A mate is Dying

Cameron and Steven fell on the ground as soon as the smoke released them and Malachi and Damien picked themselves up. Damien shook himself, freeing his furs of dirt and Snow finally put down her shield. 

Kieran's eyes stopped burning and returned to their natural midnight blue as he rushed Jacob who was holding an unconscious Rylee. 

He took her from Jacob and cradled her face and for the first time since that night, his face revealed warmth as he leaned over and kissed her forehead. 

However, he sensed something ruining his sweet reunion with her, a flicker of energy on his mating mark which was always a sign that a mate is dying. 

His eyes turned urgent immediately as he glanced at the sleeping girl and started shaking her to wake her up.

"Oh no," Snow screamed and rushed to them, "what have they done?" she picked Rylee's hand as she knelt beside her.
