chapter 160 Fifty-Eight


    Evelyn’s POV


    The next week went by quickly, I was starting to feel more like myself. The herbs Amara gave me


    helped but so did drinking both Orion’s and Rnd’s blood. Though Rnd’s I craved, and I sometimes


    needed help to stop. Rnd didn’t seem to mind but I could tell everyone was worried about what


    would happen when the baby was to arrive. Honestly, I was petrified of dying too, yet more petrified of


    did and each time it scared me more, to the point I have now stopped asking.


    Amara seems to think I don’t have long left, so today Thaddeus and Orion were heading into the


    city to get some things. Rnd made the baby a crib by hand took him three days before he would


    even allow me in the shed to see it. Imogen brought over some of Amara’s and Thaddeus’s old baby


    stuff that she hung onto and we had made a baby room up next to our room, though we all agreed, the


    baby will remain in her bas in our room till she slept through the night. We still hadn’te up with


    any baby girl names yet even though every night they scoured over baby name books trying to find one


    they liked. I didn’t care what they named her, I was dreading the time I actually went intobour, I was


    quite content with her remaining in my belly, too scared for her toe out though, I was so big now I


    was also ufortable.


    Walking downstairs I go into the kitchen where Thaddeus was making lunch. He puts a te on


    the bench for me with a sd sandwich on it.


    “Mayo?” I ask and he nods.


    “Yes, and barbeque sauce” he says knowing my strange sd craving. I take a bite, and he hands


    Rnd one without the barbeque sauce as he takes a seat beside me.


    “Orion and I will head into the city soon; you will be right here with Rnd?” he asks. I nod


    chewing my sandwich. Thaddeus kisses my head and Orion walks into the kitchen leaning on the door.


    “Ring us if you need us,” he says to Rnd and Rnd salutes him. Iugh but Orion rolls his


    eyes before walking in and kissing my head and Rnd’s.


    “We better leave. I don’t like her being here of a night with only one of us,” Thaddeus says


    grabbing a bag and tossing it over his shoulder.


    “She will be fine, just go,” Rnd says waving them off. They both leave but not before sending


    me nervous nces, I felt good, yet I had this nagging feeling in the back of my head, like they


    shouldn’t go, that something bad was going to happen. Ignoring it, I finished my sandwich.


    “What’s wrong?” Rnd asks after they leave.


    “Nothing think I am just getting nervous,” I tell him.


    “That’s understandable,” he says grabbing my empty te.


    “Come on, we will watch a movie” he says holding his hand out to me. I let him lead me to


    loungeroom and we watch a movie. After the second movie, I hear the pitter patter of rain on the roof


    and jump up, running for theundry.


    Rnd jumps up rmed. “What is it?” he asks following me.


    “The washing is on the line.”


    “Leave it, we will getter” He argues but I ignore him, grabbing the basket and rushing out the


    door to the clothesline. I start pulling the clothes off the line, looking nervously to the sky that was


    darkening as night begun to fall, storm clouds moving across the sky when I see lightning.


    “Just leave it Evelyn, you and your nesting is driving me nuts” he says but helps to drag the clothes


    off. We end leaving half of them as they became too wet and Rnd runs the baskets back inside while


    I waddle toward the house, my clothes damp and sticking to me as I shiver from the rain.


    Rnd walks out when I hear a loud rm noise suddenly go off, making me look toward the


    house when suddenly Rnd runs at me.


    I stood there shocked for a second wondering what he was doing when his body suddenlynds


    on me, knocking me to the ground on the wet grass. He makes a gurgled noise before I feel something


    hit him, knocking the air out his lungs. Rnd rolls off me, and a sharp pain radiates through my


    stomach making me scream. Rnd tries to get up when I realise, he is covered in little red dots. My


    eyes snapping to our surroundings but not able to see anything. When Rnd voice chokes out.


    “Run” He chokes coughing up blood, he pulls on my arm sitting me up and I could hear people


    running through the trees and the dirt driveway. He stands up, and I see his shirt is soaked with blood,


    his pain radiating into me through the bond, and I don’t understand how he is able to force himself up.


    “Rnd!” I squeal pressing my hand on his wound trying to stem the bleeding.


    “Run, now Evelyn” He screams just as I hear guns start going off everywhere. Rnd shoves me


    and I hear the bullets whiz past me as I stumble before I get up and run, running for the tree line of the


    forest. I hear Rnd groan loudly before hearing a ferocious growl ring out, echoing off the trees. I


    don’t dare look back instead concentrate on running without falling. My hand trying to hold my belly as I


    moved, pain running through my stomach and groin with each step.


    I see the tree line getting closer, can hear people yelling and screaming when I feel it. Feel like I


    have been punched in the shoulder. Ignoring the pain, I keep running when I feel my muscles go funny,


    my body bing weaker and I feel something hit me again this time in the lower back making me


    gasp, as I clutch at it. My handing in contact with something, and I pull it out looking at it. I could


    feel my surrounding bing a blur of green, as I stare at the dart I just pulled out of my back. The


    dart slipping from my fingers and I see the ground rush toward my face.


    My entire body going numb, and I felt my limbs be heavy before I hear voices, the voices


    getting closer and closer until they sound like they are right on top of me.


    “Got her, bring the other one” I hear a deep male voice call out. I try to open my eyes, yet they feel


    too heavy, even breathing felt hard as I fought to take each breath. I feel movement, my head rolling


    back as someone grabs me.


    “Rnd,” I breathe. Trying to talk but the wordse out slurred and muffled.


    “Hurry we need to get back before their mates get back here.”

    I feel the darkness creeping in, ck swallowing my consciousness as I slip into oblivion.


    Waking up, I find myself on the ground. The cold concrete floor making my limbs ache. Sitting up,


    my eyes were blurry, and I could smell a strong smell that reminded me of chlorine. Looking around, I


    gasp when I see Rnd braced to a wall by cuffs holding his arms to the wall. His body slumped over,


    and I could see blood pooling around him. I roll onto all fours trying to crawl my way over to him. Each


    movement sending searing pain across my stomach that takes my breath.


    “Rnd” I stammer trying to breathe through the overwhelming pain. I was weak, so weak, I had to


    “Rnd” I ask again, my voice cracking and sore as I try to speak. I hear him groan and I turn my


    head to see him move, his head before he suddenly starts jerking his arms trying to free himself, the


    braces not budging. I notice his wrists bleeding and I can’t help the sob that leaves my lips at seeing


    him so badly injured.


    “Silver” he mutters, his eyes going to me.


    “Don’t cry, I am fine” he says though I could clearly feel he wasn’t fine through the bond. His pain


    radiating into me with my own. He looks around the room before coughing. Blood spraying out of his


    mouth onto the floor and his breathing wheezes when I notice the wound on his chest pouring with


    blood.


    “You’re not healing” I tell him, and he coughs.


    “Don’t worry about me, can you get over to me” He sputters out, blood dribbling down his chin. I try


    to get up, falling face first into the concrete, my limbs feeling like jelly but I after a few attempts I


    managed to crawl over to him putting my head on hisp, when I felt it. My legs bing saturated,


    and I feel like I wet myself.


    “No, no not now” I cry. Rnd looks down at me before he gasps.


    “Shit your waters have broken” He coughs out before trying to get his arms free but failing.


    He starts screaming out for someone. Screaming trying to get their attention when I hear footsteps


    on the ground behind the steel door. Pain moving across my abdomen, so sharp my body jerks when I


    feel my insides tearing and I let out a bloodcurdling scream of agony. Rnd screaming out when the


    door suddenly opens.


    “Help her, she inbour. You need to let me out or she will die.”


    “Nice try, Lycan,” says a voice but I was lost to the pain, not able to concentrate on anything but


    the agony I was in. I feel someone grabbing my arms and legs. I writhe in pain as the pain rushes


    throughout my body when I hear a sickening crack, my ribs breaking, and I scream as I feel her move


    within me.


    “Get her to the infirmary now,” I hear an unfamiliar female voice call out before I am ced on


    something cold and hard.
