It all happened so fast, my mother screaming, Xander yelling my name as he became conscious when the pain jolted him awake.
I looked down and saw a sword pierced through my belly, it was like silver but it felt magical as I felt it being pulled out from behind me. Someone had stabbed me from behind and when I turned to see who it was, Nana went on to insert the sword in to my chest, stabbing my heart.
Xander howled in pain as he felt it through the mark. I couldn’t heal the wound in my stomach. Hunter pulled nana by his claws, shifting in to his wolf but nana disappeared before Hunter could kill him, leaving the sword on the ground. I could feel the blood seep out of me, as I placed my hands over my wounds.
I dropped to my knees as Xander quickly got up to catch me but wasn’t fast enough. My mother kneeling down to take a look at my wounds.
“Heal Sabrina!” She kept shouting but I couldn’t heal them. I looked at her, my eyes feeling droopy.
“I.. I I can’t…” I said before coughing out blood, falling to ground.
I could feel their emotions. The fear of losing me from Xander, the feeling of guilt from my mother and Hunter’s anger. Anthony was frozen in place, his eyes locked on the sword on the ground.
I was scared too. I have never felt such helplessness.
Anthony picked up the sword, marveling at it. He held it as if it could hurt him too.
“I thought this was just a myth. Father, you told me this sword did not exist!” Anthony said dropping the sword and shoving Hunter away from me.
Hunter growled but mother quickly stood up, standing between the two men as Xander pulled me in to his arms.
I looked in to his eyes to see him crying.
“Sabrina I can’t lose you too. I won’t survive it, please baby.” Xander says to me. He looks up at Hunter.
“I thought you said she was immortal!!” He shouted, a growl coming out of him right after.
“She is immortal.” Hunter said.
“Then why can’t she heal? Baby why aren’t you healing?” Xander says and I smile at him as I feel the darkness calling to me.
Xander shakes me.
“No! No Sabrina! Stay awake. Adrastos is just a baby!” Xander says and images of my son flash through my mind.
I would never see him grow up. I won’t get to raise him and now nana was somewhere hiding, she could kill him and I wouldn’t be able to protect him.
I failed him.
“I I.. I .. failed.. you. I… failed… him” I said as I gasped for air after each word but Xander shook his head no.
“You’ve been everyone’s hero. You’ve been fighting for everyone. This time, I need you to fight for you. You’re still so young!” Xander said to me.
He kisses my forehead and then each side of my face. His body, covered in my blood.
“If anything, life has failed you. We have failed at protecting you when you’ve been protecting everyone.” He said to me before darkness took over me.
I was in complete darkness but I could still feel Xander holding me. I could hear him howling as he projected his pain for all to hear. My mother shifted in to her wolf to join him.
Hunter and Anthony joined in right after. It felt like I was with them but I was also going further and further away from them. The darkness pulling me in deeper down in to complete darkness, death calling to me but I was trying to get closer to Xander.
I can not die. Xander needs me, Adrastos needs me. Xander was everything and I couldn’t leave him like that.
I could feel his pain. His thoughts were only of Adrastos. My son.
Our son.
How could I do the same thing to my son that my mother did?
My son will grow up without me because I failed to kill the woman that threatened his life and now she killed me.
I turned my back for just a second and now I was succumbing to my wounds. The all mighty Sabrina, the strong white wolf.
The powerful she wolf that can bring men to their knees killed by an ancient sword.
I didn’t even get the chance to be the fucken moon goddess. I unlocked a power that I didn’t even get to use. The moon goddess lineage, ending with me unless Anthony takes a mate from our realm.
Who was left?
I had incinerated all of them. Ethia’s entire army was done for, just like me.
I wanted so many things, see so many things. I wanted to see Xander live up to the promises he made to me. I wanted to watch my son shift in to his wolf and talk him through the pain. I wanted to watch him take on his role as alpha.
Xander kept shaking my body, trying to get me to wake and I was trying. My goddess I was trying. My eyes felt heavy, my body was rejecting my soul, evicting me from my own body. The body I’ve known all my life.
“Sabrina please don’t do this. Wake up baby, I need you. Adrastos needs you. I just got you baby, please wake up.” Xander said and I wanted nothing more than to comfort him.
My chance at love again. My third time is definitely a charm. The love that I desperately needed. The love that saved me.
