Aiden

I groan in agony as Kieran carries my dying body back into the clubhouse. I'm laid next to my baby brother who is also dying; because I couldn't get to him fast enough.

"I'm so fucking sorry." I manage to whisper in his mind. Xavier smiles as he places his hand on top of my head. My body always runs hot, but now I'm ice cold. Colder than a vampire. My eyes grow heavy. My body is lifted at the same time as Xavier's. My breathing is ragged and coming slower. It's getting harder and harder to breathe. Sunlight hits my face as the world goes black.

I smell smoke and the rancid smell of burning flesh. My eyes won't open. My body hurts all over. My hound is quiet and dormant. The cold seeps into my veins. I pry my eyes open just a crack and the room is pitch black. It almost feels as though I'm back in Purgatory. Between the cold and pain; I'm too weak to fight. It's the same feeling that Remi described having.

Pain shoots through my chest, shoulder and stomach as I try to move. I groan.
