Alpha Nox
“Her heartrate is steadying.”
I barely heard Nox’s voice, or the pop as Reese appeared in the dorm. Spots danced in my vision, but I was able to see the herd of healers he’d brought with him, along with Hakeem. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I registered Nox barking orders, warning the others not to touch me or move Natasha from my grasp.
The healers set to work, placing hands along her body in a group attempt to knit together the fatal wounds Slade had caused. Minutes passed and my vision darkened, the colors and sounds melting into a tangled mess I couldn’t begin to sort through.
