A sob locks into my throat as my eyes graze over her emaciated form. Her normally golde sunken in, her lips blue. The only splash of code ember at all are the crescent shaped bite mas i along her collarbone and they are ugly, putrid green with little black veins that word out around them. Poison in her Hood. Her chest is barely moving, the only 1 is bewathing coming from the wheeze of her lungs. She looks… dead
“At first, she was hot. Baking with fever, but now…” Kods whispers, “She’s so cold

I’m trying to be strong, I really am, but it’s too much. Tears fall at a rapid rate from my eyes and try as I might I cannot stop the know how I manage to keep myself from screaming, but I do. The moment I step forward and take one of her hands in mine, I Seed pulsing in her limbs. Like a vibration in her blood and I know right away that is the venom eating her alive. She is my friend Mine! is loyal and sweet and doesnt deserve to be lying here dying. Somewhere in my brain, a memory nags at me. Like a whisper from beyond, a voice that begs me to see the truth. Telling me to see the cure that is standing right in front of me Insisting that there is one way to save her. One way for her to houl. It’s then that I remember the night that Domonic marked me and how every little inju had disappeared by morning.
1 turn toward Koda, “You have to mark her and you have to do it now.”
His jaw clenches, his eyebrows furrowing. “I can’t do that! It will kill her. He turns to Benjamin. “Won’t it?”
Benjamin sighs, stepping into the room with sad eyes. “To be honest, I don’t know.” He meets my eyes. “But it can’t hurt to try. She’s already dying
I whimper, “She in?” I hadn’t wanted to believe that, even though I knew it was true. I’m not sure what I expected Benjamin to be able to do for her, but I had hoped it would be something!
“No!” Koda snaps, shoving him. “No she is not!!” He says again. “She can’t.” He leans down, kisses Emily’s face then whispers, I haven even had the chance to love you yet. You will not die on me.” His eyes find mine. Tell me why you think I should mark her,” he whispers. “What makes you think that will work? How can my venom help fight venom?”
“I don’t knoww,” I say softly. “It’s just something I feel” I smile, trying as best I can to encourage him. “You are her mate. You have to try.”
He glares, “Promise me that it won’t kill h
her and I’ll do it.”
I tense, closing my eyes for a brief moment as I struggle to say the words that might be a lie, “I promise.”

He tears up, his throat quaking as he snarls, “Command me. As my la you can make me do it.”
I pause, my eyes going wide as I attempt to understand exactly what his asking of me. “1”
“Tim sorry. But I just can’t let it be my fault. Please,” he hisses. “Command me to do it.”
My jaw clenches as fresh tears pool behind my eyes. I don’t how it is that I find the words, but I do. I nod and say, “As your Luna, I command you. Mark her.”
He nods with relief, his langs spearing out as he muzzles into her shoulder. He whispers, “I’m so sorry, love, I should have been there for you.” His fangs trace over the black veins of her skin and my heart begins to pump wildly in my chest.
If this doesn’t work – if this doesn’t heal her – it will kill her. I will have killed her. It will be on me.
Koda’s eyes fall closed. “Come back to me, please,” he begs, then he sink his fangs into the side of her neck.
