Chapter 786\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene was still frozen, unable to move or pry her eyes away from her mate. Her eyes were filled to the brim with unshed tears, and her body trembled slightly, but only noticeable if you were staring at her for a long while.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJudy,\u201d I heard my name coming from Gavin\u2019s lips. I didn\u2019t notice he was now standing in front of Erik, trying to get him to back off before he killed Chuck in front of everybody. \u201cGet her out of here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew he was speaking about Irene, and I nodded in agreement. Nan and Eliza rushed towards us, worry evident on both their faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHelp me,\u201d I pleaded as I took hold of Irene\u2019s arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nan took her other arm, and Eliza guided us out of the ballroom. Irene went with us numbly, finally able to pry her eyes away from Chuck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He screamed for her to wait, but Erik was fast and had him by the throat. Gavin tried to get Erik to loosen his grip. Some other gammas guided us even further through the crowd until we were out of the room, the door shutting behind us and blocking my view of what was happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once we were finally away from everything, Irene finally let out a sob. She covered her mouth with her hands and let all her tears fly free. Her entire body wracked with these sobs, and she couldn\u2019t contain the tremors any longer. I was quick to wrap my arms around her, trying to hold her together the best that I could.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nan also wrapped her arms around Irene, forming a strong and unbreakable bond. Eliza patted Irene on the back, unsure of what to do or say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIrene\u2026\u201d I whispered as she sobbed. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wiped hair away from her soaked face, trying to make her see the light. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t deserve you. You deserve better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been with someone else\u2026\u201d she whimpered. \u201cMy mate lied to me. I feel sick to my stomach.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d I said, my heart breaking even more. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry this is happening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate him \u201d she whispered. \u201cI hate him so much for treating me like I\u2019m nothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not nothing,\u201d Nan said, pulling back to look at her. \u201cHe\u2019s the fool\u2026 not you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eliza reached into her purse, pulling out a napkin, and tried to hand it to Irene, but she refused it. Her breathing was heavy as she pulled away from us. Her wolf was rising fast, grief turning to rage. The wind stirred around her, the scene of her power bleeding into the night. Irene didn\u2019t shift often, but when she did, she was a surprisingly powerful wolf. I suppose that had to do with her bloodline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIrene,\u201d I warned softly. \u201cDon\u2019t shift. Not here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd why not??\u201d She asked, whipping around to face me. Her numbness was replaced with pure anger. \u201cHe deserves to feel my wrath\u2026 he should see what he\u2019s done to me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause then you lose,\u201d I said, stepping closer. \u201cYou give him the satisfaction of seeing you broken. You\u2019re stronger than that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, I thought she might snap anyway, but then her eyes flicked to the doorway briefly. I turned to see Erik standing there; his suit was half ripped from a patrol shift, and his hair was a mess, but he was still oddly good\u2013looking in a rugged kind of way. Not that I\u2019d ever admit that to Gavin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t looking at any of us, though; he was looking at Irene. His eyes were stormy, and even I could feel the tension in the air; it was so thick it could be cut with a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked like he wanted to say something, but he never got the chance. The light\u2019s above us flickered; it was faint at first\u2026 then it grew harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eliza frowned as she stared up at the ceiling, just like the rest of us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s strange\u2026\u201d she murmured, her brows pinched together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I felt it then\u2014a ripple beneath my skin, like static humming through my blood. It was a familiar sensation that put my wolf on edge almost immediately. My breathing grew shaky without me even realizing it, and then I felt Nan\u2019s hand on my shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJudy, what is it?\u201d She asked, her voice soft and laced with worry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026I don\u2019t know,\u201d I whispered, pressing a hand to my temple. An ache like no other started to form, and I winced at the tender spot. The world tilted slightly; the sound grew distant. \u201cSomethings-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could finish, a shock of pain burst behind my eyes, and I screamed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJudy!\u201d Nan gasped, holding onto my arm even tighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGet Gavin!\u201d I heard Eliza yelling as she too rushed towards me, though they all seemed so far away now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The last thing I heard was Nan shouting my name again and again as the ground rushed up to meet me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
