“Signs of mutation,” Alice said in a sorrowful tone. “He’s changing already.”
Peter slumped down on the small stool that sat beside the bed. Then, taking his head in his hands, he sobbed.
“There has to be a way to stop it,” Alice said. “To change him back. I’ll get the files.”
Alice hurried to the door.
“He’s already changing,” Peter said quietly. “We have given him the strongest treatments we can think of, and all we have done is slow the process, not stop it.”
Alice stopped and looked back at Peter.
“Yea, but we didn’t know what we were looking for or what was happening to him before,” Bell replied.
“And we do now?” he growled.
Bell looked away.
“No,” Alice said from the door, staring intently at Peter. “You can’t.”
Peter took a deep breath and let out another sob.
“See, even Alice admits it.”
“No,” Alice growled. “YOU can’t.”
Peter furrowed his brows; he looked up at her with his tear-stained face.
Alice stared back at him, her jaw was set, and her eyes bore into his soul with the cold gaze they held.
He swallowed.
“What?” Peter asked.
Alice took two slow steps toward Peter. Bell took small, soft breaths as she felt a thick tension growing in the air. She looked between the two of them.
“Leave,” Alice spat.
“What?!” Peter cried out, standing from the stool and staring back at her. “I’m not going anywhere!”
“I told you, Peter, not to give up on him. Yet here you are….”
“That’s not really fair, Alice,” Bell attempted to interject.
“Life’s not fair,” Alice growled, taking another two steps forward, her gaze becoming dangerous.
Peter growled.
“He is mutating before our eyes!” he shouted. “We know nothing of this process, how it works, or how long it takes. For all we know, he will be fully converted into one of those creatures within the hour!”
“I will not give up on him!” Alice snarled. “I will look through every document, every lab test, every disturbing experiment until I find anything that might help him!”
“We’ll help you,” Bell said, turning to Peter, “right?”
Peter clenched his jaw. He had spent every moment since he watched the light fading from Myka’s eyes, hoping, praying, and searching for a way to save him. But everything he found, everything they tried, had not been enough.
And now, they found out that they were facing off against the twisted science of Spring. The same people that had already made Myka’s childhood a nightmare. That had turned Alice into a doll for most of her life.
How could he hope to win against such an enemy?
“If you turn your back on him now,” Alice said in a low growl, “do not expect to be a part of his life when he recovers.”
Peter felt a firm and painful grip on his heart.
“If you would give up on him before his last breath, you do not deserve to be in his life, however long that may be.”
Peter looked away. He closed his eyes, and the tears wouldn’t stop.
He wanted to believe, and he wanted to have faith that they would be together again.
“Don’t make me choose between my sister and the man I love…” a soft, weak voice called to them all from the bed.
Peter gasped and looked down at Myka. His eyes were still closed but moving, fighting to open.
“Myka?” Peter asked, grabbing his hand gently.
Myka gave him a soft squeeze and opened his eyes just enough to see each other. He smiled.
“You crying for me?” Myka whispered playfully. “I’m honored.”
“Myka…” Alice called, approaching the bed and taking his other hand.
“Hey, big sister…” he smiled. “Do me a favor….”
“What is it?” she asked.
“Be honest, is this….” He began, licking his lips as he paused. “Have I begun my twilight journey?”
His voice cracked, and Alice clenched her jaw as she worked to hold back her emotions.
Alice smiled and leaned forward. She pet his hair gently and looked into his eyes.
“I’m not going to lie,” she whispered. “It’s not looking great right now. But I’m not ready to say we’re there yet.”
Myka smiled weakly.
“Would you ever be?” he asked.
Alice laughed and shook her head as a tear left her eye.
“No,” she whispered.
Myka nodded and looked back at Peter, who could not keep his expression from revealing exactly how frightened he was to lose Myka.
Myka smiled and squeezed Peter’s hand.
“I don’t want to miss out on a life with you,” he began. “But, if this is the end, I’m glad we got one night.”
Peter let out a sob as he sat down on the stool and moved closer to Myka. He nodded.
“Me too,” he whispered.
Myka closed his eyes for a moment, clenching his jaw and squeezing them tight, suppressing the pain he felt in his physical state and his heart.
“The truth is if this is the end for me… I have made my journey,” he smiled, opening his eyes and looking at Peter. “I was never going back to Spring. It wasn’t where I began.”
Myka’s entire focus was on Peter, and Peter felt it. He leaned closer, reaching out and moving a strand of blue hair from Myka’s eye.
“It was you, Peter,” Myka smiled brightly. “Meeting you was the beginning of real life for me. Before that, I was just…. Walking through this world, aimless and alone.”
Peter let out a heavy sob.
“Coming back to you now,” Myka continued. “It feels… right….”
Peter nodded.
“It is…” he whispered. “It is.”
Myka smiled weakly.
“Then can I… make a selfish request?”
His voice was getting wheezy and quiet. Peter felt the panic begin to settle over him again.
“Myka?” Alice called him. “Maybe you should rest…. you can talk to Peter later.”
“Please….” Myka whispered, his eyelids beginning to flutter.
“Myka…” Peter breathed with concern.
“Don’t give up on me yet….”
Myka’s voice fell away in a whisper as his eyes rolled back into his head, and his body went limp.
“Myka!” Peter shouted, grabbing his face between his hands. He jumped up from the stool.
The monitors around them began to cry out his distress as Myka went into convulsions.
“I know there are consequences to using your abilities in this world, but you are the one that said I needed him,” Selene stated, crossing her arms over her chest.
She was back in the blue void, staring down an ancient and powerful being.
“There has to be something you can do,” she continued. “You know this is because of Irina. Whether she made that monster or she controlled it, she did this to him.”
After Alice had dropped the phone, Selene called everyone she could in Winter to get better answers. She knew that Myka had been attacked, but she didn’t know about the infection until she spoke with Corrine.
When she finally reached Bell, she found out about the fae connection.
Selene couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. She had her mission, but if Myka was the key to finding the ley lines in Spring, he couldn’t die now. This infection endangered many other wolves, especially those she cared about most.
