Chapter 24: She Healed Me!

ANA POV

A feral growl left the red eyed beast’s mouth before it lunged at me. I squeezed my eyes shut as sharp claws raked down my side. I let out a scream of pain, hoping someone would hear me. The sound of fabric tearing, snarls, and my sobs echoed in the room.

Out of nowhere a tingling sensation began to spread from my chest to all of my limbs. I must be losing too much blood and hallucinating because I could have sworn, I saw white light surrounding myself and the wolf that was towering over me.

I briefly lost consciousness and woke to the sound of a whimper. On my side was a young boy, no older than twelve, curled up in a ball with his eyes squeezed shut. His chestnut brown hair clung to his forehead from sweat and blood. It took a moment for me to realize he was whispering to himself. “I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it.”

Pain radiated in my side as I rubbed the arm of the boy. “Hey, it’s okay. It’s all going to be okay.” I soothed.

The boy opened his eyes.
