บท 289: CHAPTER 289 Danger Part 1

　　~ CASIMIR ~

　　I was sucked back down into the depths, my skin feverish, my mind frantic with worry. But no matter how I fought, I couldn't get free of the prison of my body. Couldn't open my eyes, couldn't speak, couldn't move. I was trapped. Caged. And my wolf was losing its mind.

　　I tried to calm myself- aware enough to know that something had to have happened. That I hadn't just closed my eyes and woken up like this.

　　But what?

　　In the darkness, distant and echoing, I could hear voices. Particularly Maya's. But I couldn't figure out who she was talking to. The sounds and tones slipped away before I could gather them.

　　But I could feel my aunt- her fierce protectiveness, her indignant pride. Her singular focus. And her power.

　　She was in battle.

　　And growing weaker.

　　What the hell was happening?

　　"…one of them has to survive."

　　"But which one…"

　　Panic screamed through me and I fought until my heart thumped in my ears, but I couldn't move.
