Chapter 0171


    “What do you need?” Damien and Dane ask in unison.


    Raven starts making a list as I watch Mallory drift into unconsciousness.


    “Hurry. But be careful, we don''t know where Salem is.” She mutters as the men disappear out the back door.


    Raven works to clean Mallory’s stomach, prepping it for whatever she needs to do. I find myself unable to move. I was inches away from getting my


    revenge for what she had down to me and yet6 I couldn''t say the words.


    “Damien will never forgive me if she dies.” Raven mutters, pushing intestines back in the gaping wound


    My eyes flicker up to her, but she isn’t looking at me, instead, she is too focussed on saving Mallory.


    If I stop her from helping Mallory, it would put her matebond with Damien at risk. She will hate me for taking away her chance at happiness. I couldn''t


    lose the one friend I have.


    “Can you save her?” I ask quietly


    ‘I think so.” she gives me a tight lipped smile. “The wound higher up has already healed which is a good sign. But I think her stomach is a bit like my


    leg. I won''t be able to tell until I can get in there properly.”


    She sighs. “I know you have issues with her, Neah. I know a million ideas are probably running through your head right now, but this is what I signed


    up for. Saving people and helping them has always been my dream. Please don’t let me leave her to die.”


    It''s your choice. I will stand by you no matter what you decide.” Nyx murmurs


    “Is there anything I can do to help?” It was so hard forcing the words from my mouth.


    Raven gives me a small smile. “Give me your hand.”


    She takes my hand and ces it on Mallory’s neck. “Normally, I would listen to her pulse, but it’s not clear. Her body is going through mass amounts


    of trauma so you have to trust what you feel. Do you feel it?”

    I watch Raven work. She''s patient and calm, andpletely in her element. The only sounds that could be heard is from the work she is doing.


    "Now it''s upto her.” She steps back,

    I stumble from the kitchen, not quite believing that I had let her live.


    Dane’s hand catches mine, stopping me from going any further. “Talk to me Neah.”


    “There is nothing to say.


    “You were going to let her die.


    “I didn’t though, did 1?” The words sound so spiteful. “I... I helped.


    His hands move to my shoulders. “I wish you would talk ta me more.”


    “I do talk to you.”

    His crimson eyes bore into my own, making me feel small and seen


    I open my mouth to speak, but the words disappear into thin air like they were never supposed to be heard.
