Chapter 0196
"Silver!" It's over!" Charlotte cried. "You did it! You defeated Scott; his spell had been lifted!"
That seemed to have brought me back to the current moment; I stopped stabbing Scott, and I let out a cry that I had never heard myself make before. Charlotte wrapped her arms around me and pulled me away from Scott's blood-soaked body. I had his blood all over me as well and the dagger still in my shaky hands. Charlotte managed to pry the dagger out of my hands and turned me around to face her. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her lip was quivering.
"Please..." she whispered. "Come back to us. Elliot needs you, Silver."
I blinked a few times; her face coming into my view. I took a shaky breath as I looked down at my brother. He was past the point of death. There were a ton of rogues surrounding us that were dead; many that I recognized.
The pack's gammas that were in the area had their regular scents back and they lay inured and disoriented. Some of the packmates were dead and my heart broke for them and their families.
Leo lay on the ground covered in his own blood; he was struggling to breathe but he was alive. I knew his wolf would heal him, but he needed medical attention as well. Luca lay at a distance; he was in better shape and trying to patch up his leg which looked broken, but he was alive too.
Surrounding them were different colors of glow; I was surprised that I was able to see their scents so clearly and it didn't hurt at all.
Everyone had a different color glow around them. I could see all their scents.
"T... the packhouse," I whispered, remembering that Scott told some of his rogues to storm the packhouse and Kill Charlotte. "They didn't make it there?"
"I mindlinked some of my warriors to go there and protect Charlotte," Luca explained.
"I was able to escape before any rogues got there. Those in the packhouse are safe," Charlotte explained.
I let out a breath of relief.
Then, my eyes found Elliot's. He was lying limp on the ground, and he was barely breathing.
My heart shattered and I quickly scrambled over to him, pulling myself out of Charlotte's arms let
out a sob as I found my
"Elliot...no..." I cried as I fell on top of him.
His breathing was unstable, and tears ran down my cheeks.
"Please... don't leave me..." I

whispered. The cut on his chest was turning black and I could see black veins forming around the wound and across his chest. I pressed my fingers to it. "Please..." I croaked.

"Nooo! You shouldn't be alive!" I heard a familiar voice saying from nearby.
I looked up to see Shirley running towards me, fury on her face. She
looked as if she just got into a pretty
bad fight, but she still had the gun in her hands.
"Silver! Look out!" I heard Luca screaming.
I heard the gunshot and then the pain in my chest, but that was the last thing I remembered before everything went completely black.
