Chapter 353: Broken Bond
EMMA
~
The pain on the left side of my breast is unbearable. It started the moment I was halfway through the spell and I simply ignored it, trying so hard to concentrate because if I stop it will ruin everything.
But why does it hurt so much? I lied to Dace that the effect would be minimal because this was a powerful spell that goes against the laws of nature, rewriting DNA when it happens under natural circumstances was like pulling a nail from the depths of an ocean. But I didn’t want Dace to worry about me getting hurt because if he knew he wouldn’t let me do this, I wanted to save him... I wanted to help him and this was the only way.
But why did it feel like something else was about to happen? Like I was being sunk into a pit I would slowly drown in, I slowly opened my eyes after finalizing my spell and that was when I dropped to the floor on my knees and wailed in pain gripping the left side of my chest where Dace’s mark is... But it wasn’t just my cry of pain.
I finally let my eyes move from the floor and to Dace kneeling in front of me. Pure dread overcame me when I saw the scene unfolding before me...
"D-Dace!"
There was a pool of blood he just retched, clenching his mark just as I was too. What’s happening? Why is the spell doing this? It was supposed to rewrite his DNA, right?
Dace growled, his teeth clenched, and I noticed the movement of his beast hair around his body like he was trying to resist the pain amidst a shift. Strangled, with his throat veins visible he looked at me with bloodshot eyes, and more blood spilled from his lips.
