Aries – POV
I never imagined my emotions could shift so violently. One second I was drowning in the warmth of Rex,arousal clouding every thought, my heart full, and the next, I was shouting for help.
The moment I touched her, her body ignited like fire.
And I froze.
“Rex?” I called, my voice cracking.
She didn’t respond. Her eyes were glazed, distant, unseeing.
Panic hit me like a punch to the gut. I scrambled off her, shaking her shoulders.
“Rex, hey, wake up. Come on.”
Nothing.
I immediately mind-linked Rose. Get my mother. Now.
I grabbed the sheets and gently covered Rex’s body, then took her hands in mine, gripping them tightly.
“Stay with me, Rex. Please...”
I’d never been this terrified. Not even in battle. Because this—this wasn’t something I could fight.
Where the hell
