Chapter 116: Complete your bond

Darrien.

Holy shit.

What do I do?

He is not breathing anymore.

I watch him get paler and I don’t know what to do. I need to call Eligio back. I need his help. If Jabi dies, I will never forgive myself. I am a fucking healer and I don’t know what to do. How do I heal him when I don’t even know what is wrong with him.

Shit.

I carry him off the cold floor and take him into the living room. Carefully, I place him on the couch.

’’Think Darrien,’’ I talk to myself. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to bring him back. ’’Shit,’’ I stand up and start to pace around the living room. I grab the landline from the table and redial El. He answers at once ’’Something is wrong El, he is not alive.’’ I cry into the phone.

’’Jabi?’’

’’Yes.’’

’’What happened. You need to bring him back,’’ he shouts into the phone. This is all my fault. I am the one that took him out of the caves thinking it was for the best and now this happened. If I didn’t push him, he wouldn’t be in this situation.

’’What have I done? How do I fix this?’’ I pace around curling the wire of the phone around me in the process.

’’Bring him back now. Stop all this panic. Get your fucking head together and bring that kid back home,’’ he ends the call and I fall to my knees from the pain of all that is happening. I can feel him slipping away from me. His heart is not beating. I killed Jabi. I killed the love of my life and there is nothing I can do.

’’Fuck,’’ I cry as I lift him off the couch slowly. Looking at him now, he is unrecognizable. Jabi always had colour on his face, his cheeks red, his eyes chocolate brown. Those eyes that I love so much. Will I ever get to see them again?

I don’t know why I am so defeated.

I want to be optimistic, but I blame myself. This is all my fault. I am a selfish motherfucker. I did this to him. hasn’t the kid suffered enough?

I leave the house without even thinking about my shoes. I run at the speed of light under the bright sun with no care in the world. I could be spotted, found out but my only priority is getting him back home. I don’t know what will change. There is no one in that pack that can do anything to help him. I am supposed to be the healer but how can I heal someone that is already dead.

I get to the gates of the community. I see Eligio immediately.

’’Help me, brother,’’ I call out to him breathing heavily. My chest is heavy, my heart is racing from all the fear within me.

’’I’ve told Alby and Jules. They are in the infirmary waiting for you.’’ He tells me.

I walk into the community and he follows behind me. My eyes shift back to my link. The one person I love with all my heart. He is still not breathing. There is no life in him—all thanks to me.

’’This is not your fault,’’ El speaks up almost like he read my mind.

He is just trying to comfort me, deep down I know this is my fault. I must have done something wrong. I ruined things between us because of my stubbornness. Jabi trusted me and now he is dead. I keep saying he is dead, what else can I think when he is not even breathing anymore.

’’Thanks for the support but this is my fault. I did this to him, I killed him.’’

I look at him again in my arms. No rise and fall of his chest, the paleness of his skin. His eyes closed. I can’t even feel his blood running through his veins. There is no sign of life in him. The only colour on his body are the two marks of my teeth. They are still red and a little swollen. The reminder that I did this to him.

We get to the infirmary and Jules is the first person I see. He is the only one that I even think can help us right now. They lead me into one of the rooms and I place him on the bed. Jules is not alone. The man that came with him is beside him, almost like a shadow.

’’Is he dead?’’ I ask immediately I am a few feet away from him.

’’He is not dead,’’ the other boy speaks up at once. Almost like he is so sure of himself ’’But he should be,’’ he adds.

I don’t know what the hell he is talking about ’’How do we help him?’’ I ask running my hands through my hair.

This is too much for me. I have always been able to bring even the people closest to death back to life and now I can’t even do anything to help him. the fact that I can’t even feel his pulse or heartbeat is frustrating to me.

’’Calm down Darrien, he will be fine,’’ Jules promises like that is supposed to make me feel better. How can I calm down when I don’t even know what to do? I don’t know how I am supposed to help him.

They whisper to each other, so low that my heightened senses can’t even hear them. They are doing this intentionally, keeping all the information to themselves. The door to the room opens and the old guy—I guess he is Alby walks into the room. There is a smile on his face, I don’t know why he is smiling. There is nothing about this situation that should warrant a smile from this man.

’’Has he gone through the whole process? I see bite marks on his neck. Did you feed him yours?’’ he says as he touches Jabi, his fingers brush against my bite.

I know what he is talking about, did I give him my blood last night? No, I didn’t. It didn’t feel like I should. was I supposed to?

’’No.’’

He frowns ’’When Wolves mate, the alpha has to mark his mate. In your situation, since it is same-sex, you have to mark each other. He didn’t mark you last night?’’

I shake my head ’’No.’’

He furrows his brows almost like he is thinking of what to say next. everyone said this thing between us is instinctual. That we would know what to do. they should’ve explained things clearly.

’’Is this because I took him out of the cave?’’

I have to ask. I keep blaming myself for this and maybe it is really my fault. I led him astray as far as I am concerned.

’’No, you did what your spirit intended. There was no way you would have carried out the mating ritual in those caves. The moon is everywhere, our goddess was watching over you, even though you weren’t in the caves.’’

I nod, at least that is a little assurance. Some semblance of doubt has been washed away.

’’What can I do to fix this?’’

’’What did you do when you bonded with your link,’’ this time he directs his question to Eligio, who has been quiet this whole time in the room.

’’I took her blood and gave her mine,’’ he shrugs.

With everything they are saying, I know I messed something up last night. So at the end of it all, it is still my fault. I can never do anything good enough. I couldn’t even mate with Jabi properly.

’’Jabi is weaker than most omegas. His wolf should’ve taken charge. His wolf should’ve initiated it. this is not your fault,’’ Alby tries to ease the burden in my mind. at this moment, this old man is my favourite person. He has this way of making me feel better, not by much but a little better.

’’What do I do now, how can I fix this?’’

They all look at each other like it is the most obvious answer. ’’Give him your blood,’’ he breathes out.

’’What will happen when I do?’’

I need to know what I am up against. I don’t want to hurt him any further. What will giving him my blood do?

’’The bond will be complete,’’ they all answer at the same time.

I thought our bond was complete last night. It felt like it was, I felt one with him and now they are all letting me know that I messed things up as usual. I hate myself right now. I hate that I caused him so much pain when it all could’ve been avoided. I need to fix this, and then spend the rest of my life making it up to him.

If anything, ever happens to Jabi, I will never forgive myself.

I no longer wish to live in a world where he doesn’t exist.

’’Okay.’’
