The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 707

I doubted his healing capacity would set in, so I supported him to help him get to the Estate.

"Are you sure about this," Devin said, trying to breathe. He did not look good at all. He looked very pale, and I knew he could die if we lingered in the cave.

"I need you to hang in there, Devin. There is still much for us to do together. Remember you said we are on the winning team? Remember Susan," I asked him, and he nodded. I could see that he knew the severity of his situation.

I made him hang his hand over my shoulder, and we headed out.

I tried to move as fast as possible.

I would have carried him if he had been smaller, but this would have to do.

Our phones had been blown up with the car, and I wasn't part of Sylvester's pack, so I couldn't link anyone.

"Please hang in there, Devin," I said, my voice breaking for the first time. Because I knew the Estate was still a bit far from us on foot.

"Shift so I can carry him," Black said in my head.

Devin was big, but I was sure my wolf was big enough to manage.

I stopped and looked at Devin. His eyes were closing.

"I am going to shift, and I need you to lay on my back so I can run," I said, and he nodded slowly.

His lips were dry, and I knew he was dehydrated, but there was no water. I did not bother to take off my clothes. Every second counted.

I shifted immediately, and Devin managed to lie on my back.

He weighed a lot, but the fear of losing him gave me the strength I needed to push.

I began to sprint towards the Estate.

While I ran, my heart was in my mouth. I prayed to the goddess to give me strength and give Devin time. I prayed for speed and pushed with all my might. I hoped Vino and the other Kappa were safe. I hope Vino was fast enough to move close enough to get help.

My legs moved quickly, and everything was a blur.

All I could think of was getting to the Estate. I ran for about forty minutes and decided to get on the road.

It was the fastest route to the Estate.

It would take me another forty minutes if I continued in the woods, but if I used the road, I would get there in twenty minutes. Every minute counted, and we had used forty already. I decided to take my chances on the road.

Devin wasn't moving on my back anymore, and I became scared.

I pushed myself harder, not giving up hope, trying to make twenty into fifteen minutes.

I was still running when I saw headlamps.

It was a van.

I ran to the middle of the road, not caring who it was. The driver hit the brakes, and the tyres screeched against the tarred road. I could smell burnt rubber, but it was the least of my concerns.

"Leo!" I heard Vino and Marcel's voice.

Vino had gotten close enough to link someone, and Marcel had sprung into action. I was glad, but I wasn't at ease. Devin's fate was unknown.

They came to help put Devin in the van. I shifted back quickly, and they turned the vehicle around to head to the Estate.

Going to the hospital would be suicide because those snippers might still be on that road.

I looked at Devin beside me at the back. He was already unconscious. I felt for his pulse, and it was faint. Tears streamed down my cheeks; profound fear was in my heart, and I kept telling him, 'Just a little longer,' even though I knew he could not hear me.

It wasn't long ago that we were talking in the car about winning and getting Yuri. It wasn't long ago that he had smiled at me. I wiped away my tears, afraid I would lose my friend.

"How is he doing?" Vino asked me with a shaky voice.

"His pulse is faint," I said, and Marcel floored the accelerator.

We were at the Estate gate in no time. The gate was open wide, and Marcel drove in and headed to the Entrance. Erik, Claudia, Linda, and Amelia were waiting.

I saw Claudia with an epinephrine pen, and the first thing she did when we arrived and brought him out of the van was feel for his pulse and then hit the pen on his thigh. She held it there and counted while the pen clicked.

Soon I saw his chest rise and collapse, making his breathing regular again, but I knew it was temporary until the issue was fixed.

"Carry him to the infirmary; run a line. We need to flush out whatever they put into him," I heard Claudia say. Her voice and hands were shaking. She was afraid, but she composed herself.

Amelia ran towards me and hugged me. She was afraid and shaking. I tried to find Susan.

"Where is Sue?" I asked.

"She fainted," Amelia said, and that was when I knew she was crying. I looked into her swollen eyes.

"I am here, Moonlight. I am fine," I said, and she nodded and buried her head in my chest. We had indeed just had a close call.
