The back door closed behind them and Jabari turned to me. “Go back to the car,” he said, starting forward.
You You are going after them?” I asked.
“I’d be stupid to let him take her.”
“But he could hurt her He didn’t wait for me to finish. He raced after them.
I paced the house, thinking of what to do. I decided to follow after Jabari, my heart in my throat. By the time I made it to them, Lucien was surrounded by a squad of warriors.
“Tell them to let me go else she’s gone.” His voice was shaky and I saw fear in his eyes. He hadn’t finished speaking when we heard a shot. I looked, horror-struck. Someone had shot his shoulder. He stumbled backward and Celeste wrenched out of his grip but he’d cut her. It wasn’t a deep cut but b***d beaded her throat.
“You bastard -“I ran to my friend while Jabari charged Lucien. I caught up with Celeste just as her legs gave out, releasing her full weight on me as she fainted.
Jabari tackled Lucien to the ground, slamming his head into the ground. There was a loud crack that gave him pause, his hand freezing in mid-air.
“Well sh!t,” he muttered as b***d started to sip out from underneath Lucien’s head.
I swallowed down bile.
Celeste kept throwing up. We had to stop twice on our way for her to throw up. Her complexion had turned pasty with her face turning an ugly green colour.
I hadn’t seen Jabari since we got home. He’d excused himself once we got into the house. I could sense him around the premises but he hadn’t come close to the part of the house Celeste and I were in.
I shot Valens a quick text to tell him we’d gotten home but I still hadn’t received a reply after more than an hour. By now, I expected he knew what happened but he still hadn’t reached out to me.
“I’ll make you a cup of mint tea,” I said to Celeste, patting her clasped hands as I left the room. She didn’t say anything in reply, rocking herself back and forth.
I met Jabari in the kitchen when I went in. He was running his head underneath the faucet.
He raised his head when I walked in and I was taken aback by the redness of his eyes.
“I killed her brother.” His voice was a hoarse whisper when he spoke. He cleared his throat and shook his head, sending water flying around the kitchen.
“We don’t know he is dead yet,” I said, grabbing a cup.
The warriors who had come looking for Lucien took him away once Jabari got off him. While I knew the chances of them taking him to the hospital were slim, I still wanted to believe something else.
“He is. I smashed his head against a rock.” He looked like he was about to throw up. “I hate that bastard so much but now now whatever chance I had with her is gone.”
“Don’t think like that.” I placed a hand on his left arm. His hands were shaking. He was shaking; literally vibrating from head to toe. “It was either her or him,” I reminded.
I’d say there was no love lost between Lucien and Celeste but I would be a liar to talk like that. Celeste loved her brother. He had fallen so far from who he once was but he was still her brother. She always refused to see the worst in him because of that. He protected her and loved her. Would the way she saw him change now that he had almost killed her? It was yet to be known.
Jabari had insisted on bringing her here instead of taking her to the hospital after she fainted.
She woke halfway through the journey, almost flying out of the moving vehicle to throw up.
The cut on her throat was mostly healed when she woke up but her eyes had become vacant and she’d hugged herself while rocking. She was still rocking herself over an hour later.
“I killed her brother. I am a monster.” He pushed a hand into his wet hair, flicking some more water around the kitchen.
You are not a monster. Maybe follow up with what happened to him. I’d like to know if he if he is dead.” I swallowed down bile as I uttered that sentence. My stomach churned and it felt as if my breakfast was about to come back up.
There is no chance he is still alive. I split his head open.” He looked down at his hands and I found it hard to reconcile the Jabari I knew with the one standing before me.
Jabari was acting as if he’d never taken a life and while I understood his fear, my mind was scrambled, my thoughts scattered. My mate was out there, my childhood friend/ enemy was likely dead and my best friend was in shock. I had no update on Skylar and the last thing I wanted was to be kept locked up at home.
“Call the hospital and tell Valens to reach me.”
I took Celeste’s tea and walked out of the kitchen. She was no longer rocking herself when I came in. She was staring straight at a wall and the sight was frightening
“Here.”I stretched out the teacup to her but she didn’t flinch, continuing to stare, unblinking. “I l just leave it here.” I placed the cup on the table and took a seat beside her.
Rubbing my palms on my th!ghs. “How are you feeling?” l asked but as expected, I received no response.
I heard a knock on the door and scented Levana as she poked her head into the room.
“Can I speak with you for a second?” She looked worried so I nodded, patting Celeste’s hand again as I left.
“What’s up?” I asked once I closed the door behind me.
“I have to get home.” She looked really worried and I feared something had happened to her mate.
“What happened?” I asked, heart in my throat.
