Uh Oh!

Hendrik sat up, growling. His soul said, Amelia, this is the end. Let the hunter kill me. I will try to keep him safe because I see he is important to you. I will keep my body from full on attacking him. His mental kiss brought tears to her eyes. I love you, even though I never had the chance to get to know you.

Denarius being the experience hunter he was did not hesitate on the attack, he lunged and landed a hard blow to Hendriks face making him fall of the bed

No! fight dammit! fight or you would have truly failed me She screamed at his soul, she had to do something, she knew how powerful denarius was as a hunter

His soul wrapped her in his love and said, I am fighting. I'm fighting myself so that you will live and have a chance to be happy. It is not the type of fighting you want, but it is fighting. Let me die knowing I used the last of my energy to save my lifemate.

How dare you give up after everything you have done! I won't forgive you and I won't let you off the hook that easily! She tackled Danarius off of him but was easily thrown off, Danarus probably thought she was under compulsion, but the second his true soul touched hers all the compulsion had been broken "Danarius stop you don't understand!" She screamed. But he didn't listen, they wrestled and exchanged many blows but she saw Danarus was about to give the fatal blow "Stop!" She screamed and a gush of energy sent them both flying into the wall as she ripped Hendriks soul forward, making him slam fully back into his body.

Her breathing was uneven and her eyes rolled and she passed out and began to fall

Hendrik caught her just before she fell and said, "Amelia! Come on! Wake up!" He clothed her and began rocking her, blood red tears flowing freely. "That was a stupid thing to do... I told you to let him kill me... Why would you risk yourself for me?" He ripped open his wrist and forced her to drink. "I claim you as my lifemate. I belong to you. I offer my life for you. I give to you my protection, my allegiance, my heart, my soul, and my body. I take into my keeping the same that is yours. Your life, happiness, and welfare will be cherished and placed above my own for all time. You are my lifemate, bound to me for all eternity and always in my care. Now, wake up!"

Amelia did not wake

Danarius got up, a look of disbelief on his face, yet he knew what he saw with his own eyes "she needs a healer now...and we need to talk " he said walking over to him "hand her to me and follow me" he said in a low tone letting him know it was not optional
