Thorne’s POV
“Get up!”
I can’t move.
“They’re taking her!”
Pain echoes through my body, filling it and pulling me toward unconsciousness.
“We must protect our mate!”
I need to get up.
I need to save Aurora.
Forcing my eyes open, I blink past the blurriness that blinds me and search for my mate.
“There!” My wolf barks, guiding my eyes to the tree where a rogue, in human form, is carrying an unconscious Aurora. She’s still in her wolf form, but she hangs limply over the man’s shoulder.
“To the Alpha!” Anders shouts, jumping between me and a rogue who was about to pounce. He and several of my gammas surround me, fighting the remaining rogues and pushing them back from me.
“Are you alright?” Anders asks through our mind link.
“F-Fine,” I rasp. “I have to g-get Aurora.”
