Chapter 26

*This chapter is a little trippy

***MORA***

What did that mean? I went from having a half soul to a whole one, but I didn't really feel any different because it never bothered me in the first place. Liar. It did bother you. I clench and unclench my hands. Why would a great warlock like Sebastian lie?

My smile quickly disappears, and I grimace. This new piece of information only expands the puzzle that was my past. I could not help but feel that I was only a small piece of that puzzle, only a tool that was used and disregard. I was getting tired of it. My world felt small, suffocating even.

 It was too much. 

My palms start sweating, and my world slows down. I watch in slow motion as the table explodes into a heated discussion, but none of their words could enter my suffocating bubble.

Through my mate bond, I felt Kaiden's feeling of betrayal and anger making mine worse.

Adrenaline races through my veins, and I felt like running away from everyone, my parents, this pack, and this world. I almost wished that I could go back to my days of solitude in the Forbidden Forest where I didn't have to deal with all of this.

My heart starts racing, and I struggle to breathe. It reminded me of the first time that I fell into the lake as a pup. 

I was drowning, but the world kept on turning. 

Sluggishly, I stand up and lean against the table. I hear a muffled crack and felt myself fall. It wasn't a quick fall. It was in slow motion. 

I watch as Kaiden blink and realizes that I'm falling. I see him reaching forward to catch me, but he was too late. I watch as everyone leans back in shock and in disbelief. 

I watch as Raol tries to save his lunch just to be disappointed. It was fascinating.

Then, I hit the floor.

The cafeteria becomes eerily silent. I felt their eyes judging me, and I start panicking. I try to stand up, but I slip feeling something sharp punctures my palm.

Damn fucking legs never work when they need to. 

Mora!

And, now I'm fucking bleeding on the floor. Fucking fantastic.

Mora baby. Please look at me!

My face reddens, and tears pool in my eyes. Don't you cry! Don't you fucking cry! I bite my lips hard and furrow my brows. 

Mora, please.

Cold hands slide behind my ears and along my jaw repeatedly. I finally focus and notice Kaiden trying to calm me down.

"Hey, hey, hey. Look at me. Focus on me." Kaiden said as he rubs my other ears? "Deep Breath. In and out. You're doing well. You're doing amazing, sweetie."

He showers my face with kisses trying to calm me down. I lean into his touch and sigh in relief. I could breathe. That's all that matters.

"I'm fine." I mumble reluctant to part with his kisses, but, if I didn't, my heart would be racing for another reason. And, we couldn't have that.

"Let's take a look at your hand." He said giving me a soft kiss on the lips. He's going to be the death of me. 

"It already healed." I respond showing him my palm with a piece of metal stuck in it. He looks at me in panic.
