“Pops told us all with that freaky telepath shit he does,” Lorenzo says, looking around in excitement.
I swear the only time you see him excited is when there is a battle ready to happen. He loves taking down anyone who threatens our family.
“Let’s get this over with and save your bride,” Jasper says with a yawn.
I don’t wait for anyone else to say anything before starting to take out the beings that arrived.
These ones are lower level, and it won’t take much to beat them.
I grab the blades that I always have on hand and take the beings out one by one as I try to make my way to the door. I glance at the door and see the main being has now opened it. Fuck.
I’m coming, baby. Just hold on.
I hear a scream as I get closer to the door and, when I finally make it there, I see my bride on the floor unconscious with blood pooling around her. My father stands in front of her, protecting her. There is an anger in his eyes that I have never see before.
“Leave my daughter alone,” he growls out.
“If you think getting rid of me will make this stop, it won’t. I’m not the only one ready to take care of your precious daughter, and the others when we find them,” the voice rumbles.
My dad looks shocked for a moment when he mentions all of his daughters, and that gives the being enough time to escape.
I rush over to my bride and see blood coming from her stomach.
“Fuck. Don’t die on me now,” I cry out.
“She’s going to be okay, son,” my dad says, kneeling on the other side of her.
“She has got a huge gash through her stomach. How is she going to be okay? I can see her insides. There is no way she can survive this,” I snap out.
“She’s already healing,” he says, looking down at her in awe.
That’s when I look down to see her body knitting back together.
“How? Are you doing that?” I ask.
He shakes his head. “No, I think that’s her.”
“She’s mortal, she doesn’t have any power,” I state.
“She is mortal, but the bond is already starting to develop. Once it starts, their powers will slowly develop. I think this attack is making them form faster. Your life forces are joining together,” he says in awe.
“She has the power to heal herself?” I ask as I watch her slowly heal.
“It won’t just be herself. She will have the power to heal, period,” my dad says.
“Let’s take her back to the palace; she’s not safe up top right now,” I say while picking her up.
My brothers walk in.
“The threat is gone for now,” Leopold says.
“Let’s get our sister home,” Fredrick says.
My dad creates a portal back to the palace, and I carry my bride to our home where she will be much safer as we can protect her better there.
I don’t care if she has the power to heal. That’s not something I want to see again. I thought I had really lost her.
It’s fucked up to think that I don’t know how I could live without her already when I barely know her.
