Chapter 0150

I place my hand on her head, brushing my fingers through her hair.

Wake up, Valerie… Please wake up.

I stare down at her, wishing she’d wake up.

Come on…

Sebastian heals fast… because he’s in touch with his wolf… I wish she was too.

I sit down on the edge of the bed, taking her hand in mine, my other hand still resting on her head.

“If you can hear me, Valerie, wake up. Call upon your wolf. She is a part of you. She can and will help

you heal. Come on, Valerie… fight this slumber, wake up.” I whisper urgently.

Come on!

My own eyes are blazing orange, and I can feel my aura almost physically around me, my frustration

growing.

I want her to get better!

The beeping quickens and I glance up at the machine, seeing her brain activity pick up.

My heart sk ips a beat as I look down at her, frowning deeply as my heart races.

She can do it!

“Valerie. Wake up.” My aura surges, my voice deeper and stronger. Wake up. Now! Fight it!”

The machine begins beeping faster as her eyes twitch and her heart

pounds. “Wake up. Valerie, you can do it. Channel your wolf! She is within you! Ready to break free if

you let her! She is the power you need to break free from this slumber! Rise!”

The door flies open.

“Ma’am please!”

“Fight it, Valerie, wake up!” I shout, ignoring the commotion around

me.

They’re all trying to get close, but I don’t care as I hold on to Valerie, wishing I can give her my

strength.

“In the name of Selene, wake up!”

-My own heart is raging, the machine’s beep becoming an incessant ringing in my ears.

Her eyes fly open, gasping as she scans the room before her eyes find me, her heart thundering

violently.

“Valerie…” I whisper.

She grabs my hand weakly, yet with clear panic as she opens her mouth. Nothing comes out and a

nurse instantly runs to grab water.

I take it from her, helping pour a small amount into her mouth.

She clears her throat weakly.

“Run. Run. He’s coming… Run.” She whispers h oarsely, her words

choked and raspy as her nails dig into my hand.

She’s terrified, and I can see that clearly in her eyes.

“Hush, you’re ok, you’re safe. It’s going to be OK,” I whisper, wrapping my arms around her, my heart

hammering as I hold her close.

She’s awake.

Valerie has woken up!

1 can’t help but smile, feeling so relieved.

Thank Selene!

“No… no. no. no.” Her breathing is becoming rapid and uneven.

“She needs to rest.”

“She’s having a panic attack!”

The nurses begin panicking, but Valerie refuses to let go of me.

“Let me calm her!” I shout as I caress her back, motioning them all to move back and give us space.

“Calm down, Val… I’m here… no one can hurt you.” I promise softly. “No, listen to me, run, he’s going

to kill us! He’ll kill us!”

“Who?” I whisper, cupping her face.

She’s scaring me.

Is that night replaying in her mind?

She opens her mouth when the sound of footsteps approaching only makes her turn in fear.

Mom and Jai enter the room, both of them wide-eyed as they take in the scene before them.

“Val…” Jai says as he stops at the door, his heart pounding as he stares at her as if he can’t believe his

eyes.

She looks back at him, almost as if she’s struggling to recognise him.

“Is she ok?” he whispers; his eyes shine with emotions but it’s obvious he’s trying to control them.

I nod, as she looks between us and scans the room.

“She was just about to say something important,” I say, smiling down.

at her.

“What is it, Valerie?” Mom asks with concern as she walks over.

“Wait, do you know who attacked you?” Jai asks as he drops to his knees beside the bed, almost

reaching for her, but she moves away. A flash of hurt crosses his eyes as she looks between the three

of us and, to my surprise, she forces a smile.

Her eyes meet mine, her heart still racing as she speaks once again, her smile faltering.

“I don’t…I don’t remember anything.”
