I couldn't help but snort derisively. "The bane of my existence." My voice echoed in the cold, damp air, a stark reminder of the torment I had endured. "Gods, almighty," Kairos hissed, his voice tight with frustration as he hovered over Valentin's shoulder.

The tension in his voice was palpable, a mix of urgency and dread. Valentin remained silent, his focus unwavering. He pressed his hands against one of the chains binding me, his determination evident as he attempted to pry them apart. With a grunt of effort, he managed to dent one, but the price was steep; deep burns marred his palms. I could see the frustration etched on his face as he raked his fingers through his hair, only to wince again when his fingers brushed against the raw wounds. "Move," Kairos barked, his tone leaving no room for argument.

I watched as his wolf, a magnificent creature cloaked in shadow, approached from behind Valentin. There was an elegance to the way he shifted, a grace that belied the raw power within him. For a fleeting moment, his piercing gaze locked onto mine, a silent understanding passing between us. Then, he bent down, grasping the chain with fierce determination. With a single, powerful pull, it snapped in two, the sound echoing ominously in the stillness. I noticed his own palms were burned, the blood pooling ominously, a testament to his sacrifice.

With careful hands, the two men began to unravel me from the chains that had held me captive. As I fell to the floor, a wave of pain surged through my body, each ache and throb a reminder of the torment I had endured. But before I could fully register the agony, strong arms enveloped me, lifting me gently. My head rested against Kairos's forearm as he cradled me across his lap. Valentin knelt before me, his expression a mix of concern and urgency. He lifted my arms, inspecting the blisters that had formed, etched deeply into my skin.

His fingers moved to my neck, brushing aside the matted, blood-dried hair from my shoulder. A sharp intake of breath escaped him, and I felt a shiver run through me at his reaction. Kairos leaned in closer, his face paling as he took in the sight. "Is that normally how they do that?" he asked, his voice strained. "No," Valentin replied, shaking his head slowly, his fingers pressing gently over my wound. "They used special knives. Ones forged from wolfsbane. They're designed to cause harm to wolves.

That's why these wounds remain open, and why your body hasn't healed them yet." His voice was steady, but I could sense the underlying anger simmering just beneath the surface. Valentin's gaze shifted to Kairos, his frown deepening. "Where's the Princess?" he asked, concern etching lines across his face. "Dunno," Kairos grunted, his frustration palpable as he gestured toward me with a nod of his chin. "Got more important things here." Valentin nodded, his expression resolute as he continued to examine my body.

His hands moved with a careful precision, searching for any further signs of injury. He glanced back up at Kairos, determination in his eyes. "Find the Princess. We need to know her involvement," he instructed, his tone brooking no argument. He then shifted his hands beneath my neck and thighs, preparing to lift me. "Plus, our prisoner has run off." "Fuck," Kairos swore, his voice low as he transferred me into Valentin's arms. As he pressed one hand against my thigh, warmth radiated through me, a fleeting comfort that vanished as soon as his hand withdrew.

I nearly cried out at the sudden loss of contact, but I bit my lip to stifle the sound. Kairos shot me a worried glance, his dark gold eyes wide with concern, nearly black in the dim light. With a curt nod to Valentin, he shifted, darting into the surrounding brush, leaving just the two of us behind. Valentin continued his careful examination of my body, his hands turning each limb delicately, assessing the damage with a focused intensity. I slowly raised my hand, wincing at the sight of the blisters that marred my wrist.

It was hard to believe that Valentin was truly there, that I wasn't lost in a nightmare. I needed to touch him, to ground myself in reality. My fingers grazed his cheek, a whisper of a connection. "I-" I started, but the words caught in my throat. "Save your energy, love," he said softly, his voice a soothing balm against my pain. He gently pulled my hand back down, tucking it over my ribcage, a protective gesture that sent warmth flooding through me. "You need it to heal those wounds." His fingers paused, hovering over the area of my thigh that had been bleeding.

"You've healed," he stated, astonished, his eyes widening in disbelief. "What?" I mumbled, glancing down, half-expecting to see a gaping wound where the vampires had sliced me open. Instead, all I found was dried blood, a remnant of the violence I had endured. Then, I remembered the warmth I had felt there, a flicker of hope igniting within me. I let my head fall back, resting against Valentin's arm, seeking solace in his presence. "Kairos," I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. "What?" Valentin gasped, his eyes darting in alarm.

"He healed you?" I could only hum in response, my eyelids growing heavy as I surrendered to the exhaustion. My breaths deepened, the world around me beginning to blur. "He can't have," Valentin murmured, almost to himself. "These wounds can only be healed by-" But his words faded into a distant echo, swallowed by the encroaching darkness. The pain that had gripped me like a vice lifted as I slipped into unconsciousness, the world around me dissolving into a deep, comforting blackness.

Conclusion As I drifted into the comforting embrace of unconsciousness, the weight of my torment began to lift, replaced by a fragile sense of hope.
