Torture Serafine POV My body burns , I was ready for something , some kind of pain , but this ? 1 want to claw away my skin , I want to peel it off to dig out whatever is in my blood . Once the door is locked , I use a chair to block it , then I pull the dresser over and place it in front as well . I tried not to scream , to react , but I couldn't . Falling to the floor , I cry , and force myself not to scream despite the pain that is burning through me .

My hands grip the carpet , and I lean forward . It's too much , a scream erupts from within me before I sob against the floor . I can't cope with this , I'm used to pain , to everything , but this is too deep , too much , and I honestly want to die . The Hollowfang Raven lands on the window , and I struggle to stand up up , walking over , I open it before falling to the floor again as another wave of pain explodes within me . " Your mate can ease the pain . " The Raven's voice has me shaking .

I don't want him near me . He caused this , he did this . I scream again as my body shakes , and the burning grows . " What you were injected with causes normal wolves slight pain , and limits their connection to their wolf . " The Raven's words annoy me , and I try to stop another scream . " For Veyrathi , it severs the bond from their wolf entirely . If you don't let your mate near for your wolf to connect with theirs , you will lose your wolf . " My head shakes quickly .

" No , " I growl , and hear the knock . I can't let him near me . This is his fault . I can hear him calling through the door asking to come in , but I don't answer . I cling to the carpet , to the bedding , to anything that is close to me . My body burns , and the longer I'm here , the less I feel my wolf . I don't want to lose my wolf , but I also don't want to let Xander near me . Even if it wasn't meant to be this painful , how could he try to mute my wolf ? What sort of monster does that ?

I scream again and crouch over , before sobbing . The door bangs , but I ignore it . I don't care what he thinks or wants , I'm not moving , I'm not letting him in or near me . The Hollowfang Raven flies out of the window , and I crawl over , placing my back against the dresser so I can try to stop Xander from getting in . He's shouting at me to let him in , but I won't . Instead , I curl up on myself . Trying to grit my teeth through the pain .
