Chapter 74 She saved me
Caden's POV
I got to our room in record time. I head to our room and I place Trixie on her side, laying her on our bed.
Eugene was already in our room waiting for us.
"Brother What happened!!!" Coban asks.
"We were dancing. She whipped us around suddenly. That's when Lydia ran into her and ran off. Trixie instantly went limp in my arms." I rambled off while Eugene bent over to check her.
"Uh Kings. There's alot of blood. I'm sorry to even ask. Uh, uh her dress.." Eugene stutters.
I reach over and slide the zipper of her dress down. "Brother, I'm going to slightly lift her up, can you move the dress down please?" I say to him as I look at him pleadingly. Knowing he won't want to show not an inch of her to anyone.
He carefully and gently slides her dress down and he moves away to let Eugene get to her.
"Fuck!!! That Fucking Bitch!!!!" Coban screams, releasing his full aura, making even me flinch. Then his eyes glaze over. He's mind-linking someone.
Henry, Barry, and Elizabeth all walk into the room with machines, kits and goddess knows what else.
Then I look down. A wound A very deep wound. She was stabbed in the back. FUCK!!!
"My Kings". Elliott came through the link.
"We have a problem. The rogues" he began to say as I blocked him out.
"Kevan, Trixie has been stabbed. Elliott just linked us. Theirs problems at the dungeons and who knows where else. We can't leave her. Will you please take care of it. If you need us, link us and we will be on our way. Please." I say hurriedly to him.
"Of course. Stay there with our Queen. She needs you both. Mark and I will handle everything." He says as he ends the link.
"Brother, Kevan and Mark is going to take care of the rogues or whatever it is that's going on. They will update us and let us know if we're needed." I explain to him.
"I have warriors searching for Lydia!" Coban added.
"What happened Brother." Coban asks again like if asking me again will change my answer. Unfortunately, I say the same thing.
"We were dancing. All of a sudden, she turns us around. She hauls herself further up on my chest. Then she goes limp in my arms. Brother, it happened so fast." I say with tears in my eyes.
"We will find her. We will make her pay for what she's done. The entire palace is in lockdown.
We will definitely find her. Do you think she's working alone. Is she that bitter and pissed that she won't be the Queen that she'd go through such extreme measures." Coban rambles off his thoughts.
"Brother, she saved me. Lydia meant for that dagger to hit me. She was trying to kill me. Trixie is fighting for her life because of me. All because me. Why did I have to take her to dance. Hell brother, I knew better. The dance floor was way to crowded to guard her properly. It should be me laying there. Me taking my last breath. Not her. Definitely not her!!!"
Trixie's POV
Im laying here, not able to move. Not even a flinch. But I can hear them. I can hear my mates.
Caden. My dear lovely Caden. He's coming down hard on himself. I knew he would. It's hard laying here, listening to him. Wishing it was him instead. Talking down on himself.
I can't even console him. I can't even hug him. I just want to wrap my arms around him. Let him know we're alright. Let him know we will wake up soon. But I can't. Sorry my love.
While we were dancing, Leigha scented silver. That's when I looked around Cadens chest I was laying my head on and saw her. Lydia. She was holding onto something under her jacket.
I saw she was making a straight line for us. For Caden. He was definitely the target.
I didn't have any time to warn him. I had to react instantly.
Leigha screamed at me to help mate. That she would heal us afterwards.
That if he got hit with that he would die. But we would live.
Of course we would live. We're healers. We heal at a much faster pace than even he does and he's the King.
The choice was obvious. Leigha helped use her strength to twirl us around. For us to take that dagger.
I pulled myself up higher on his chest because with my height it would definitely hit me in the head, possibly my neck. Or miss me entirely and get him directly in his chest, his heart.
I tried the best I could to make sure I was angled so she wouldn't hit our heart. I had to make sure it hit me. Not him. Not my mate. Not my Caden.
Please love, don't blame yourself. This is tearing me up hearing him. Listening to him blame himself. "Leigha, do you have any strength left. Can you reach Drake." I ask as everything goes silent again.
