Erondale Chapter 23
Toby’s POVI hear the bells signaling that Chris has been made the King. I can tell that Erin wants to go to him. She won’t go though because our best friend is in there fighting for her life. One of the nurses finally came out because Selene is screaming.I finally started feeling like I can breath again and the pain has stopped. The bond is still there so I knew what she was going to say before she said it. Rae didn’t die. I’m still sitting on the floor, broken. Sweat is drenching my shirt.I felt her leave. The nurse explained that she had flat-lined. Just before the doctor pronounced her death, she inhaled air like she was drowning. It was a miracle. Right now, she is in surgery. I glance over at Talon who keeps giving me looks like he wants to kill me.“Has anyone told Emma?” I hear Erin ask.Emma! How could I forget about Emma! I look to her brother and parents. They are thinking the same thing.“I’ll do it.” My father said. “I think it best if it comes from someone who can get

Chris’s POVI’m walking back to my room at the palace when I run into Emma. When she first notices me, she rolls her eyes and starts taking off.“Em.” I call out to her. She starts running faster, irritating me. I groan frustrated. “Em.” I holler out again, using my authoritative tone.She spins around. “Yes, your Majesty?” She bows, sarcastically.It irritates me. We were best friends. I struggle to keep my irritance at bay. I scowl at her and take a deep breath. I’m already upset that Rae didn’t show. I had hoped that years apart would help her feel better.“Em. Get up, you know that you can call me Chris.” I tell her.She doesn’t look very happy that I consider her a friend. Great. I knew that Rae and her were best friends but could they both not forgive me? I’ve changed. I’m sorry for what I’ve done. She looks at me disbelieving.She raises her eye in defiance. The smirk on her face irritates me more. “I can?? Oh!! How exciting! Is it only Rae who isn’t good enough to call you Chr
Erondale Chapter 25
Toby’s POVI’m shocked. That’s the only thing that I can say. I’m completely shocked that Chris has found his Queen and so fast. Not to mention that she is a horrible girl. It took everything in me not to snap her neck from the way she spoke about my sister and Rae.I look over at Chris. I just want to knock his lights out. Rae loved him and he threw her away. He broke her heart. What’s worse is, he broke her heart and replaced her with that evil incarnate.Even though Rae is my fated, I only want her happiness. I realize that it may not even be with me. Though I will wait for her. For some reason, the thought of her being with Chris does not spark jealousy like I thought it would. However, the idea that she is going to be heart broken, when she finds out about Chris’ Queen, burns a fire in me. I just want to get up and rip Chris’ heart out. Not to mention that I don’t trust that horrible she devil.I feel my body vibrating. I’m about to change and I’m not sure that I can stop the pr

The doctor is standing off to the side, talking to Chris, when we enter the building. I immediately rush over to her. Selene is running behind me and Chris turns at our approach. I se him grimace as he steps to the side.“How is she?” I ask.“She’s out of surgery. Now, it’s just a waiting game.” The doctor answers.“What happened?”“Part of her lung had collapsed. Even though it healed with her natural healing abilities, it remained weak. However, what we didn’t know is that she had some internal bleeding.”My eyes widen. “Were you able to fix it?”“Yes, Alpha. We did fix it.” She assures me.I breathe a sigh of relief. A weak lung could cause major problems in the future.“There is a but in there, isn’t there?” Selene questions.I tense and wait. I hadn’t heard it but the look on the doctor’s face confirms it. What could it be?The doctor sighs. “Yes. She’s in a coma.”“You said that you put her in a coma for the surgery and recovery. Why does it sound like there’s more?” Selene asks
Erondale Chapter 27
Chris POVI glance around and realize that her mother and Toby haven’t made it back in so I make my way over to the doctor. Talon and Katy don’t seem to be here either. I’m not sure when they left or where they went.“Hey, doc. How is she?” I ask, quietly.She glances at me. “I’m not really supposed to talk about it with anyone outside of her parents but since you are the King…” she sighs. “She’s not doing well at all. I’m not a hundred percent sure that she’s going to even wake up.”My heart nearly seizes hearing those words. My last memory with her is going to be her walking away from me? I have memories of her but she didn’t know that I was at her birthday party. The last time she looked me in my face was that day she walked away from me as I was leaving.I’m not sure when anyone noticed that she left but I saw the moment she left. After all, I was looking at her. She just looked away and took off. I thought that my heart was broken then. Finding out that that may be the last time
Erondale Chapter 28
I walk around to the desk and take a seat, silently watching the witch. When Reginald enters, I wave my hand in the direction of the chairs for him to sit. He and Katrina sit down next to each other. Reginald slightly moves his chair away from her. I suppress the laughter. We don’t trust witches, obviously.“Alright, Katrina. What is this promise that you speak of?” I ask.“When you were just a toddler, I was summoned by your father.” She starts.That surprises me but I keep my face neutral so that she’ll continue.“The night of your coronation I am to give you this potion.” She holds up a bottle of purple liquid. “You need to drink this, in the next fifteen minutes, or it will be too late.”I tilt my head in question. What is this? Does she really think that I am going to drink some random potion? No matter what, though, my interest is piqued.“What is it for? And, why did he summon you?”“You are powerful.” She answers simply, like I should already know this.What? I scrunch my eyes
Erondale Chapter 29
I’m not sure how long I’ve been out but I wake up to sunlight shining through the window. I groan. It feels like I’ve been dropped off a bridge several times over. I try to sit up but I feel lightheaded and lay back down.“Easy there, Chris.” Reginald says.He walks over with a bowl of water and places it on the table. Reaching around the table, he pulls out the decanter pouring two glasses before he comes back to me.“You’re going to need this.” He says.”I know that I do.”“Okay, why?”He chuckles. “Well, you’ve been out for about a day in a half.”My eyes widen. “Rae?”He frowns. “Still in her coma. No improvement though Toby has been with her the whole time.”I nod. So, there is something going on there.“You’ve got visitors.” He says as he walks out.Wow. He doesn’t even give me time to recuperate even though I can tell that he is relieved. Before I have time to sit up, I hear the door open.I open my eyes to see Preston standing over me with a smile.“Welcome back to the living,
Erondale Chapter 30
Rae’s POVI’m not sure what happened after I opened my eyes at the Lake. Toby looked at me strangely as did Erin. Before I could figure it out, Toby took off running. The struggle to keep my eyes open was real. I managed to stay awake long enough to hear someone call Toby ‘young alpha’. What does that mean?I lost consciousness again. This time I know what is happening. I wander around in the dark, for I don’t know how long, looking for the lady that I talked to last time. However, she doesn’t come this time.This time, I wander into a chilly place. The air is so cold, my skin is turning blue and goosebumps are rising up all over my flesh. I stop moving for a second as I feel that something is seriously wrong. Am I actually dead this time? I shudder at that thought.I take a deep breath. I need to find a way out of the darkness and into the light. Soon, I find myself at a river. However, the river doesn’t look like a good river. There’s a man in a hood standing there. Don’t ask me how
