Bite Me (Stopped)

Chapter 10 part 1 I Can't Let You Go

+++++Conall’s POV++++++

I stood frozen, transfixed. My hands shook with fear and helplessness. Nico lied on the muddied ground, his back on the ground, facing up to the sky. He made no motion. Not even a silent grunt or whisper. He didn’t even look like he was breathing. I stared with horror. I couldn’t protect him!!!! I…. I shook my head. Keep clam. Nothing will happen if I just stand and mope around. I took his lifeless body into my arms, his head falling backwards. Even with his eyes closed, his still as beautiful as the moon. I caressed his cheeks, his pale skin glowing in the dark, or so it seemed. I whispered sweet sorrows to him. I whispered my love, I told him my fears. I felt his dull and faint pulse. Suddenly, I heard a startled scream interrupted with another cry. It was 2 of them. They were moving in closer fast. I got ready for an attack, gently putting aside Nico’s body to somewhere safer. They closed in quickly….100 meters…65 meters…32 meters….10 meters…Because of the thick grooves I couldn’t see beyond therefore I don’t know if they were already on target. I narrowed my eyes and used my wolf’s eyes. THEY’RE HERE!!

I quickly turned around. It was him, the man who stole Nico from me that day!! “Leo!!!” A brown haired guy called. He was pale skinned, sweet in complexion. So that’s his name, Leo, huh? They came into view. “Leo” approached with a look of shock and terror. He wasn’t looking at me but on Nico. I stepped in between them. My side ached. More blood gushed out. “You…” I gasped at him. Even though I wanted to act tougher and more threatening I couldn’t. “Is he dead?” The man in front of me asked in a grave voice. “….No…but he needs attention really soon.” I replied. He might be tricking me. I eyed the man suspiciously and I made sure he knows it. “I don’t care what you think of me but right now you guys need to get out fast. There should be more people coming. I’ll handle the situation here. Where’s your back up?” He commanded. I growled. “They’ll be here any minute….You-“He cut me off. “We don’t have time to chit-chat. You’re badly hurt and so is he. Reika will help you down the hill.” He started leaving but I wouldn’t let him.

I turned back to the brown haired guy. He was holding onto Nico his hands bloodied, bullets on the ground. “You’re Conall right?” Reika asked. “I’m sorry but you’ll have to swallow your pride right now. Just do what is needed right now. You can settle your differences later.” He started to pick Nico up. “Are you going to help?” He asked. I didn’t reply. I looked at Leo, he’s back facing me. “Fine.” I responded with a grudge. I stared at Nico’s gentle figure. Even as we speak the wounds are healing slowly but surely. I don’t know what Reika did but the bullets were out from him. Even my wounds are healing but not so fast as Nico’s. We ran down hill carefully as not to disturb the sleeping beauty so much. I could hear the fighting from Leo’s direction. I gritted my teeth. We’ll settle out differences later. I mentally noted. We got Michael too, Eric will kill me, but I don’t have time right now to think about it.

Our reinforcement has come. We already had a hunch that something like this could happen, that’s why I rushed here… even though I wasn’t supposed to. Lloyd was with his group, they were trusted enough. He had already vowed loyalty to our pack: loyalty through blood. A car sped down the road, it was Eric. He was concerned and furious. He stopped after making a U-turn to us. I gave a nod to Reika. “He’s one of us.” The car door opened and I saw the demon rushed out. SLAP

“You!!!!” He screamed at me. His eyes were stained with tears. He glanced to Michael and clenched his fists. “GET in the Car…” His voice wavered with a threat. Reika helped me put the two inside the vehicle. There was a dreading silence. He started the car. “Get in.” He whispered. I was doing as he told when Leo’s mate stopped. “Umm…I…Leo is still there so…I’ll…umm.” I nodded in understanding. But before he left Eric called out to him. “Stop! What good do you think you can do? Conall…I don’t give a fuck what you think of that man but right now you have to block that out. Give him a hand. I’ll wait here with Reika… right?” He didn’t look at me as he spoke. I guess his mad about me just bursting out and recklessly doing as I pleased. Reika gave me a look of uncertainty.
