Van lifted the girl into his arms, ignoring the fighting going on around them. He rushed toward the dome, afraid he wouldn't get her treated in time. "Medic!" he yelled, panic in his tone. Finding his mate in the middle of a battle was not ideal. He feared that Niki's blade had killed her. He knew he needed to get her to the medic...and quick.
As he waited just outside the dome's gate, the sound of the ominous clicks of the sisters' bladed staffs extending echoed through the area. It made him shiver. He heard that sound during the challenge. He wasn't sure why, but the sound scared him.
As he waited at the dome's gate, Vorik stepped in front of him. "If you let her inside the dome, it will put us in danger," he stated evenly.
"Sir," Van swallowed. "She's my mate." His voice was shaky; the need to get her treated was overwhelming.
