The Alpha's Dark Revenge novel Chapter 83

Nikolai's POV

As I waited with my eyes shut for a final blow that never came, it all happened at once. One second Jonas was staring at something on the other side of the garden, the next he had slumped to the floor, blood gushing from the hole in his forehead. Still in shock, I stared at Jonas' unmoving body on the floor through my heavy lids, and then I looked to the other end of the garden. That's when I saw her. Liyah dropped the gun from her hand, racing towards me in a split second.

"Nikolai..." She breathed, placing a hand behind my head for support. "Drew and Annalise will be here soon, okay? I mindlinked them already. Just hold on..."

I smiled, feeling my busted lip ache, but I didn't care. Liyah was here...leaning over me and smoothening out my hair. She was here...she was alive.

And Jonas was dead.

It felt like a dream. Everything had happened so fast, I wasn't even sure it had happened. My chest was burning, and everything was beginning to get blurry. But that was okay.

Liyah was here. She was alive.

"Hold on for a while, okay? You'll be fine," Liyah whispered in my ear, kissing the only part of my face that wasn't bloody. As she continued to rub my arm, Drew and Anna emerged. They were at my side immediately.

"God, Nikolai. What happened?" They took one look and Jonas' corpse and the gun on the floor and I saw them exchange looks.

"Shit, you're losing a lot of blood. Let's get you home," Anna said, moving to my side as she and Drew prepared to lift me.

My eyes flew to Gabriel who lay covered in blood as he dangled off a whole. I raised my arm as much as my broken bones would permit, pointing toward his body. "Bring...bring him too," I managed to say.

"Who is he?" Drew asked, moving to the body. "Fuck, he looks pretty bad."

"I'm not quite sure either. But he saved my life. Twice."

At that Anna nodded. "Okay, I'll ask the guards to bring him along." I could only nod weakly. "I mindlinked some of the others back at the mansion. The car will be here in a few minutes, okay? Just hang on. It's over."

I held tighter onto Liyah's hand as my felt myself get weaker and weaker. But Anna was right.

It's over.
