is when reality hit me, my beautiful wings were gone.
I let out a blood curdling scream as darkness encased my body.
{Azriel POV }
Who was that screaming? what could of happened for there to be so much pain in that scream?
I ran into the house to find Cass and Mor running to the guest bedroom.
I followed behind theme.
There on the bed was a person rapid in darkness,
I recognised that darkness, I recognised those shadows and so did mine as they started to curl towards theme.
No it can't be, she was dead. My shadows didn't find her and I couldn't smell her scent anywhere.
My voice broke as I said,
"Ayla?"
