The Alpha's Bloodline [Completed ]

Chapter 29. Lost Hope

Anthony's POV

My eyes are firmly glued to Carla's. She is staring at me with her lovely grey eyes. I've always loved her eyes. They're so beautiful. Just like her.

I gently brush away the blonde locks obstructing her face and lean down to kiss the top of her head.

While doing so, dark crimson liquid coates my fingers.

I freeze.

I don't dare to look at the wound in her neck or the probable gashing cut. But that doesn't prevent me from having the view of the puddle of blood pooling around her.

There's so much blood. . .

But she'll be fine. She will be, right? She has to. She can't leave me. She can't. Nothing will happen to her. I'm sure of it. She had survived once. She will do it again. I know that.

I gaze down at her adoringly, "I love you, you know. Even when I was acting before, a part of me always loved you. And before I knew it, I was whipped. I fell for you so hard that it terrified me."

Hollow grey eyes peered into mine, unblinking.

"You love me too, don't you?" I asked softly, "Ofcourse, you just said you did. I'm so forgetful." A chuckle eluded my lips.

"Anthony. . ." I could hear a faint voice calling me. Who it is, I couldn't really understand.

Or was it an illusion?

I can't see anyone. I can't feel anything. Everything seems numb-empty. The only thing I could feel is Carla's cold body pressed up against mine. That's a good thing, right?

Just her and me.

"Anthony." I heard that voice again, maybe firmer this time?

But it felt so far away. As if someone was speaking through a tunnel.

I gazed back at Carla, "I love you." I murmured again because I don't know what else to say.

She looks so angelic that it hurts my heart in all the right way. It feels like a hallucination.

"Anthony!" I'm suddenly jerked by my shoulder.

It's not until then that I realize I'm shaking. Tremendously. My whole body and soul.

Kaitlyn is staring at me with horror in her eyes and shaking me a lot. As if to snap me out of something. What, I don't know.

"Oh my God, he's having a panic attack." She was yelling, "Anthony, look at me. You have to control this. I know your powers ascended at the wrongest of times but you can't let them consume you!"

Ugh. Why is she suddenly so loud? And control what powers?

"Tone down the fire." She yelled again, "Snap out of it!"

My ears drummed at the high tone of her voice. For the love of God, can't she just shut up? I want to remain all alone with Carla just like few moments ago. Where did Kaitlyn even come from?

My eyes narrowed when I turned to look around. She wasn't alone?

Why are there so many people? And why is there so much of blue flames? I don't know what is happening.

Just then, two large hands grab my face and I'm staring right into Valerian's dark green eyes.

"Listen," I can see his eye-colour changing and suddenly I'm drifting to a hazy state, "St-"

"Valerian, no!" Kate pushes him away from me snapping me out of the haze, "You can't compel him to get over his emotions. It'll only make it worse. He'll always feel empty. He can do this. Trust me."
