Chapter 176 - Against Each Other
The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, landing over Fang. He had helped support me from getting injured as I struggled with my consciousness. I tried using my abilities, but it was only doing enough to keep my eyes open. No matter how much I healed, I could not replenish the amount of lost blood. "Sam..." I telecommunicated again.
Fang let me sleep on the ground and nuzzled his nose against my forehead, "We will save Sam, stay a little longer. Let us bring him to you."
"No... he is-"
"Selene," I heard Suzan's voice, and I slowly moved my head on the ground to see her, "Please rest, I will bring him here safely."
Fang signalled Suzan, and they sped off in the direction where Suzan was leading.
"No...he won't survive..." I kept telecommunication, but they were long gone. Till I next knew, Channing had come to my side and along with him was Dandeline. I did not even have the strength to ask about Elaine right now.
"Beta, are you okay!" Dandeline was quick to duck down place her hand on my head. She could sense the problem without the need of anyone's assistance.
Channing placed his hand on my heaving chest because I had been breathing heavily right now. Since I started feeling like I was about to fall unconscious, I kept using my ability to push through and my paws were sweating. I was switching back and forth in the conscious state and my heart beat had trying to push through with the amount of blood I had in my body.
"What is happening to her?" Channing asked Dandeline.
Dandeline shook her head as she caressed my head, trying to get my state back to normal without the need of her ability, but she needed some quiet around her where Channing was rather asking her question, "She lost much blood, let me try to get her back to conscious state."
"She is not conscious?" Channing asked in a confused tone as he could clearly see I was blinking.
Dandeline tsked, "Please be quiet, Alpha Channing, so I can concentrate." Her tone was panicked, laced with sternness. Dandeline had always been selective towards my needs and sometime she would side too strongly with me when she would forget that she was a maid. I liked that part better.
It took some time for Dandeline to complete what she was doing, and my consciousness returned to me. With that, I quickly stood up, but my feet wobbled before I thudded back on the ground.
"Madam, please," Dandeline called out to me as she concernedly said, "I could only keep your mental state in check; you are still weak."
Luckily, I was being able to retain my wolf's form even after so much loss of blood because it was getting increasingly tough to keeping on healing and did not want to turn back to my human self. If that happened, I would not be able to use my abilities. It only made me realise how untrained my abilities were. In attempt of caution from my mother, I had kept my abilities low, and I always used to believe that was the very reason why my human form lost the healing.
From a distance, I could see Fang and Suzan coming back when Channing rushed to them to help them carry Sam here.
I looked at Dandeline and telecommunicated only to her, "Make sure Suzan and Sam forget."
"Yes Princess," Dandeline whispered the words as if she had been waiting to say them for a long time, but she had held back. When Sam was brought closer with a t-shirt wrapped around his neck, I could see he was already out. My teeth gritted with frustration. I could not lose him. Arina could not lose him. They were about to be declared a couple tomorrow.
I tried to get up but my body was too weak to let me even keep my head up, "Dandeline, help him fast."
"Yes, Beta," Dandeline took in the order and removed the dagger from her pocket that she had been using to cut near my wrist for a long time. She knew very well how important these people were to me and so she did not speak a word about trying to stop me in my state.
Rather, she cut open a wound just like before and let the blood drip onto the cup of her palm and then carried it to drizzle it down into Sam's mouth.
I activated my abilities, but my own wounds healed slower than before.
"Why isn't it working?" I panicked as I tried to heal again, but my wound was still open and slowly healing. "No, Sam needs more blood. Dandeline, give him more blood." The pace at which my small wounds were healing only had me worried about the bigger wounds on Sam.
Channing was the first to speak, "No, this is enough. We can't lose you both. I have already called an ambulance here."
For Sam to survive the entire ride was not possible, "But Sam-"
Channing cut my sentence midway, "He still has a faint heartbeat, I can hear him. You shouldn't spend too much, Selene." His voice carried a kind of concern that a person more than a friend would do for me.
Dandeline did not dare to speak. She had gone to Suzan and was making her forget and go back to sleep.
Fang butted in between quickly, "Let her try Channing, we can give her blood later."
"No, she is already being awake on Dandeline's abilities," Channing reacted and the two boys went up against each other. I did not understand where Fang's protective side had gone now when he was rather fighting for me to risk low blood in my body.
Fang growled and stood tall on Channing. His wolf stood at six feet with the daunting aura, "I don't care whether or not you care about this man, but Selene cares and if she is confident, she is going to try and save him."
"Are you really willing to put your soulmate through danger?" Channing retaliated. He was no Omega to succumb to Fang's intimidation.
"Dandeline," Fang called out to my maid, and I could tell she was avoiding trying to confront this topic. She secretly wished everyone talked about trying to save me instead of Sam, because she could not dare speak above my orders to her. When Fang called out to her, she hoped he was going to ask to protect me instead. But when Fang telecommunicated, he spoke, "Do what is asked of you. I will see who tries to stop Selene." It was an underlying threat to Channing.
This sudden turn of events baffled Channing. It was like he had never expected to go against Fang, and right now, Fang stood against him. I did not know why Fang had taken my side, but I was more than grateful for it.
Dandeline did what was asked of her with a heavy heart and hesitant moments.
"Be quick Dandeline," I grunted at her as she made another cut over the previous one and I whimpered lowly. She dripped the blood into Sam's mouth and waited for me to heal.
I closed my eyes, concentrating on it completely, Dear Goddess Luna.... Please be with me.
