Katie's P.O.V

I took another kick in the stomach and that's when I had it. I fell to the ground not moving because I couldn't. We had gone though almost the whole deck- 47 cards out of 52. There isn't much more I can take of this and at this point I'm ready to give up my fight and let go. I may be giving Emily the satisfaction of me dying but at least I wouldn't go though this pain anymore. The only thing that was keeping me going was Asher. And Asher only.

"Come on Katie. Get up, the game only has a few more rounds." Emily's voice rang through my ears, causing me to shiver. I wasn't able to move, it hurt too much. "Aw too tired?" She taunted. "We'll I guess I'll be nice and end your life now. No need to thank me, it's my pleasure." Without another word I felt a stabbing in my stomach. I yelped in pain. She left the blade in me, creating excruciating pain.

Emily brings her face close to my ear and whispers, "Pay backs a-" Before she could finish her sentence, I shut my eyes and everything goes black.

Asher's P.O.V

I could feel her pain growing more, making me want to tear someone's head off. How dare someone hurt my mate. Katie's scent is growing stranger with each step I take.

Running through the woods I then her a blood curling scream that I know belongs to Katie. I run as fast as my wolf could go and then I see her- laying helplessly on the ground while Emily circles her. There's a knife in her stomach and I couldn't hold myself back when Emily leans by her face.

I launch myself into her and she stumbles back. As soon as she realizes it's me she shifts and starts attacking me. I make sure not to look over to Katie because I'd be too distracted to kill Emily.

Emily claws me in the face and I take the chance and chomp own her neck, making her whimper in pain. I once again launched myself at her and clawed her face and she fell to the ground- unmoving. She wasn't dead... Yet.

She suddenly shifted into her human form, which was now covered in scratches and blood. When Emily saw me her eyes went wide and her breaths came out shaky. I also shifter and kneeled down to where she was and looked her in the eyes. "Emily, I hope you know that I will very much enjoy killing you." And right after I said that I snapped her neck.

Without giving her another glance I ran over to where Katie was. Her heartbeat was getting slower and slower by the minute. I carefully took the knife out of her stomach and she grimaced in pain, her eyes still shut.

I grabbed her and held her bridal style and began running through the forest to the pack house. I felt the leaves crunch under my bare feet and several sticks stab me but I ignored all those and ran as fast as I could.

Once I was at the pack house I bust down the door with my foot and went to the living room and laid her down. "Is someone in here?!" I shouted, panic taking my voice. Katie was losing a lot of blood and I couldn't do anything.

Suddenly her mother comes rushing in and shields her eyes. "Boy, put some clothes on!" She snapped.

I immediately let out a growl. "Your daughter is dying and you're worried about me being naked?! Make yourself useful and get the pack doctor!" I roared at her and she flinched but scurried out to do what I said.

I kneeled down in front of Katie and grabbed her hand and kissed her bruised knuckles. "Stay with my baby." I whispered.

After a couple minutes the pack doctor came in along with Katie's mother. The doctor told us to scoot back so she could help her. Katie's mother handed me a pair of shorts and I shot her an annoyed expression but putting them on.
