Chapter 37
skrkkErika's POV#kRRk
We ran to my room, it was Paula and | doing the running, the doctor walked hastily behind us. | just hoped
nothing had happened to Kat. There had been so much blood. They had badly wounded her. Knowing Kat, | knew
she would have refused to back down.
Kat did not believe in running away from a fight. She was always willing to stand her ground and fight to the end,
even if it meant losing her life in the process. She had this belief that it was better for one to die honorably than
live as a coward.
Kat, you're not a coward, you should have ran from them. You should have not bothered fighting, or you should
have called for us. You should have ran to us and we'll would have fought it as one. Please Kat, stay strong, |
cried within as | said these words to myself.
Paula ran ahead and pushed open the door, it was empty. | followed behind and frowned. "Where's Kat?"
Paula was already out of the room. "Where's your brother?"
| increased my pace to meet up with her. "Let's go to his room."
I led the way, still running. | ran up the stairs. His room was on the floor below

mine. | was not one who liked climbing the stairs which was why | chose one of the rooms downstairs as mine.
Jace did not mind and chose his upstairs. | bounded up the long flight of stairs, leaping two steps at a go.
| met him halfway up. "Where's she?"
"In my room. Was coming to see..." | did not even let him finish, | ran past him and got to his room. It was very
big. Even bigger than mine some.
Lying on the king sized, four poster, dark themed bed was Kat. His bed was soaked with her blood. She had
passed out. Panic rose. "Doctor!"
"Right here, Your Highness." The man was just walking inside, he was breathless and looked tired from all the
running and step climbing. But that was not my concern right now.
"She has lost consciousness." | could not hide the panic in my voice.
Paula cane to holdclose, wrappingin a warm, comforting hug. And knowing she needed it too as Kat was
not just my best friend, but hers too, | held her too in comfort. We both comforted each other and watched as
the doctor tried to check her pulse.
"Is she going to be okay, doc?" Paula asked. | was too scared to, | did not want hear the doctor declare bad news
as he'd declared on my dad.
"Yes, but only if we act fast. She's lost a lot of blood, hence, the slip into unconsciousness. I'm going to have to
call sof my nurses to bring the things | need to help keep her stable, also, she'll need blood, lots of it. | have
sin the blood bank but we'll have to know which is suitable for her." He explained.
"Then what are you still waiting for? Make that call immediately!" | yelled, tears, sweat and snot were all over my
face.
"Calm down, Rika." Paula pulledcloser. "The doctor is doing his best."
"It's all my fault. It's because of me, they wantedbut they got her instead. I'll never forgive myself if
anything happens to her." | sobbed on Paula's shoulders.
She gently ledto one of the sofa in Jace's room. Another time, | might had admired his room as | always did
whenever | cto see him but not today. Today was a very ruthless day. So many things have been happening
today. First it was annulling my marriage and breaking my mate bond with Alexander, then the incident with
Serenity. Next was dad's poison episode, and then the argument with Jace that had led to what had happened to
Kat.
Something was going on and at this moment, my head was just too hot to carry it. My mind was too disordered
to think of anything. Kat had lost her parents when we were fifteen, it had been just her ever since and being an
only child, she had no other relative. Kat did not know her extended family. Her parents had moved in here, to
this pack just before she was born.
They had refused to tell her the true story behind their leaving their former pack to this one and being happy
here, Kat had not really bothered. She had been happy being best friends withand even when she turned an
orphan, she decided to chere often as she could not really bear the loneliness. Dad had to make sure she
was well provided for.

Took care of her until she becan adult. She knew this mansion like she owned it. She was my childhood best
friend, | could not let anything happen to her.
| looked to see just Jace standing close to the bed, his face read of many emotions - from pain to anger to regret
to sadness to torture and the list went on and on. He had caused this. This was all his fault.
The doctor cIn then with two nurses trailing behind, each handling one medical device or the other. He
quickly fixed the IV and made sure it was dripping into her veins. He took a scissors and tore her rib side that
was gushing with blood. | stood and went with shaky legs, Paula tried to pullaway but | would not allow it.
"Remember you can not stand the sight of blood." She reminded me.
"I have to go see. To make sure Kat is fine."
She pulledback. "Kat will be fine. She's in capable hands."
| halted and squeezed Paula's hand tight. | did not want to seat while my best friend was receiving treatment. "I
need to know who did this, P. | need to fish them
out."
"But you have to be careful, Rika. From the look of things, whoever that's behind
is might also be behind your father's current predicament. This is not a fight, Rika. This person is ready to kill. We
just need to know why."
