Crossing the Border (Rania) novel Chapter 235

**He Asked Me to Leave My Dreams, So I Decided to Make Him One of Them by Mira Lorian**
**Chapter 235**

The warriors ushered her into a vacant guest room within the pack house, their expressions grim and urgent. They carefully laid Elder Gayle upon the bed, where the stark contrast of his blood began to stain the pristine sheets, a vivid reminder of the dire situation at hand.

It was clear to Rania that time was of the essence. The bullet lodged within Elder Gayle’s body was silver, a substance known to inhibit the healing abilities that were his only hope for survival. If they did not remove it swiftly, Elder Gayle would succumb to his injuries, as his own powers would be rendered useless against the toxic metal.

“Where is the healer? Where is Karin?” Rania’s voice trembled as she demanded answers from the warriors, her heart racing. She had insisted they summon Karin, and one of the warriors had rushed off to fetch her. Yet, the seconds felt like hours, stretching painfully as she waited, her anxiety mounting.

As if summoned by her thoughts, Karin finally entered the room, accompanied by the warrior who had gone to retrieve her. The sight of her brought an immediate sense of relief, a balm to Rania’s frayed nerves.

“It’s alright, I’ll take a look at him,” Karin reassured Rania, her voice steady as she gestured toward Elder Gayle, who lay there, struggling to breathe.

Karin knelt beside the bed, her hands deftly examining the elder while outside, the sounds of chaos grew louder, a cacophony of danger creeping closer.

“We need to evacuate! The enemies have breached the building!” one of the warriors exclaimed, his voice laced with urgency.

“What do you mean they’re inside? Isn’t your alpha doing anything about it?” Karin snapped, frustration bubbling within her as she fought to maintain her focus amidst the rising panic.

“The alpha is leading the warriors against the intruders, but they’re overwhelming us!” the warrior replied, his voice tinged with desperation.

Karin’s mind raced. “No, that can’t be right. There’s no way they could have that many fighters. I know how many Barlukan warriors crossed the border, and Alpha Letto said half of them had already been eliminated.”

Yet, the tension etched on the faces of the three warriors told a different story. They were receiving updates through their mindlink, their expressions tight with worry.

“We must move now!” another warrior urged. “The enemies are closing in. We need to ensure the queen’s safety!”

The three warriors were visibly agitated, their urgency palpable as they implored Rania to leave.

“We will escort you to safety, my queen, but we have to go at once.”

Rania shook her head vehemently. The thought of abandoning Karin and Elder Gayle, who was visibly deteriorating, was unbearable.

“You must leave, Rania,” Karin insisted, her tone firm yet filled with concern. “You are their target. If they capture you, everything you hold dear will be lost. You need to go now, before it’s too late.”

Rania hesitated, torn between her loyalty to her friends and the gravity of the situation. But Karin pressed on, her grip on Rania’s hand a lifeline in the storm of chaos. “By leaving, you’re helping us. They want you, not me. I’ll stay here with Elder Gayle; he can’t go anywhere in this state.”

With a heavy heart, Rania realized she had no choice. She nodded, following the three warriors as they led her away from the room, each step feeling like a betrayal to the ones she left behind.
