The Beginning of The End
Chapter 53

Maddox walks into the room, his eyes landing on Suer first, then the unconscious Miya, and finally me, a glint of worry in hisbeyes. He brings a new face with him who follows him closely. "I brought the doctor."

I look tue doctor up and down, slowly climbing off the bed so that the black haired man could examine Miya, he was built much like Maddox, all muscle and strength. But something told me that he wasn't like the others, the way he gently moved parts of Miya's body as he looked over her spoke more than words ever could.

He was meant to heal, not kill.

But that didn't mean that i trusted him, so i stayed close, ready to destroy him if he tried to hurt her more than she already was. No one would ever hurt her again, not if i could stop it.

Maddox walks up behind me, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me back into his chest. "He will do what he can." He tells me softly, whispering in my ear. "Breathe little fae. Slow, deep breaths."

I bob my head once, trying to follow his words. But it felt impossible to catch my breath. My lungs wouldn't work, or maybe they couldn't. Watching the doctor as he used all wort sorts of instruments to check if my friend would live was fucking with me. It was a type of sick torture. I wanted her to survive so badly that i wasn't even thinking about what she might want.

She has done nothing but suffer since we arrived here, and i was busy fucking the monsters who hurt her.

What is wrong with me?

When did i become like this?

"Is she going to be ok?" i ask, trying to wriggle out of Maddox's arms.

He wasn't letting go, and whilst i hated it, i was also grateful. I didn't think my legs could handle my weight right now.

It felt like my whole world was collapsing, and it wasn't strong as it is.

I lost everything when the world ended, then again when i lost my dad.

Miya was the past one i have, she was thw only one i wanted around me.

The doctor had arass_green_eves the shade of a forrest in summer. He looked at me blankly, or rather past me.

He was looking at Maddox, pretending that i don't exist.

"She may die, but i am not certain she will." He says, eyes locked onto the hellhound king.

Maybe he hates fae as well, it seems to be a common occurance.

But i don't care about what he thinks of me, all i care about is that he heals my friend.

Maddox's chest vibrates against my back, "It wasn't me who asked the question. It was your Queen." He holds me tighter, eyes flashing with the presence of the beast. "Do not disrespect her again."

The doctor bows his head, "I am terribly sorry, my King." He turns to me, trying to hide the hatred in his eyes, but I see it anyway. "I will give the girl an injection of antibiotics, it will help her, but we won't know much else until she wakes up." He pauses, looking around the room. Clearly nervous. "If she wakes up."

My body launches into action before i can stop it, I rip myself from Maddox's arms and charge straight into the doctors stomach, knocking us both into the floor. I land on his chest, shaking with rage as i slam my fist into his face repeatedly.

I growl when someone comes up behind me, trying to pull me off him. I don't care

who it is, I throw them against the nearest wall with my power.

It was all their fault, Miya was dying because of THEM!

I'll fucking kill them all.

Every last one of them.

"Elora stop!" Someone shouts, my whole body going still at the command.

It was like someone had taken over my body and was pinning it beneath a great

strength. One that i couldn't fight, no matter how hard i tried.

I look down at the doctor, one of his eyes swollen shut, his nose at an odd angle whilst blood oozed out of it. Did i do that?

Arms wrap around my hips and pull me to my feet as i shake, but i am no longer trembling from rage. I am trembling from fear. Fear of who i was becoming.

"Breathe little fae." Came Ryker's voice, he was holding me tightly, so close that i could smell his alluring woodsy scent.

It was like a balm to my anger, and slowly breathing became easier again.

"I suggest you leave." Ryker tells the doctor, "But if the human dies, you will be held responsible and my Queen will be the least of your worries."

The doctor grabs his bag and rushes out of the room, Suer following close behind him, though with a slight limp. It must have been him that i launched into the wall.

I will have to apologise to him later, but right now, I had to deal with my mates, and neither of them were happy.

"I'm sorry." I begin, only to be met with two ferocious growls.

It is Ryker who speaks, "I leave you alone for two hours and you are attacking a doctor, care to explain?"

I sink into his arms, feeling exhausted and small. A part of me knows it was wrong, but

a larger part of me doesn't regret what i did.

He was going to give up on Miya before even trying to save her, all because she was human and i was a fae. He deserved what i did, and more.

"She was impressive." Maddox interjects, coming to stand in front of me. "He was bullshitting her because he didn't want to help the human." He looks down at me, pride in his eyes. "I would have done the same thing."

Ryker releases me, placing me onto the ground, though his arms were still close enough to catch me should i fall.

I was grateful for that.

Ryker watches me for several seconds, carefully contemplating. "You showed him that you were not to be messed with, you showed him the strength of his Queen." He rubs

a gently hand down my cheek, "I can't be mad at you for that."

"Thank you." I whisper, leaning back into his arms. "I know i shouldn't have, but I got so angry."

Maddox comes up behind me, locking me between them in a warm embrace. "You were protecting your friend." He says.

I have never felt as safe as I do right now locked between my mates. They will protect

me no matter what, and the realisation that they will support my decisions is comforting and also more powerful than anything they could have ever said.

Actions speak much louder than words.

Maybe i am being too hard on them because of what they are. Since i agreed to be

theirs they have done nothing but protect and cherish me.

And now they were helping me protect Miya. A human.

I could really see forever with them, and suddenly it doesn't look so bad.
