I Bought the exiled king (by Natalie Winter) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Valencia

I frantically grabbed Killian’s arm and wiped away the blood that seemed to be everywhere around me.

I was crying, sobbing bitterly.

“Hold it tighter,” I growled at the ass of a man who was supposed to save the prince because he was clumsy as fuck and couldn’t even stand straight.

“Put that paste on his wound, quick.” I shouted at Mary next.

“But I…”

“DO IT!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, and she let out a terrified squeal but hastily gathered some of the coarsely ground paste on the bandage and slapped it on his abdomen.

“Killian, come on, please look at me. Talk to me”

I frantically patted his cheeks, almost slapping him, but he was not responding.

I held up his arm and checked his pulse, but I really could not feel it.

“No, no, no, no,” Net out a teary wail, my voice choking as tears continued to stream down my eyes.

“You are not going to leave me!” I shouted and wiped my eyes again to calm myself.

I gently lowered myself and placed my ear on his heart while placing my finger on his wrist.

There had to be a pulse.

But I could not hear it over the thunderous beating of my own heart. I willed my heart to stop bursting my eardrums and focussed hard on his pulse and simultaneously also trying to hear his heartbeat.

At first, I heard absolutely nothing.

And then Mary screamed.

“The paste, it stopped the bleeding!!”

I had frozen in shock, willing Killian to open his eyes and talk to me. I thought I heard Mary say something, but her voice was drowned out,

It was as if I had zoned out and been transported to a different realm. I only wanted to hear Killian’s voice again, and to help him

heal.

“Please” I looked up at the sky, hoping that the Goddess or whatever divine power it was up there was hearing me.

“Please save him. Please, I will do anything. Anything. Please!!”

I begged through bloodshot eyes.

“My lady, the paste, its working!!”

Chapter 116

Mary shouted at me again. But I only could see her moving her lips and staring at me with shock.

I could hear nothing, not her shouting, not Killian’s heartbeat and neither the curtains fluttering in the wind.

Everything was suddenly muted, and for a second I thought that I was hallucinating. That maybe stress and fear had fucked up my

senses.

But then I heard something. A light scraping sound.

Timmediately tried to locate the source of that sound but could not find it. Were my senses tricking me?

My gaze flew back to Killian, who lay there on the bed, his breathing growing shallow and slow by the second.

“Killian!!” I screamed, but, surprisingly, I could not hear my voice either.

And then I felt a tug. It was gentle at first, but then it grew insistent pretty quickly.

I looked down to see if there was something pulling at my stomach but I could not see it. Even when I tried to feel it with my hands, my fingers only brushed against the fabric of my robe.

But I could still feel it.

A sharp tug at my navel as if an invisible hook had attached itself to my body and was pulling me away, dragging me.

“Nooo,” I tried to resist, but it wouldn’t let me.

I scrambled for purchase and tried to grab onto something, anything I could lay my hands on.

But I was being dragged away from Killian. I screamed for help, I shouted out loud, but it was as if I was in a bubble of some sort that blocked my voice from the outside world.

And when I tried to grab onto a nearby chair, my hand went right through it.

Something was pulling me away from this world. I didn’t know how I knew it, but that tugging feeling at the gut…it felt like this was not my first time.

I didn’t recall when I had felt it or what exactly had happened that time, but I knew that I did not want to leave Killian.

But before I knew I was swept up from my feet and felt I was floating away from the room and being carried somewhere else.

I felt like I was forced in some twisted tunnel that sucked me out of Killian’s room- my room and brought me somewhere else.

I crashed onto something hard, something rock solid, and groaned due to the impact.

My eyes struggled to focus, and my head wanted to burst out of my body due to the pain.

“Argh!”

I cried and felt something warm trickle down my nose. When I touched my face, my fingers came streaked red.

Slowly, I held my head with my hands, but it did little to stop the painful throbbing, and looked around.

I was not in Killian’s room or even the castle anymore.

Chapter 116

I was somewhere different entirely.

Scared, I clutched my chest and tried to get up on my wobbly legs but swayed from side to side dangerously.

And I heard a raspy voice again.

“You…are….back…again”

The voice drawled out, sounding creepy and downright scary. I could not even tell for sure if the voice belonged to a man or a

woman.
