Chapter 19


    Elune


    Saphira’s POV. “DO WE STILL NEED HIM?” Wait, did I


    say that? I tried to turn my head but I couldn’t. I tried to talk, but my mouth wasn’t moving even


    though I could hear myself speak. “Can anyone hear me?” I yelled. “Yes, Saphira, I can hear you.”


    The voice sounded familiar, it was the same voice I had heard periodically throughout my entire life.


    “Who are you?” I asked. “Where are you?”. “My name is Elune, and I am your Wolf” “My WHAT?” I


    could hear herugh “Do not worry, I am finally free, and I will exin it all to you, I promise. But I


    need to take care of a thorn in my side first.” I watched as my head turned to look at my Uncle. It


    was almost like I was watching a movie. Or like a dream. “What do you mean a thorn in your side?”


    I asked. He has had control of us long enough, and tonight that ends. Brace yourself Saphira. This


    is going to hurt a bit.” I was about to ask her what she meant when I heard the first bone c r a c k.


    The pain that followed was excruciating. I screamed, but only Elune could hear me. I watched as we


    landed on the ground and sprinted towards my Uncle. I could feel my body moving and felt when we


    made contact with my Uncle, but I had no control over any of my movements. I was all over quickly,


    and thest thing I remembered was dropping my Uncle’s head on the ground and watching it roll


    away. I was filled with so many emotions that I barely noticed that Elune was talking to me again.


    “Saphira are you listening?” “Sorry, yes I am now. What were you saying” “I was saying that it is


    time for me to let you regain control and shift back. It is going to hurt. The first time always does.


    Our mate can help ease the pain through contact. If at all possible, allow him to hold us. It will help.


    I have been able to chat with his wolf, and they both understand what needs to be done. I know it is


    hard for you to trust anyone, especially a man, but please believe me when I say we are safe with


    Ren and his family. Remember,


    I am always here, and now that I am free will never leave you. I promise to answer any and all of


    your questions once we have shifted back and you have rested.” “OK” was all I could get out before


    I began to shift once more. I screamed and began to cry this time; the others in the room could hear


    me. It only took mere seconds before Ren had pulled me into his arms. I can’t lie; the warming


    feeling for his body against mine did make the pain better. He picked me up and headed up theProperty of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    stairs. “Wait.” I said. “I need to get my things.” “Do not worry, I gave your stuff to Dante.


    It will be waiting in the car for you.” He carried me out of the office building and headed towards the


    packhouse. “Let’s get you a change of clothes and a warm bath; it will help with the aching.” He


    said. He took me back to the room I had woken up in earlier this morning. He sat me down on the


    bed and kissed my head. “I am going to go and run you a bath wait right here.” He smiled at me and


    gently brushed the hair out of my face. Once he broke contact with me, my body. erupted into what


    felt like fire. I hurt so bad it almost took my breath away. I gasped for air, but even the air felt like


    lava. I could feel hot tears running down my face. Nothing I did made it better. Every movement felt


    like I was going to break. It was hurting so much I didn’t notice Ren came back into the room. As


    soon as his eyes met mine, he was beside me. “Sweetheart, will you let me pick you back up?” I


    nodded my head yes and almost threw myself at him. “Shh, I have youe. Let’s get you in a hot


    bath.”
