Chapter 135: Chapter 135: King

I pace outside Axel’s office while he treats Marinah. He kicked me out and blocked the door an hour ago.

Mate, Beast rumbles.

I glance at the door in anger, deciding if I should break it down or not. I’m sitting in the infirmary while medical teams work on Warriors and islanders. I should care but my focus is Marinah.

Earlier, when the fighting stopped, Marinah held her Nova form and didn’t revert to her Beast. I approached her slowly. It took a few minutes before she stopped ripping the soldiers apart. I saw when awareness entered her eyes. She had no idea what she’d done. A moment later, she toppled over. I thought she would change form, but it never happened. There was so much blood from the soldiers she killed, it took a few minutes to figure out she’d been shot. I rushed her to Axel’s infirmary. Before throwing me from the room, he found two bullet wounds, one in her shoulder, one in her side, and an additional knife puncture in her other side.
