I can’t save you, my Atlantic

BELLADONNA My eyes blinked slowly, trying to adjust to the bright light “Hayden…” I muttered, I thought I had seen him, I felt his presence, like he was near. “He just left.” A familiar female voice spoke up and my eyes fluttered opened, it was the herbalist from last night. “He came to make sure the job was done.” It didn’t matter if Hayden was here or not, the only thing that mattered was that my children were safe. “Thank you, for saving my children and I.” I smiled at her, happy tears in my eyes but sad ones covered hers. “You shouldn’t thank me,” she sighed, her focus going to the plants she was taking care of, like she was avoiding my eyes. “I know how risky what you did for me was and I just want you to know that I appreciate it.” I tried to look at her but that was when it came in full force, the pain, it was all over my body, I felt it everywhere. “what.. what is happening to me!” I screamed, my hands still tied in tight ropes that dug into my skin. “I'm Sorry… I’m really sorry, I had no choice, I was threatened.” The herbalists said and a laugh erupted from a voice I knew all too well as she walked in majestically. “Did you do this?” I stared at her, My sister and best friend, I could feel the redness of whatever was given to me penetrate my bones and body. “Did you do this to me, Tamara?” She laughed more, the herbalist looked down and walked to the other side of the room. my body felt like it was desiccating. “How does it feel? Does your bones feel crashed together? Can you feel your babies slowly dying inside you?” She laughed some more and I screamed and a cracked formed in my stomach and chest. “How could you do this, what the hell did you inject me with?” The more energy I used, the faster whatever was put into me went deeper. I was dying, my babies were dying, I felt it, I felt it all, I could barely see or breathe. I didn’t hurt anyone, all I did was Love, How could Hayden treat me this way? How could they treat me this way? “What is currently in your body is crushed silver bullet mixed with mistletoe.” She walked closer to the bed and I had to close my eyes because I was seeing double. “That is deadly to werewolves, you know this! You’re trying to kill me.” “Oh darling…” she scoffed. “You’re dead already, If I’m correct, you have about… seven to ten minutes to live.” I felt the sting in my chest grow thicker, she was right about one thing, I was a dead woman, the way I felt confirmed that, my bones were becoming harder and I could feel them cracking slowly, I didn’t get to see my children. I closed my eyes tightly as I tried to concentrate all my attention on my wolf and mind, Tamara was saying something but I couldn’t hear it, I couldn’t feel my wolf due to the first injection I was given but I still tried to mindlink with Hayden or someone else, I had to do something, I had to do anything. It wasn’t working, I was being blocked out, Hayden must have blocked me out, he was the only one I could mindlink with, I wanted to tell him what Tamara had done to me, I wanted to give him one last chance to redeem himself, if he valued what we both had, if he came here this morning because he missed me but just used the excuse of checking if the abortion worked, it was all in vain, he was out of reach. “You will pay for this, Tamara.” A tear slipped from my eyes and at the same time, I felt the life in my stomach disappear, they were gone, Dead. The silver bullet killed them first and now it was going to do the same to me, another tear from my other eye but it was red, Blood. “I will Make you pay.” She laughed and scoffed before turning her back and walking out of the room. The herbalist couldn’t say a word, she just stared at the ground in shame. “All I did was love him. He didn’t trust me enough to believe me.” My voice was hitched and the burn was finding it’s way up my throat. “He didn’t love me enough to save me.” Hayden was supposed to believe me, if not for anything, for the wolf bond we both shared, Or was it because I was a worthless beta that he picked from grass to fame, did he think of me as someone without morals because I didn’t grow with a silver spoon? He denied our children like they were nothing, I had only one regret in this life and that was being mated to Hayden Blackwood. “I’m sorry, Belladonna. I didn’t want to do this to you.” Sniffs filled the room. I coughed, blood spilling out of my mouth, my eyes were filled with blood too now, opening them hurt too bad and I couldn’t bare the pain, the poison in me was eating me slowly, my body, my being, everything in me. This was not a slow death, it was a painful one. “I did this to myself when I accepted the mate bond with Hayden,” it hurt to speak but nothing hurt more than the ache that stayed perfectly in my chest, eating me out. Every part of me. “For making myself a clown by thinking my husband would believe me and that my best friend and sister actually loved me.” “Bella..” Footsteps came closer and so did her voice. “I’m so sorry.” “I condemn myself for thinking I could be loved, I condemn myself for trusting my best friend, I condemn myself for not being strong enough to protect my children, I condemn myself for being born into this pack.” I used the last ounce of strength I had to open my eyes that were bloodied and I looked up to the ceiling but giving myself the impression that I was talking to the moon goddess directly. “I have never asked for anything in my life but today, great one, I ask for one thing,” I felt the tears of blood roll down to the side of my cheeks and my eyes got filled up again with thick red. “I ask for a second chance, I ask for a second chance to take my revenge. The last words came out in a soft mumble that I suspected only I heard it, I felt my body take one last inhale with all my strength, an exhale followed and the life slipped away from me, I was gone.
