Alex's POV
I stood there, shocked. What did he just say?! What does he mean we can't save my mate?! Sighing, I picked them both up off the floor and placed them into a bed. Moon got a pained look on her face before she shifted back. Her wolf seemed okay but, she wasn't. I looked over her nude body, admiring her every curve.
'How badly I need her, now!' Sam yelled.
I stopped myself but, not before I ran my hand down her side. She shifted slightly, wincing in pain as my hand touched the wolf-bane-affected area. I could feel her pain a bit, through our bond.
"Sorry beautiful," I whispered under my breath.
The wolf-bane had now spread through her entire leg. I rushed over to Sun and shook him a bit. We needed to help her quickly. He woke up with a start.
"Sorry, Alex," he said, drowsy and clearly in pain.
"Why did you pass out," I asked, sitting next to him on the bed, keeping my eyes on Moon. You could watch the Wolfbane slowly creep down her leg. He sighed, drawing my attention back to him as he explained.
"Before our parents died, I made a promise to them. I promised I would protect Moon with my life. We had always been close and had a special bond. I can feel her pain and she can feel mine. After I said that, Moon was attacked. I felt every blow. I knew then, why I was connected to her. I was her guardian"
He had a pained look on his face as he glanced at Moon. I had only read stories about guardians. They are super rare.
"So what are you to Moon exactly," I asked, worried they were together. Guardians are usually together with who they are guarding. It helps keep them together.
"I am her older brother, Sunlight Jones. Everyone called me Sun, though." I sighed in relief.
"What's moons full name. Since she's my mate and all," I asked cautiously, not wanting to push him.
"Moonlight Jones," he responded.
Wow, beautiful name, gorgeous body. We both looked over at Moon, worried about what was to come next.
